Are there two different companies with virtually the same name?

Different companies. Irene, did you get paid by NSSN or NSS? Are you signed up with both companies?[
This thread is about NSS and has nothing to do with their sister company NSSN. NSS paid me for my May jobs.. I found the info. interesting, as I didn't know they also owned NSSN. I've never worked for NSSN/quote]

Sweetie, no offense, but are you sure the two companies are related?

Look what I found when I searched Howard Troxel, Colorado - the heading was "National Shoppng Service Network" and this blurb was below that:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Credentials

Jerry Goodwin and Howard Troxel founded J&K Shopping Service as a Colorado-based regional mystery shopping company in 1986. In 1990 they founded the National Shopping Service Network, LLC (NSSN) in order to spread their mystery shopping business to a national/international level. Both companies provide multi-industry mystery shopping, as well as customer service and integrity audits. NSSN handles all of the surveys and merchandising.

The founders have extensive experience in customer service, customer satisfaction measurement, consumer data gathering, integrity evaluations, hospitality industries, business consulting, education, new business development, program implementation and community service.

Still no check for me as of yesterday. I will be contacting the pizza place HQ on monday to see if they have heard anything else. Has anyone received payment for pizza shops? I did other shops for NSS... but that was years and years ago. I have only done pizza for the last 40 months. and yes I need my checks. Its only 700 but i do this to make ends meet. Not to have pocket money.

Folks - I did not post the blurb from NSSN's website because I "know" that the two companies are related. I simply took Irene's statement that the check came from Colorado and was signed by Howard Troxel. Howard Troxel is not a name like John Smith so I did a search for Howard Troxel in Colorado and the NSSN site came up. I was curious if Irene was getting paid for the pizza shops or some other shop. There can be all kinds of speculation about this. For instance, maybe NSSN is going to take over the restaurant contract that Irene did, or maybe they are going to buy NSS' database, or . . . whatever! I just thought it was interesting. And, I am signed up with both NSS and NSSN. In the early days, I did think they were one and the same and finally realized they were two different companies owned by two different parties. I never did any work for NSSN because they have not had any work in my area.

I read the article posted here and it said NSS owns NSSN as they wanted to go International. ...you came late to the party, people are asking me if I worked for them, so, many read that article, and no, I have never worked for them (NSSN). try and find it the article "Sweetie".

Hmm, how weird. In my neck of the woods, calling someone an arse, idiot, moron, etc. is a putdown, but sweetie, honey, sugar, etc. is not a put down. Where I live those things are words of endearment, and given that I was not trying to be offensive (and even used the words, "no offense"), "sweetie" should not be taken as an offensive or sarcastic putdown. I do know that people in here tend to get offended by cupcake and snowflake, but sweetie? C'mon.

I'm pretty sure that NSSN (Howard) has nothing to do with NSS (Matt).
