Shops where you shop

Many of us like to take assignments any place that we would go whether on assignment or not! If you have not been in the habit or requesting a receipt every time you shop such a place, now is the time to get into the habit so that you are not just getting a receipt when on assignment.
I would, of course, advise against ever doing a revealed shop i a small town; but, then, I'm the one that advises against all revealed shops!

Thanks maven. Is there a way to find out which company does shops at a specific grocery store? People aren't supposed to reveal which companies do which clients, right? I'd love to shop the Food **** grocery near me and have no idea how to find out how to do that.
I will know I'm a successful MS'er when I make enough to pay someone else to scrub my toilets.
No, we can't reveal client names along with the MSCs or vice versa. No all types of business or all brands of a particular type of business is shopped. You need to sign up with as many MSCs as possible and do the leg work. It is hard work at times but it pays off in the end. You are now running a small business.
I live in a smaller town. I have been mystery shopping for a few years. I mystery shop at a grocery store that I have been going to for many years before I did any mystery shopping. They just know me as a regular customer.
I can tell ya it does exist though and they are a top 10 on here. It is small pay and small reimbursement but if you're already there.. it's super easy to do.

Why wouldn't you shop where you normally shop. I've shopped Best buy forever, and now do their jobs. They have no way of knowing you shop. For instance the grocery stores I shop, I have shopped on my own for years before Msing. The employees get to know you as a regular customer who returns. Customers always go back to stores or restaurants they enjoy. Just keep acting like a customer......

For me it is not a question of whether I patronize the place on my own, it is if me being a regular will influence the way I'm treated. For some places it absolutely would. An exception was my car dealer for service shops. The client was interested in having regular customers too.

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It's a waste of your time and it really annoys the pig.

Back when I started I shopped at the Aldi where I do my 'big' shopping. It was too uncomfortable to ask associates I knew the required question and I decided to pass on that particular store.

Lisa I definitely see your point. At this particular place I am certainly recognized as a regular customer but I'm not friendly with anyone there (friendly above typical courtesy). I've never noticed them treating me differently, like giving me preferential treatment, so I'm thinking it should be ok to shop them.

In that situation I would probably complete a shop there. I tend to avoid the shops at places where employees know me by name and will stop what they are doing to chat.

Being a customer your just that, you don't have a personal relationship with the employee your evaluating, a curtious smile and what's on sale today is about it. The program I do wants the help to be more engaging with customers, and for me asking a quick question, example: Are the berries from CA is not time consuming. I couldn't really find work in a place I've never been...just saying....I've been around too long....
