I was asked this at checkout.

Grabbed a sanny at Jersey Mike's while out on a recent gas loop.

Both line employees were unusually chatty. Second one asked what I was doing, and I said "working".

He asked what I did and I gave him the "...but I'd have to kill you" bit.

Then I said I was a mystery shopper, but not to worry, I wasn't shopping them.

"Or am I???"

Have synthesizers, will travel...

My waxologist at European Wax Center knows what I do for a living, and I've been going to see her for a long time. Even after all these years, she STILL thinks I'm there mystery shopping her. -lol-

P.S. All in good fun!

Was doing a grocery MS and the scenario called for self-checkout. This location schedules several different MSers to go in each week. The self-checkout gal comes over and whispers to me, "My manager (pushing her head over to the customer service area) thinks you're our mystery shopper" in a low tone. I gave her a befuddled look, furrowed my brow and said, "Mystery shopper? What's that?" with a puzzled look on my face. She began to look frustrated and said, "You know, the person who comes in and secretly evaluates us". I asked, "Can you get paid for doing something like that? Would I just come in with a clip board and check stuff off?" She got frustrated after that, but didn't say anything more, nor did I. Funny thing, tho................next time I shopped that location, and every other time since...she's no longer there! I don't know what happened to her, or if she told her manager about our conversation and got canned....I just don't know.

OMG did I win a prize? I'm the mystery winner?

Evaluating and mailing packages since 1994. I am an undercover connoisseur of customer service, a master of disguise in the aisles, and a sworn enemy of subpar experiences. I blend in, observe, and report—because excellence should never be a mystery.

My son had a server look at him and boldly ask, "So is it fun being a mystery shopper?" Then at the end of the meal he brought two receipts and said, "I printed an extra...in case you need it for your 'job'." Obviously my son won't go back there again. Seems to me the server and restaurant shot themselves in the foot. It makes no sense.

Does the waxing place get shopped? Asking for a friend.

Are we on some kind of hidden camera show? Will we be getting any money for this?

I asked for a discount. The MSC for the thrift store has specific language that I followed.
