2 shops same day same location?

Hello,

I tried searching but didn't find this answer. There is an establishment that one MSC has a dinner shop at and another has a bar shop at. Does anyone know if I could get in trouble for doing both shops on the same night? I would love to pick up that extra cash but value my shopper status more. Thank you

My first concern would be, do they call for interactions with the same person, e.g. the person at the greeting/host position? Or in the bar, for the dinner shop?

Next, does either state that you cannot have shopped the same "location" within the past "X" days? Or have any rotation limitation?

Finally, and this is crucial, do you have, in writing, permission from BOTH schedulers? In asking them do NOT reveal the name of the other MSC !!! (ICA issue)

Good questions thank you. The location has more than one bar so I would for sure evaluate 2 different bartenders. They do have rotation requirements but I have never shopped this location before so I'm not sure the rotation would apply seeing as how I would turn in my reports on the same day and won't be identified as a shopper. I did not ask for permission as of now.
Thank you!

I would ask for permission, explaining to both schedulers what you just told us above.

The client will most likely see your information. If the different shops are for the same client, then there could be an issue as previously discussed.

In general, if a MSC has a rotation that is not of our concern across multiple MSCs. If the client has the restriction, it is about our integrity. In addition, the client tends to limit how many drinks we have. Two bar shops combined would in effect impair your ability to properly perform the second shop.

Same situation if you shopped two different bars back to back. A friend of mine did this for a security company that handled bar integrity shops. He admitted to me driving drunk when hitting more than one location in an evening. I am sure his observations were less than perfect as the night wore on.
