Hello,
I have tried Mystery Shopping a few years ago and was working but hey a Free oil change, just doing something a little different was interesting and to make some money too. Well, I did a few and then became ill. So for the past 7 years I have been in several battles. It just looks like full-time work is over for me. I have changed. Mystery Shopping though can take a lot of time with filling the questionnaires out and having to Use Quotes and Verbatim. I can understand, but it can be so much to remember for a chemo brain. I feel like I make a dollar an hour by the time I read everything. OK maybe this is not the spot to type all of this but I need help from a nice forum. Sure hope this keeps from the nut house or quitting!
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum! I think you will find there are a number of mystery shoppers in somewhat similar circumstances, but the great thing about this is that it is here when we are able.

Welcome! My sister only started shopping after she had "chemo brain," so I know that it can be done. Taking notes on a memo app on a smart phone and other aids goes a long, long way toward filling the gaps. Many, many active shoppers have one or another medical conditions that have changed our ways of working over the years. You are among friends here.

Welcome to the forum! I found mystery shopping several years ago after I had to give up my profession due to medical issues. It can be done, but you do have to work at your body's new pace (which is something I still find difficult). Taking notes helps a lot, and some shoppers use voice recorders to help catch all of the important details.

Hello there. Do what you can and don't get discouraged. As Wales said, you are truly among friends. Many of us have disabilities and have developed workarounds to keep going. Let us know if we can help.
