Has anyone ever done the mystery shopping thing

[Nikk]

I always wanted to try it but never did.

I think there are some old threads about this, but to answer your question. Yes, I've done some

I've looked into it. Never did it though. Too many scams out there along this line and I had trouble finding anything legitimate.

I'd be interested if anyone has a good one in mind, but in this rural area my options are probably limited.

:shame: Please pardon my question but what's this mistery shopping thing?? Since there's the word shopping in it I might be interested LOL!

You're hired or contracted by a merchant or their agent to shop at their store and report/review/critique your experience. They supposedly use the reviews to adjust how they do business.

That's my understanding anyways. I guess there could be other definitions.

Yes only once..for Hermes and Louis Vuitton.

Yes, I have for a major grocery store. I got paid big bucks to do it too.
I was paid for 30-40 min worth of work 75.00. I also had to go to meetings and was paid over 500.00 to go to a 1 day meeting.

Thanks for explaining.

ooo Yes just the once! When I was going through university I worked for a jewelers and was asked by an executive of a diamond seller in Aus to mystery shop colored diamonds... It was actually fairly dry work and became repetitive after a while but still had an element of fun each time I walked into a different trader.

I also got hired for this job few times! it pays really well (i was suprised!) and it's quite funny
I actually got a different job for the same store (i was a temp through this one company) where i needed to hand customers these forms so they could write about their customer satisfaction. i talked to couple of those SAs there and they said that it was quite obvious almost every time when that mystery shopping person came there. I had no idea that they were told that there was going to be these mystery shoppers there.
