@Lorri Kern KSS Too bad you'll have no chance of making it too far in the tournament, whereas Duke will.

The Apartment shop, and hearing the unusual plus too much information (TMI) when asking "THE question." - 4 years ago

In completing a recent apartment shop for an MSC that begins with an E and ends with an S, the leasing professional answered "THE question" that I absolute hating to ask the most in one of the most unusual ways- she answered it honestly, and unscripted (they are taught to answer it in a standard script). The leasing professional indicated that this particular apartment community has had its run-i

Re: Kern and Ipsos - 4 years ago

Wow, @Lorri Kern KSS is an UNC alum. No surprise. Makes me proud of identifying with another team down the road in Durham.

Re: So where are the stimulus checks ? - 4 years ago

I haven't received anything from the IRS as of yet. I was scheduled to receive it via direct deposit, of which the IRS confirmed the last four digits of my account on their "Get My Payment" option.

Re: Irene_LA - 4 years ago

Irene is a pretty cool person! I've had the pleasure of meeting her a few years ago in southern California at a Starbucks, and she is really good conversation.

Re: KSS... I just don't understand - 4 years ago

@Lorri Kern KSS Pffft! That's just the problem with you. You don't even bother to answer anyone at all when they try to reach you. And I'm not referring to an isolated incident either. You've had a consistent pattern where you make yourself "unavailable" for comment be it via DM, open forum reply, email, or direct phone call. I've had considerable issues with you that pale in comparison to the or

Re: Schedulers STOP with overnight texts - 5 years ago

@CanadaMommy You should put your phone on Do Not Disturb mode for all calls/texts, and only allow certain numbers to reach you in the event of an emergency.

Re: KSS... I just don't understand - 5 years ago

Untrue? Really? Its been well documented of my issues with Lorri Kern, of which she has acknowledged in open forum settings. What's even funnier of your statement is that even after my profound disagreements with her over several issues in past years, I even PM'd Lorri Kern my personal cell number to handle our differences via a respectable conversation. As of this date, Lorri has never made the

Re: Unrealistic Scenarios - 5 years ago

I actually had to obtain gas receipts at the counter for gas purchases that were under $0.20. It was in the client guidelines, which I thought was absurd. The looks I received from those employees. Wow.

Re: Confirm With US video MSC - 5 years ago

Looks as if Confirm With Us is now confirmed to be closed for business. Their CEO (Stephanie Couture), has decided to take the coward's way out by not responding to any emails, calls, or texts regarding payment that is owed.

Re: Who Is Kantar? - 5 years ago

How so that TNS was a good MSC? They had profitable shops when offered, and paid in a reasonable time frame. I never had issue with them when it came to getting paid.
by Eric in Tampa - Mystery Shopping Company Discussion

Re: Who Is Kantar? - 5 years ago

TNS was once a really fun MSC to work for until they got bought out by Kantar.

Re: KSS... I just don't understand - 5 years ago

Just to translate the corporate line that KSSPete said, KSS isn't going to answer your emails or phone calls no matter how hard you try. Its the way that Lorri Kern does business.

Re: COVID-19 Not Impacting Payment for ACE Mystery Shopping Shops - 5 years ago

i think that ACE is remarkably transparent. Julie is quite prompt in responding to inquiries and concerns. Same with Deva, even when she hasn't had her coffee on some days. Even ACE's editors give feedback.

Re: Anyone paid by Cirrus for February jobs? - 5 years ago

Why do some of you all work for an MSC that pays 4 months and beyond from the shop date?

Re: Zoom Platform and Mystery Shopping : Thoughts? - 5 years ago

I think that the Zoom platform is super easy to navigate, yet I'm quite surprised at the on-site clients that aren't ready to conduct Zoom calls when their higher ups dictate virtual tour mandates. I'm finding that most on-sites are requesting IOS alternatives (Facetime), and even Google chat.

Re: JM Ridgeway - Unfair Treatment - 5 years ago

My experiences with JM Ridgeway have been fair over the last 12 years. Nikki can be hot or cold on some days, yet I find her to be both very responsive and effective in how she does her job. Frank is just weird. I don't know what else to say. I'd rather reason with an angry Nikki operating on no coffee and in the middle of an SEC football game than deal with Frank.

Re: Restaurant Shops - 5 years ago

I imagine that @Lorri Kern KSS's client would pay $5 and have up to a $30 reimbursement, payable in 90 days. That'll be a hard pass. Thanks, but I'm noping out on this. Nope, nope, nope!

Re: Weird and/or Crazy shops - 5 years ago

The weirdest one was shopping a new homes agent on one day, only to shop her partner the very next day (the desks were next to each other, yet in a cubicle). For the second one, I had to dress differently and use a heavy accent just to ensure that the first agent wouldn't recognize my voice (and appearance if she ever saw me). I would up doing this same type of scenario a couple years later fo

Re: Why do people eat at Sonic? - 5 years ago

I usually eat some of the hot dogs that Sonic offers, yet have always felt slightly compelled to tip the employee (I usually don't). For the most part, their bathrooms are cleaner than most of the restrooms at other fast food venues + gas stations should I be on a shopping break.

Re: What are you having for dinner? AGAIN! - 5 years ago

Tonight, I'll be grilling steak, and drinking alcohol that I've stockpiled over the last 2 years with an MSC that did St. Patrick's Day shops (oh, that was so good). I honestly have about 15 more bottles of Jameson to drink, and other comparable brands).
