Why, Irene?

It may belong in the "chat" area instead of here, but why report?

Just curious.

Personally, I have done a few, and most of my stories revolve around the "partner" I took with me -- the one who wouldn't shut up, the one who kept asking "did you get her name?", the one who said "what else do you need to time?", the one who wouldn't let me take a photo BEFORE they ate.....etc. Not to mention the one who just couldn't get ready in time....
Look at his past posts and you will see why - especially the ones that got moderated.

Kim
kimmiemae is right. And you won't be able to see all his past posts. A couple of his visible posts were moderated and you can see them. But of his 38 posts, 14 were completely deleted. I agree with Irene. I also reported this post for negativity. His last thread and all posts was deleted because of his negativity, accusing other posters of having dual identities and "spreading hate and anger." He's starting this thread out in the same negative way. This does not add a positive contribution to the community.
Perhaps he (she) is trying to, well, turn over a new leaf. Maybe learned their lesson?

Or maybe I'm just an eternal optimist?

P.S. -- wouldn't know a "dual screen name" if it bit me.
I love Ruth Chris. Oh wait, I posted that story using my other screen name, LOL. I forgot.
Thank you to those that responded and those that sent PM’s.


Thanks again to those that truly use this forum to help others.

Thanks, I know they have some great reveal shops. I heard they were fun and rewarding to the servers. It’s always nice to see good service recognized.

That’s so funny. That happened to me on a $200 upscale shop. My guest was so busy talking she cut the steak before I could take a picture. Took some creative writing and a awesome scheduler to recover from that potential nightmare.
Thanks again for those members whom have sent PM’s. Having fun, learning and helping is so rewarding. It’s amazing all of the valuable information I have received from some members.

Knowing it is against the ICA rules to list restaurants and companies, why would anyone ask, and for Pam (new shopper above), read and comprehend or you'll never make it in this business. Signing up with newer companies for one's self is a great way to find business.....but then all experienced shoppers know this....just sayin.

Live consciously....
Even sending PMs with that information is against forum rules. And don't think that the forum moderators don't read PMs from time to time, so if you are breaking the rules by doing that...well you shouldn't.
Pam you will rock in this business. You’re able to reach out and ask questions. Some members here are extremely nice and helpful. If you have a question you can always PM members whom seem as if they want to help and you can avoid others whom just want to keep the work for themselves.

Mystery shopping can be challenging and fun. Don’t forget the fun.
Hey, keep in mind that if you are sharing information in a PM about companies and shops that's against the rules to post openly, it's still breaking forum rules.
Anyone that PM's me asking questions opposed by our rules, will be reported. Not following ICA's rules shows them you won't be an honest shopper and you will be de-activated.....sorry, this is a business and built on integrity. Those that don't want to do their own work, learn there's no easy way.

Live consciously....

Hey, we know that and thank you. We are trying to help each other and have fun. Exchange funny stories, challenges and obstacles.
And don't forget to use good grammar, Jeff. Your usage of the word "whom" in your post is totally incorrect.

Thanks. Wonderful when we help over tearing down.

There are exceptions.

Where did I attack anyone? I just made a generalized comment. Take it personally if you'd like.

English major and former MSC editor here, and it hasn't been that long since I was an editor.

Again things change through the years. Sometimes we refuse to accept that. We all know that old doctor that refuses to use newer medication or procedures. That’s when we know that famous search function is needed for a new doctor.
