starting my new "job" tomorrow

i applied to be a mystery shopper with about 10 companies so far and got 2 shops already

i get to report on the service at the post office
then
i got to mcds to get 2 burgers and report on the service

how much will they pay me to go to these 2 establishments.....24.50 plus reimburse everything they tell me to purchase

i use to do mystery shops about 6 years ago and made out pretty good...when i did atleast 1 or 2 shops a day i would rake in about 300 a month plus reimbursements...so i could look forward to about 500 a month total

Thank you for starting your journal Barabara. I can't wait to hear how your new job is like

 

[Denim Deb]

I've thought about looking into doing that, but I hate to shop. :/

 

[elijahboy]

i hate to shop also but only when im spending my own money

however when im spending someones money i will shop all day long

I've thought about looking into doing that, but I hate to shop. :/

 

[FarmerChick]

wow very cool


how did you find this mystery shopping company? I might look into it

 

[elijahboy]

i have 3 scheduled shops tomorrow

free food, test drive a car, and go to 2 gas station

payments for all 3 is 92.00...not too shabby and all are within 15 min of the house

karen there are so many companies that do it and they have ALL kinds of shops

just dont ever pay to SIGN UP to mystery shop

here is one for you to start with....marketforce.com

marketforce is a company that i worked with when i started and they helped to get my toes wet and understand the concept of mystery shopping..once you do like 2 shops maybe 3 you wont even need to take paperwork with you any longer..it makes your memory alot sharper by doing mystery shops because you have to remember small details.

but dont get like i got...when i was not on a mystery shop oh boy did i want to be because i wanted to complain about EVERYTHING because after doing mystery shopping you clearly understand what is allowed and what is not allowed by employees.
