Some emails just chap my hide.

I don't respond to most mass emails sent by MSC's, claiming to be urgent, high paying, easy, or fun. This one just plain rubs me the wrong way. I don't like the tone of it. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't even want to do the shop. Why would I give such detailed personal information without even knowing what for?

You're receiving this email because you're registered in our database at
___ and we have a high-paying shop opportunity ($125) in your area.
PLEASE RESPOND to help me confirm or deny
your eligibility for the shop, so that I can stop "bugging" you with email
notifications.

I will update your profile and let you know if you are eligible for this
shop or not, if you'll respond with answers to the following questions:

1. Do you currently have a job or business, separate from mystery
shopping? If so, what is your title/occupation? Where do you work (name
of employer)?

2. Are you retired? If so, what was our past title/occupation? Where
did you work (name of employer)?

3. Are you employed at/by OR retired from a school or school district?
If so, please explain (position, past or present, school/school district).

I've gotten that same email, too!! Two days in a row!! In the first place, it's none of their business! In the second place, I just hit "delete"! But yes, very irritating!!

I know the company who sent this. I went into the job to see what they were looking for, all they had to do is tell you the requirements, not ask all those questions. This company is helpful when needed. The company does some things in a strange way.

I told the scheduler that I was interested but I didn't give any of the requested information. She asked if I had ever worked for a school system. I said no, and was disqualified.

I think it's weird and a waste of shopper time. I skim emails that I think are possible jobs to see the requirements. I am not going to email someone to have them tell me what they could say in the email they sent me in the first place. It's inconsiderate at the very least.

Wouldn't it just be simpler to ask "Are you a schoolteacher or retired schoolteacher?"

Don't cha know, though, that a vast majority of people do not have...how should I put this....the analytical skills to look at something and write concisely about it?

Talk about burying the lede......

I was an enforcement agent for the prion cartel, had to retire because I was captured and my suicide pill failed. That is what happens when you use the lowest bidder.

For a chapped hide you can try Boudreaux's Butt Paste. Really, it's a thing!

eta: not advertising, never tried it. Heard an ad and thought it was one of the funniest product names I'd ever heard. Sometimes I'm still a ten year old. Giggle, giggle.
