I was assigned a shop last Thursday and I attempted contact with a target the same day without luck. Tried again Friday no luck. I informed the company of my lack of success in reaching target and told them I would try again Monday as no weekend contacts are allowed. And despite this I have received 2 overdue shop notices. I usually can complete shops quickly IF I am able to reach targets and mak
I do not work for free. The companies are PAID for the results of the survey and their promises of being entered in a contest are just a bunch of hokey. I never see who won anything so why bother. Market Force is famous for asking for free info- my reply is NO!
There are Medicare agent shops posted- they pay $2 for the phone call to set appt. then $28 for the actual shop which involves a full explanation of Medicare plans- which I am sure can be lengthy! . Not sure they are worth it as the agents feel they are going to make a sale and can be long winded based on previous ones I did in the past for other companies. Considering taking one but then thinki
I often find myself in Krogers NOT on a shop and checking out the names of various employees and looking at milk dates, yogurt, eggs and stocking of chicken at the deli!
I agree if you contact scheduler and explain what happened they will help. Their goal is to get the shops done so if you offer to do the shop at the correct location I think you will be fine.
Yes they are a JOKE. I did one last year and started to ask the required how many studios, how many 1 bedrooms, how many 2 bedrooms there were. The person gave me "ballpark" figures as she was not sure of exact numbers. When I started to ask how many vacancies in each group the person said no one ever asked that and what was my reason for knowing that and actually said she had to go in a rather
I have been given multiple gift cards from friends to Texas Roadhouse and I never go to dine in as the NOISE level is so high I cannot deal with it!! I get drive up service which is good
I am both a Kroger stock holder and shopper. I certainly want Kroger to do well as we own some of their stock and hope it has nice returns. I preferred the pick ups obviously as $30 in groceries for little work was appealing. I had issues on many shops not with the actual pick up but with placing the order- the website would not allow me to place the order and there was NO PLACE on the report to

Not sure what Kroger "Deedee thoughts" shops in but at the 5 or so I shop at employees are not trying to ease drop on conversations you are having with another customer about what fruit is good or whatever. Actually polite employees do NOT ease drop on customers and butt in with comments. As the shops are to be done ALONE is a shopper supposed to pick a random customer and start a conversation
A good way to get around the 3 different UPCs if you want to buy 3 of the same UPC item is to pick up a banana and a Roma tomato or a clove garlic. Those items are low cos and also show that you indeed visit he produce Dept!
I wish whoever makes the instructions would proofread and change the reimbursement to $10 rather than $9-which it has been for quite some time! Seems shoppers are held to high standards whereas simple errors on the part of the MSC remain! As the the associate in the meat, produce and deli area asking what you are making for dinner, where to find something- am I correct in my assumption that the M
I wonder if the fuel and pick up shops will be done anywhere. Seems we may have different schedulers. To be honest the fuel and pick ups were the best shops. The walking around stores and now having to get names or not be paid is not to my liking at all. I have had shops where associates wore no tags or tags were not visible so traveling to a store and then having shop rejected would be my last
I received an email from scheduler about Kroger drop tomorrow. No mention of pick up or fuel shops. One concerning bullet point was this:
Get all required associate names. It has become an issue with shoppers not getting names of associates and shops will be rejected in 2026 for this
So, if someone is not waring a name tag which Has been the case on past shops or if the name tag is unreada
Same here- I got $15 a year or so ago. Although not difficult still involve traveling there, hoping that whoever is going to help is not with a client and then coming home and doing the report. I just wonder if someone who is a newbie and needs cash took all the shops for $10?
Saw the H&R Block audit shops posted for $10 a few days ago. Was waiting to see if the fee rose. Today I looked and all of them are gone. Not sue someone snapped them all up- which is unlikely or if they pulled them off the site. Did anyone see any of them in your area?
Follow up to this message- After I was unable to get an answer to the seemingly contrary instructions I was waiting the 3 days which it said in the guidelines as the scheduler said to do that. Well, yesterday I got an email which said my reports were all OVERDUE and that the Guidelines were INCORRECT and that the report form detail that the follow up period of 1 day was correct. The guidelines ar
I have been with a certain MSC for over 15 years. The company does all financial shops- both in person and phone. Recently I had not received any shop invitations and wrote the scheduler. She informed me that I had been given assignments recently which I did not complete and that I never replied to email requests she had sent. Well,. I checked my email and there were no assignments or emails. I
I just did a phone shop. he date of the shop was 12-29. The form says MUST B E SUBMITED by 12-30 which is today. Yet the body of the form as well as guidelines say that you have to wait 3 business days to report on follow up. So, I wrote the scheduler and rather than reply was told to "follow the guidelines" I submitted the report with a note that I will report on any follow up which I doubt will
If the shops require names of Deli and Meat associates then it may be a hard pass for me. I am not going to waste my time taking a chance traveling to a store only to have shop rejected as I could not see the tag. I cannot see name tags when the associate is behind the meat or deli counter. On a recent shop, I literally went down on the floor and pretended to be tying my shoe to see if I could ge
Just checking boards for shops and do not see a lot if any. The ones posted are not worth doing. With all the job cuts, lay offs and AI cost savings I do believe mystery shopping will be on of the things companies cut. I notice surveys on receipts which I suspect companies are using instead of paying for shops. Sad but true
I had the same thing- kept writing me asking if I wanted to do the shop. I said yes. Nothing. Then wrote again asking when it would be assigned oh on isecreshop platform. Looked and nothing, More e mails asking my age and if I was an AARP member- then another email asking if I had done one of these previously. Finally assigned. Now I have asked to be unassigned. I can appreciate trying to get sh
I was doing bank shops but for some reason I have been banned or whatever as I get notices and am asked to apply then never hear a word- applications deleted. They paid reasonably well. I am not going to run myself ragged for these low fees. I assume all the lay offs, cut backs and moves to AI are affecting mystery shopping.
$15 to go to a mall and take a list of pictures and make a lot of observations? If questioned- say you ae doing an audit? Really? $15?? Go to a mattress tore be annoyed for up to an hour or more for $10??? Go to 5 Guys for a greasy heart attack burger for a starting fee of $9?// Honestly, I think mystery shopping is on its way out!
Just wrote and asked to be assigned. I indicated that I have applied many times never heard anything back and if for some reason I am not going to be offered jobs to please stop emailing me. I will see what happens.
I was contacted to do an AARP hearing aid phone shop. Scheduler said they are quick and easy. I agreed and now am looking at the shop form- not quick and not easy if you ask me. Also may require multiple calls if contact cannot be made on first try. Also screen shots of phone to show length of the call or calls. The section on the actual call has 40 questions. There are comments required for near
I keep receiving invitations to apply for account opening shops and other shops with a particular company. This has been ongoing for the past 5 months. In each case, I apply and my application is promptly deleted no explanation. I am to the point of replying and asking the sender to stop emailing me as it is obvious that they have no intention of assigning me anything. I believe the issue relates
