Re: Have you seen the mystery shopper that is all over social media posting her actual shops? - 11 months ago

I'm not singling her out, I just haven't seen any other MSing content on TikTok - which is saying something because I spend way too much time on that app.

Re: Have you seen the mystery shopper that is all over social media posting her actual shops? - 11 months ago

She's on social media making public posts, therefore they are open fodder for discussion. As far as I can tell no one is personally harassing her so there is no 'leaving alone' to be done. As for 'here we go again' I ran across her a few days ago and I was unaware of the previous discussion. If you don't want to discuss it just scroll on by. I will discuss because I feel like she is mis

Ohh, thanks for the link! It will be good reading on this cold afternoon! I dont know what's up with the search function.

I had no idea, I just ran across her accounts. I searched the forum for her name and only one comment in one thread comes up. *shrug*

Have you seen the mystery shopper that is all over social media posting her actual shops? - 11 months ago

Her handle is Kayla Laughs Out Loud and I first saw her on TikTok and later realized she is on all of the big social media platforms. She films all of her shops then posts them along with a discussion of the business passing or failing. It all seems way outside of the contract terms of confidentiality. Of course, she is monetizing her videos and selling her mystery shopping 'course' so maybe s

Re: Odd debit/cash shops - 1 year ago

So, I don't know what platform you are on but this is literally all it says in the job posting: Visit the assigned location and make two identical purchases, one with the required debit card and one with cash. Take a photo of the store exterior, door, counter/register area and item/menu pricing. Contact Mystery.Shoppin

You cant see the detailed instructions before accepting the shop. As such, I have not.

Re: Odd debit/cash shops - 1 year ago

I don't see that working so well at the Medispa where treatments are hundred of dollars and reimbursement is $16. LOL

Odd debit/cash shops - 1 year ago

There's quite a few of these available in my town but they are at weird locations. Examples: a medi-spa, nail salon, and a beauty shop. None of these offer items or services that come close to the reimbursement limit. How would that even work? I get a pedicure, pay for it, then say oh wait, I want another pedicure, here's my debit card? Or, get my 25 units of botox, then get more? Strange.

Re: BOARS HEAD - 1 year ago

Taking the picture at Publix would be such a pain, I'm not sure if I will do the shop. The times are 11 Am - 7Pm and the deli area will be packed during those times. Especially since chicken tendie Pub Subs are on sale this week.

Re: Required purchase over reimbursement - 2 years ago

This, 100% this! Since I have a 9-5 I used mystery shopping for pocket change and to supplement things I would do/buy anyway. I did a Harris Teeter shop this AM. I was going there anyway, I was buying meat anyway, so why not spend 15 minutes on a report to save $30 on my normal expenses? @mysterioso412 wrote: It's not Aldi.

Snapple retrievals - how much product are you finding? - 2 years ago

The Pacqui job wore out my Amex but yay sweet sweet travel rewards!. I'm thinking about doing some Snapple jobs but I really don't want to haul around 100+ bottles of Snapple per location Also, do you ever feel about about creating a route that leaves gaps for the MSC?

Re: Have any of you ever been exposed during the assignment? - 2 years ago

I know I've been ID'd at a gas station chain but no one has called me out. Buying a small amount of gas and a $2 drink and needing receipts for both is a dead giveaway. I am convinced that when I am in one particular small town they text each other and and send out the alert. We all play the game and everyone is happy. LOL Another gas station chain I shop a lot has added the requirement

Re: Movie Measure? Anyone do these? - 2 years ago

I'd take the lower pay if the trade off was watching the movie. I'd do them pretty often. But I'm not going through all that for $10.

Re: Movie Measure? Anyone do these? - 2 years ago

Good to know, thank you. The pay isn't worth it if you can't stay for the movie.

Re: One Chip Retrieval Shops...$$$$$$ - 2 years ago

Yikes, for the last 8 locations I did I should have taken the hourly rate. Each store had over 100 units of chips, mostly loose boxes. It took a long time at each store to get the products rounded up and do the checkout. Packing and reconciling took hours as well.

Re: One Chip Retrieval Shops...$$$$$$ - 2 years ago

What do you do if one store has so much product it has to be shipped in 2 boxes? One of my locations had 174!! Im not sure how to handle the packing slip.
