Re: PF Chang's - 6 months ago

There's a company that goes by 3 letters, which is the same as the 3 letters for a ligament in the knee, that's commonly injured. This injury is more common in girls and sports with a lot of twisting motion like basketball and soccer.

Re: Eye Exam shops - 6 months ago

@Morledzep if you're able to get a prescription, you could get a cheap pair through zenni (that's the company I used, but there are a lot of others). i think a lot of the US eye glasses stores are under a monopoly which is why everything is so expensive. I'll still keep my eyes open for a mystery shop for you but I wanted to add in another option which might also save you money!

Re: Needed: Reasons to get an oil change at a car dealer that's not the dealer for your car! - 3 years ago

Yes! This was my question! But it sounds like it's not a big issue or a mystery shopper giveaway if I show up with a Fort to a Honda dealer. Thank you everyone for your ideas @sestrahelena wrote: I may have misunderstood the original question but I read it as that the car brand is different from the dealership brand and OP needed reasons why they would be taking, for example, a Ford to a

Needed: Reasons to get an oil change at a car dealer that's not the dealer for your car! - 3 years ago

Hi everyone! I need your collective brain power for a reason to get an oil change at a dealer that's not the dealer for your specific car brand. Especially because the car dealer for my car is right down the road! I was thinking I could say something like, my coworkers friend recommended it but I feel like it's a weak excuse. Then again, if I save $75 who cares if it's a weak excuse, right?

Mystery shopping with a baby? Is it possible? - 4 years ago

Do any of you have advice on mystery shopping with a baby? Should I just hang up my mystery shopping hat and wait until my baby is a little older, or have you successfully completed shops with a little one? (Of course, I would email the scheduler first, but I'm just wondering if this is even a good idea!)

Re: Taxes - 5 years ago

Do you just give them a number for the amount you make each month? The tax prep location that I went to asked me to show receipts for everything and it just sounded a bit unreasonable to me (especially because I'm trying to hide that I'm a mystery shopper). @ceasesmith wrote: It's easy. Most shops require that you have w-2 income. I don't take my 1099s with me. I just tell them, "I'm se

Re: I need an online class to learn more about how to write narratives - 5 years ago

Mressler82 did a beautiful job, but you don't need a degree in English or creative writing to write mystery shopping reports. I read the blurb that you submitted to the company and as others have mentioned already, I can immediately see why it was unusable. 1) Learn homonyms. where vs. were, high vs. hi 2) Read free books from the library, maybe even one of those "how to write" books.

Re: Covid Vaccine Tier for Mystery Shopping in California? - 5 years ago

@Shop-et-al Serious question: On another thread you posted that there is no scientific basis for wearing masks. If that is your stance when scientists and physicians support wearing a mask, why is being at the top of the vaccine (which scientists created and physicians also support) distribution list so important to you?

Re: Payment for IPSOS Home Improvement Store Purchase and Return - 5 years ago

I dislike purchase and return shops. So, I will pick up the curbside shop and leave the purchase and return shop on the board. In the rural area where my parents live, the fee starts at $25, and I've seen it go up to $60. Even higher for more rural locations. @AMORASMOM wrote: Last year the shops included in store purchase and return , 50.00 payment. This year I have noticed curbside pick-up

Re: Approved HazMat shippers - 5 years ago

Lol that is a hard one. Perhaps you can say you've had a really bad experience with UPS and are refusing to use it for now. I know it feels like they'll know immediately that you are a shopper but just try to keep a straight face and maybe you'll be able to play it off!

Re: What is a 'fair' mileage (KM) rate to charge for a route of shops? - 5 years ago

The IRS reimburses $ .58 per mile (but maybe this is last years numbers), so I would AT LEAST start with that, otherwise you are losing money. And then I think some charge for the driving time too. Ultimately it is up to you to decide what to charge. There was a post a couple months back about this topic too and I think people listed some more numbers.

Re: Anyone speak Hindi?? - 5 years ago

I think what you're asking is how to say those words in Hindi, so that you know if the employees are on to you next time?

Re: Doctors office brochures - office did not allow visitors and now fee is $10 instead of bonused amount - 5 years ago

@jay225 Oh, I meant I got ahold of the office, but the contact would not call me back. Oddly enough, none of the office receptionists were able to help me out. And thank you for listening and responding. This company really is a great company, and I guess I was just frustrated because I could have used that money. I shouldn't have gotten grumpy so fast.

Re: Just did a dinner shop, probably will never do it again - 5 years ago

Very wealthy people don't bother bringing leftovers home. Probably something about having enough money to buy more fresh food later, but it's one of those "culture" things that you just don't do. @foodluvr wrote: I think I know which MSC it is by the guideline that doesn't let you take leftovers home and I don't understand that either.

Doctors office brochures - office did not allow visitors and now fee is $10 instead of bonused amount - 5 years ago

Hi everyone, I just had a question here regarding the doctors office brochures job. I picked one up with a bonus that I was happy with. I called the office 3 times (they didn't return my calls), I showed up (as per instructions), they turned me down, and I filled out the app via the mystery shop company's instructions. Today when I logged in, I noticed that the fee they approved was $10 instead o

I would like to edit this previous statement. I read through the shop instructions and you DO NOT need a photo.
