What to do when you get busted?

I did a shop yesterday and as I entered the job room, the employee looked at me and I looked back. Ruh Roh...Same gal that I mystery shopped at the same job, but in a neighboring town. I backed out of the room, She must have been filling in. I called the MS company, left a message, sent the scheduler an email last nite, and have heard nothing since then. Darn it all. It was a well paying job too!

Had to look that up:

RUH ROH means "Uh Oh, Scooby Doo style" So now you know - RUH ROH means "Uh Oh, Scooby Doo style" - don't thank us. YW! What does RUH ROH mean? RUH ROH is an acronym, abbreviation or slang word that is explained above where the RUH ROH definition is given.

I am now going to be struggling with this over an home improvement chain in my area. They have a pin on and want to test employees what the pin means. I asked once but have not since (I get the same employees as its a small chain). New report has if corporate catches you not asking on camera and you said you did, you get banned from shopping them.

I hate this as I do not want to lose the job but they will know I am one of the shoppers now.

What do each of you suppose is the assumed type to someone who is not a mystery shopper? Now that I am a mystery shopper I know there is no type but if I were to think about it years ago I would have thought it was someone maybe 25-60 who was trained specifically and did this as a full time or almost full time job and wore business or casual business attire while at it.

I was doing a comic book shop recently and after I asked the manager for two specific comic books, he asked if I was a mystery shopper, I gave him a puzzled look and asked, "What is that?". It worked because he backed away and looked embarrassed. Then he said, "Oh, ok. I guess you're not. You don't look like the type anyway." I tried hard not to laugh.

This is true and funny.
Some of the scenarios make you feel like a real idiot.

NO ONE other than the mystery shopper comes in on Tuesday night and asks for the 2 titles. Absolutely no one.
