Also, I put an audio recorder in my bra and I have forwarded the recording more than once when a disreputable employee denied doing or saying something or accused me of not asking a specific question. I HATE to not get paid. Good luck in the future.

I do 3-8 bonused grocery stores every single week. I have had no issues. I write each report “fresh” never using copy and paste. I also rotate through the 4 possible questions. I wasn’t even questioned when the associate told me, “I have no idea, I don’t know, and lettuce is good on the grill.”
Well that would be true for me too, but I’d still know the answer. Perhaps they should move him to produce? (Different union actually.)@Traveliz wrote:
One guy in a meat department always had the same answer, “I don’t know. I don’t cook and really don’t like meat.” Oh ok
How much was the PAD on the grocery store? Just curious, as all of mine have PAD now. They range from $5-$15 per location.@carrilvm wrote:
I should have been more clear-3 shops. But three of the high paying shops with PAD of course. And, even after deciding they weren't going to pay me for these three, they still were going to let me complete 15 more?! How strange!!

Yes, I replied and the shops I am not being paid for are even marked as "Resolved". I really don't get it.

I have a few of these scheduled coming up so good to know. I never get any PAD around here, they are gone so fast so I am jealous of all of you who get bonuses. On the other hand, another good client for grocery store shops MUCH easier than trendsource and better to work with is Second to None. They dont have set questions but give some examples in case you are struggling to think. Also, many less departments and interactions.

I recently did grocery store shops for this company and the company is refusing to pay me because they say the answers that I received from store employees are too similar among the different stores I visited. The shopper is given a choice of four different questions to choose from. So, when a shopper is assigned to 38 of these shops it's not like they can ask 38 different questions in the departments because as I said, there is a choice of four different questions for each department! There is no wonder a shopper will get very similar responses to simple and routine questions like "do you sell organic fish"?! The answer is typically yes or no. This is appalling to me. I have literally done over 3,000 mystery shopping jobs over the past five years and NEVER have I not been paid when I followed guidelines 100% of the way, did the shops on the correct date/time, and completed the reports on time. To add insult to injury, one of the shops that I am being refused payment for, I had to complete twice because the first time I did it, the scheduler changed the shop date on me AFTER I performed the shop and I didn't even know until I went to report the shop. I was then promised at least the reimbursement amount for that shop, but of course, have yet to receive that either. This entire situation is bizarre to me and I hope that other shoppers don't end up in the same boat.

And now the question I'm dying to ask: are you still being offered shops by them?
Post removed as it breached the Forum guideline which states, "Do not reveal the clients of mystery shopping companies". Additionally, it is an ICA violation to name both the MSC and client.
