Re: Help me interpret this Ipsos Email - 2 years ago

I heard on the grapevine that IPSOS are rebranding as simply POS to reflect their core values.

If you want to work in a rough hole on a trailer park get some tramp stamps is my advice.

I didn't, and I didn't get paid for a $100 shop after spending $75 to get there and back. And I didn't even get to see my grandson while was down there. It turned out to be a very bad day. Sounds like they pulled your pants down. I’ll get my coat!

Both lean on the more narrative side so expect to write longish reports with a lot of details. Coyle has ‘longish’ reports. The is the understatement of the year. If you do a Coyle report you might have to write in the region of 1he equivalent of 10 A4 pages unless you want them constant

Re: Who maintains this forum❓ - 3 years ago

They started the ads a few years ago. I’m sure they more than cover the running costs of the website. Regarding mods, a few years ago they had a nut case mod who revealed personal info about users of the website. I’m guessing Jacob is reluctant to trust anybody in the role these days. Also, most of the trouble stirrers who used to make this forum like a war-zone have given up the ghost.

Re: What Companies Offer a Referral Fee? - 4 years ago

Waste of time. Find half a dozen new shoppers (aka ‘fresh meat’) for a MSC and you might get enough cash to buy a sandwich.

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

Regarding fine dining establishments, the portion sizes are usually smallish so it would be hard to justify getting a doggie bag. If you want a doggy bag go to the Outback Steakhouse and fill up with the ‘free’ loaves of bread. Morally a lot of people don’t agree with unnecessary food waste. So, I’m sure even the super rich have been known to ask for a doggy bag even if it for their dog..

Re: "The Internet Divide" - 5 years ago

Too many people use most of their Internet time on Facebook, buying garbage from Amazon or watching adult oriented content. The authorities should limit Internet access so people are forced to read books or study.

Mystery Shopping Movie - 5 years ago

How would mystery shopping be portrayed in the movies? I believe it would be something like this. Title: Seven years a MF Slave. Storyline: Loosely based on the life of the shopper who was mysteriously murdered a few years ago. Actor: Tom Hanks with a scruffy beard like he had in Cast Away.

Re: What's your hourly rate doing assignments? - 5 years ago

@SoCalMama wrote: I only shop part time now. Currently, I make between $2,000-$3,000 a month, at most, shopping. I used to make over $50,000 every year when I shopped full time. I guess to get those kind of figures you need good relationships with certain schedulers and get jobs which aren’t necessarily available to the masses.

Re: What's your hourly rate doing assignments? - 5 years ago

There seems to one of these threads every couple of months. Anyway, I’ll bite. If someone gets $100 an hour for 8 hours a day five days a week, I’m impressed. That’s $200,000 a year (and a bunch of’free’ hambugers). Boasting about getting $100 an hour is pointless unless you indicate how many hours you actually work at that rate. In the real world the average mystery shopper gets paid le

I’m sure they will update the database with some kind of fee and / or reimbursement. I guess they have just dumped the assignments on the database in a provisional form.

Re: JM Ridgeway - Unfair Treatment - 5 years ago

Trouble is because of the nature of the business some schedulers develop a zero tolerance policy to people who cancel or flake. Some of these guys get burned every day.
