@SoCalMama An editor gave me a 1 on the Sassie side once. It was for one of the web payment shops. Originally the guidelines/comments said to order via the Chrome browser. At some point, they changed it to Firefox browser without notifying me. The shop got rejected. Fortunately, the editor rejected the shop a few hours after I submitted the report and I was able to cancel the online order.
@guysmom This was a shop for the Shopmetrics side. It was scored out of 5. It's scored out of 10 on the Sassie/GFK side.
Plenty of other MSC's that use shopmetrics give a shopper grade. I was surprised that I got an email from an Ipsos shopmetrics editor who sent me a 5/5 shop score. It also showed me my average shopper grade out of 5 and a percentage.
I only do them when they're heavily bonused. Two different MSC's handle this client (same guidelines/report). One MSC will automatically issue a refund/pay fees if the location refuses to give a full refund. The other MSC can be a pain to get it. You have to contact the scheduler to get it added to your payment.
I would say 50% of the location will only refund you the money transferred and won
I never realized that Ipsos gave a shop score. First time I've gotten an email with a shop score and my total shopper grade from an Ipsos editor. They score out of 5 points. I've done 100+ shops with Ipsos (shopmetrics side) and never got an email from the editor with my shop score.
It depends. If I average out all my shops, I'm around the $30-40/hr range. When I do alcohol/tobacco compliance, it can be as high as $100/hour+. I don't mind taking some of the lower-paying or reimbursement only dining/retail shops if I like the food/products, the report is easy, and it's on the way to work/home/mystery shop route.
You're welcome. I never expected this thread to get so heated and interesting lol.

OP, your thread and responses are cracking me up and I truly thank you for posting.
My mother was set up on a blind date with my dad. The person, who did the matchmaking asked her specifically if she would go on a date with a guy who was bald. Her response was if he's a decent guy, why no
Honestly, if you're in need of prescription sunglasses, just buy it with your own money at Warby Parker or Costco. It'll still be cheaper than what you buy for the shop after reimbursement/fee.
@sandyf The client's name was listed on the google form link where you're supposed to enter the shop report. I gave a huge hint who the client is. Google glasses monopoly and you'll know who the client is. 80% of the brands shopped are owned by the client. The rest are competitors. They dominate the eyewear industry. Just about any brand of glasses is owned by them. They give you a separate googl
All the brands that this monopoly company owns are significantly overpriced. They just about own every brand of glasses, vision insurance, and optical stores. I highly recommend Warby Parker if anyone is looking for a reasonably priced prescription sunglasses. $175 (tax and shipping included) for a pair. Their customer service is great and the quality of their glasses is good. If you purchase it
I just heard back from the scheduler. A prescription for near sightedness or far sightedness is required. You have to buy prescription sunglasses.
Told the scheduler to cancel it. The reimbursement is way too low for prescription sunglasses. You're essentially getting paid to get a little discount on their overpriced sunglasses.
I applied for one and got accepted. It's for the huge Italian/French eyeglasses monopoly company. There's a total of 17 different brands. Each shopper is assigned to different brands. You fill out a survey for each different brand you're assigned to. Most of the brands are owned by the monopoly company. A few of them are their competitors. The instructions and survey were clearly translated from
I would say they're a slightly higher quality version of an In-N-Out burger, which makes sense since they're considered fast-casual, not fast food. Five Guys and Shake Shack are good but the price is a lot higher. Habit is a good balance between price and quality. Their fries are a lot better than 5 Guy's sad soft fries. I don't get why people like 5G's "boardwalk fries."

It looks like Certified See costs $10.99 each year. I'd probably go with EIN. That's free to get. DSG Associates is saying that it'll give you priority scheduling. All their shops in my area are self-assign so I don't see the purpose of "priority scheduling."
