Reading these comments, I really think they are talking about the wrong company unless MSP has changed software companies they've always used Prophet, not Sassie as far as I know. I did a couple of really nice restaurant shops for them in NJ over the years and in no way could my wife and I afford to eat at these restaurants. I myself to be getting reimbursed $150.00 for our dinner for 2 is fantastic and it was no more work then mystery shopping a Denny's. Plus I was paid back within a month, way faster than any other shopping companies. In fact, I've done work for other shopping companies and was never paid back at all. So we accept shops from MSP without any hesitancy at all.

Are shopper natural complainers. You never see someone write something nice about a company, it's always stupid stuff their writing about and then they are not even sure of which company they are writing about. I love when you see comments from shoppers like I only got $30.00 for the shop like its a bad thing. You accepted the shop so why are you complaining? If you didn't think the shop was worth your time, why did you take it? I really don't think that the mystery shopping companies are the ones setting the reimbursement prices. I've seen reimbursement prices all over the place. You don't even get $30.00 to eat a McDonalds yet it takes the same amount of time to do the shop and you accept them for half the price. Your suppose to be a mystery shopper and if you can't even get the facts right about who your writing about you shouldn't be in this business.

Reading what comments? I do not see any other posts

For many shoppers, performing a high end restaurant shop is risky. If the shop is rejected, the shopper is still on the hook for a huge food bill. Big difference between being out 20.00 and being out 150.00. As independent contractors, each of us can decide whether the risks are worth the compensation. For a shopper to front load that kind of money is a risk.

Also, there are many good MSC's with excellent responsive schedulers and editors. There is a shout out page here. Go and see for yourself.

Yes, some shoppers are natural complainers and they do find their way here. The most abusive complaints I see are from newbie shoppers who expected so much more money and jobs that were "no work at all." Most of those shoppers will not be mystery shopping long, or, if they do last a while as mystery shoppers, they will shop relatively infrequently. As for good comments and writing nice things about companies, I see plenty of great comments here on the forum. Most of them are interspersed with the general forum, but the forum actually has a separate area just for Kudos and nice comments about companies: [www.mysteryshopforum.com]

I don't see other posts before yours about any MSCs, OP. What posts are you referring to, and why did you not respond in the same thread where you saw them so it was clear what you are talking about?
