If I get this shop, will I be embarrassed?

When this place first opened in our town the nutjobs from a local church were picketing avidly. Turns out their minister was a sex addict putting on a good show but secretly visiting the shop at 3 am (it's a store that's open 24/7)
Just not a store that floats my boat.

I did one many years ago. I recall the survey question, "Were the floors or shelves sticky?"

The MSC has yet to assign these shops, I guess it's because of the holidays. Based on the above advice, I think if I get this I will definitely take the bus over to it, as the idea of having my license written down does not sit well with me.

I went to the online website for this chain and it turns out they actually stock some supplements I could use - I'm not talking for any sexual reasons whatsoever - they stock ashwaganda, which is an herb from India that helps one recover from burnout and one of the reasons I am shopping and starting up other online ventures is due to burnout after years of working in food and beverage. This herb helps with sleep and also helps normalize blood pressure and is an adaptogen - it helps the body adapt to dealing with stress. At any rate, this is something I would buy anyway so if I can get a reimbursement on that, I'd be totally thrilled! Seriously!
The store I shopped that time didn't carry things like supplements. The only consumable they had was anatomically-correct chocolates. However, at $9 each for a simple molded chocolate they can keep it.

Looks like much ado over nothing. I received the dreaded shop closed and given to another shopper email.....that's in a way too bad as I would have liked to have tried this shop out just to say I did it......
Nothing says you cannot walk through the store as a practice shop.

Loved doing this shop in my area! The store is female friendly so I doubt you'll be embarrassed!
if it is the chain of adult stores I am thinking of.... you will be fine. I would avoid going after dark, higher creep factor outside. Most of them are located of major interstate hwys. The store is seperated from the booths and private peep show stuff.
Me again...See Dec.31st comments. I just finished my "adult store" shop. Yes, I took a list of items from my friend who teaches Human Sexuality classes. The store building is new and lovely with plenty of windows front and back. I noticed you can park in back if you're shy. One female clerk was there and no other customers. I had a good conversation and I plan to do as many of their stores as possible. The report is simple and short. Now, hopefully I'll get paid and reimbursed!
I well recall going into the San Francisco Bookstore back a few years ago. I was hoping to purchase a copy Of I-Ching. What a shock. There were pictures of adult men in full erection on the wall and greeting cards of similar slant. I was not sure how to leave the store. Across the street was the bookstore I needed to visit and I mysteriously walked directly to the shelf with a copy of I-Ching. I don't know about other States but believe me the sex talks given in our local public schools to children are far more graphic than what is likely available in those adult novelty stores. All mysteries apparently are revealed in the 21st Century.

Just tell them it is for a football game. You are going to toss it around like a beach ball and ask if the teeth are a bit much?

Happily shopping Rhode Island and nearby Massachusetts and Connecticut
sex is okay.. we ALL understand
I have done a few of these type of shops and they are an eye full. You will need to go in with an open mind and be willing to be suprised by what you see. There is something for everyone out there. The establishment I went to, you had to be carded before going into the building.
What does it say that nothing surprised me?

I've done one of these shops and purchased some great candles. Granted, they are the type that can be poured on someone, but they are soy based and make the room smell nice.

Obviously. They have pornography on display. It's age restricted just like going into a bar.

There are reasons that a body stays in motion

Uh, unless you are in law enforcement and have a legit reason to "run" (look up) that plate number it doesn't make any difference, they won't know who you are based on your licence plate number.
I have family in law enforcement and they do NOT run plates for any non-official reason, ever.

Oh yes they did. A call was received by our county DMV office with the request to run a list of license plate numbers. One of them was mine. How I know this? Simple, my husband works for our county DMV office and a woman in his office received that phone call. Once she hung up she called over to him and asked why she just ran his wife's license plate.

I reviewed these shops in the current issue of Mystery Shopper Magazine: [www.mysteryshoppermagazine.com]
