Market Force - Lo Ball Payment

You do realize that by doing a "deep disguise" you reveal yourself as a mystery shopper. Just go in there as a customer and act natural. It's not that difficult. If you start acting paranoid they will mark you as strange.

I don't know how 'disguise' becomes 'paranoid'. Having mystery shopped all of these years and not been 'revealed' I think you would need another basis upon which to attempt to train me.

That's an interesting comment.
Do you carry protection SoCalMama or is that not the interesting part? Would you like to comment on what part you found interesting?
Someone was drunk on the imsc conference call. Wonder who it was. They had to delete the entire recording.

What kind of shops does MarketForce have that you feel you need to be armed for?
We are evaluating minimum wage employee primarily, or less in the case of wait staff. Imagine the scenario when some receive their review and corrective measures. There is a famous case of the possible consequences of this job already. You can't go to the same outlet you went to a few months ago, having written a bad report and not be ready to protect yourself. Anyone think MF doesn't have jobs that are not listed on the board as well has their eggs in only a few baskets.
If you do the mystery shop right, the employee shouldn't know who wrote the report.

You're kidding, right?

Did you do anything to make yourself standout as a mystery shopper? How would the employee know which customer was a mystery shopper? (Unless it's an open audit)

When I got my PI Card in NV, not the work card, I was offered, armed or unarmed. Even in Las Vegas, I have never felt the need to be armed.

You seem very dramatic.
I wear my seat-belt at all times when driving and in an airplane. I don't put extra salt on my food, I use herbs instead.

I seem very dramatic? You seem very judgmental.
Ha ha! My husband just read this and he said, very loudly like he was at a football game

EAST COAST, WEST COAST
Definitely. I'm a California native. I went to Rutgers. Deep culture shock! I asked my roomie why he had his clothes hung alternating in the closet (ie, one hanger facing forward, the normal way a person hangs things in the closet, the next one hung over the bar from the back). He told me, it slows down a thief, he can't just grab a handful of hangers and take off.

I never wear a seatbelt, I salt my food as much as I want, and rated sharpshooter status at the gun range, LOL!!!

Definitely East Coast West Coast. In the West, we are more worried about having to evacuate because of fire than having someone steal the clothes. In my area, thieves don't want the clothes, they want the electronics, cash, credit cards, and anything that looks like it could be quickly liquidated. We keep our clothes with all hangers all hung going the same way in case we have to quickly grab the clothes and run due to evacuation.

You’re entitled to your opinion.

I still haven’t heard a rational reason why you’d need a gun to shop mindless fast food and quick casual restaurants for marketforce.

I just don’t think our reports are that big of a deal. The idea that a fast food employee would physically attack me over a poor report seems pretty out there.
It was an example. The fast food part that was grasped onto happens to be the topic but I actually said outlet. Self-defense is an important topic and ends up being a personal decision.

Redundant post above. I was learning how that person quoted what I said.

I think it depends on who the company hires and how they feel about the reports. Many of the gas station routes I do are franchises with employees. The ones that have the owners working the counter are not too happy to pay to have someone report on them in some of the southern states.
Since MF lost their grocery store and burger joint in neighborhoods you need a special skill to stay alive I do not see anything that would make me go out to the car and turn the key. Mystery Shopping is a business not a charity. Clients can not hire employees who will pay for their own gas and work for less than minimum wage.

Any and all. Constant carry.

Wasn't hard to find, was it?

So, there are tons of shops near the Inland Empire (Riverside, CA area) for A Closer Look, not just one. He can only see one for quality reasons.
Maybe he doesn't fit the age requirements or the gender requirements.
A Closer Look is not exactly the creme-de-la-creme of mystery shopping, after all.

There are no age or gender requirements to fit for most of their shops (ACL).
I probably do less than $5,000 a year for them. No big deal.
