Yes. BUT, they use only a small cadre of shoppers that go through a lot of training (pun intended). Almost none of their shops are long haul. The MSC adds to that shopper group when someone retires or dies, lol. (Or a new "hub" is requested by the client. Unless you live within a couple of hours of one of the hubs, you will not qualify, per client's very rigid rule. Reports are very detailed and the shoppers must be alert to many, many timings of associate's movements through the coaches.

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.

Walesmaven does this same MSC also shop airports and other facilities using a similar approach?

Not that I am aware of. And, you will never see these shops on a job board. Applications to join that list are by invitation only.

thank you for the reply. I live very near to major train hub. are there multiple MSC's who offer travel shops via train, bus or air, or is there just the one north of us. TY for reply.

I only know of the one north of us. Others may have further information.

I have seen shops to be done while in the air for several msc in the past. I do not do these so my brain has pushed that info to overload and I do not remember. I have seen them recently tho. These do not pay the entire airfare but will help out with the payment if you are going somewhere anyway.
Very recently there was a thread about luggage requirements on a train trip. This may have been the same company that was mentioned above but it sounded as if it might be a job only about overweight luggage.
