Mystery shopper

[PatriciaH]

Anyone ever done this sort of job? Ive just applied by e mail for one !

Is this something that appeals to you?

[hau kola]

Yes, i quite fancy this kind of job,i`m fed up with mine.

I like shopping so id say yes ... i already work (special needs school run ) but need something inbetween and i think it would be interesting

[emilia-faye]

you have to walk around the shop with a basket, do some shopping, count how many times the phone rings before someone answers it, check to see if staff are wearing their name badges, ask where something is in the store and see if you are taken to the object or just told where it is, buy something then take it back and complain to see if you get a refund....... the list is endless and to me is snooping on the staff!!!

It can't be easy money or we'd all be doing it. How do they pay?

[rcl1]

actually it is easy money. I used to work in a night club and we had a mystery shopper visit us once a month. They get paid to go into clubs and have a couple of drinks, and mark the premises on different categories ie service, decor, atmosphere etc.

Post offfice, shops and banks use mystery shoppers aswell.

Sounds interesting..where did you find the info about it? wouldnt mind having a go at that myself

I was accepted by one of these agencies,got hardly any work, and they pay peanuts,u have to pay up front and claim it back, do a report and get the pricely sum of �3.00 for doing it,thinking of the travel costs i would probably end up out of pocket!!!
