"Let them eat steak!"

With low unemployment overall in the US (except for some specific desk careers), MSCs are giving out bonuses for shoppers. I was just incentivized to take another TRH shop within a week at the same location because they can't find enough shoppers. Meanwhile the markets just peaked on Friday with reports of...

New restaurants-Longhorn and Darden shops this upcoming weekend

First time I have ever seen Longhorn steakhouse; it's on the knee ligament MSC. Two person shop, one person has to get steak. Looks fairly easy, but a ton of timestamps required, ie. what time did you arrive, what time was your table ready, etc. I remember Darden around Christmas... Continue Reading

Texas Roadhouse – A Perfect Blend of Flavor and Hospitality

Texas Roadhouse is a popular American steakhouse chain known for its mouthwatering hand-cut steaks, freshly baked bread, and legendary Texas hospitality. Founded in 1993, the restaurant has become a favorite spot for families, friends, and food lovers who crave a lively dining experience. With a warm Western-themed atmosphere, Texas Roadhouse...

There are some MSCs having difficulty getting shoppers

Once again, patience is rewarded. Another steak shop assigned with a small bonus within a very short window from the last time shopped.... Continue Reading

Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers shops

Anyone else out there doing these? I'm not a big fan of the software the shops are loaded on. I'm glad the supreme court justice took over the other MSC. I just wish they would move the shops over to Sassie instead. Does anyone know if there is... Continue Reading

Steak! it's what's for dinner...

Seems like there may be more shoppers on summer vacation. There appear to be more Texas steak shops available this time of year. The frequency limits have been reduced as well. I guess I'll select a higher quality steak such as the filet medallions to go with a good craft beer... Continue Reading

What are you grateful for...?

I'm grateful for reduced spending with mystery shopping. I just bagged another steak shop with small fee and no time limit between shops; must be because families are on vacation. I'm grateful for a wonderful spouse. Still to this day, the kindest person I've ever met. I'm grateful for being raised by... Continue Reading

Texas Roadhouse #1 - Replaces Olive Garden

Outback Steakhouse anymore?

Hi, not asking which company, but just asking if Outback still needs shoppers. I haven't seen any Outback shops in 2 months.... Continue Reading

Where did the Australian steak house go?

I've searched all of the companies I'm signed up for and can't find it. Any hints?... Continue Reading

Highest number of shops you've done in a day, a week, a month? in person, not online or by phone

This is purely a polling question out of curiosity. Me? I am surely on the low end of the group here. A day? I once did 8 gas stations in one day. They were all close together on one highway in Florida. A week? A couple years ago, we were driving through Florida... Continue Reading

Outback Steakhouse - so long coming in under reimbursement!

I just learned we're no longer allowed to use any rewards, freebies, coupons, or discounts - including the 10% AARP - on an Outback shop. Hell, that was how I tried to offset that mandatory 20% tip. Hard to believe they'll allow a free dessert on the birthday scenario.... Continue Reading

Do Outback Steakhouses fall off with no penalty?

Does anybody know if Outback Steakhouse shops fall off automatically without penalty (ala “I Shop First”) if left on your list? I really screwed the pooch today, and I’m trying to figure out the best course of action.... Continue Reading

Outback Lunch

Hi! I’ve only done the regular dinner and birthday shops for them, but now lunch is showing up as being available this week. Does anyone know if the guidelines are the same? I’m not sure about eating steak that early in the day. Thanks for your input!... Continue Reading

Brazilian Steak Chain

I don’t know what the MSC is - forgot as the client isn’t near me - but you should definitely go to the Brazilian Steak chain when it pops up. Really good food. Salad bar was only $20 and had a ton of high end items with a ton of... Continue Reading

Coyle - entree requirement for a la carte restaurant

I'm wondering what people have experienced when ordering entrees at a restaurant where everything is a la carte. Is it acceptable to order a side or is it expected that proteins will be eaten solo? I have not yet done a steakhouse for Coyle but I have for another MSC.... Continue Reading

Business is booming at Texas Roadhouse

I love Roadhouse, but the only way an average check there is $22 is if you order chicken crispers off the early dine menu and drink water. That statistic came from a competitor's report (Cheesecake Factory), so I'd say somebody fed them misleading intel. Didn't we have a thread not... Continue Reading

RBG Payment Weirdness

Been doing stuff for this company for ages, going back to the days of the monthly thrift store audits. There's never been an issue with regular payments until now. They have a new credit union client. The introductory round of shops are super easy and pay $25 for maybe... Continue Reading
