So I did one of these shops today and was caught off guard by how they wanted a few prices for items that are behind the counter. The location was fairly small, so it didn't take long for one of the employees to figure out what I was doing and then ask me who I was working for. The guidelines didn't mention anything about this being covert or what to do if someone asked me what I was doing, so I went ahead and told him I was there to check on some prices. He did point out a few price tags for items behind the counter but otherwise left me alone as I finished my other work. I have one more of these scheduled at a different location and hope the MSC gets back to me with more guidelines. I figured in this case I had nothing to lose since I was already in the area and there was no purchase necessary. If I get the shop approved, then great. If not, then at least it gave me an idea of how these shops can work. But having the MSC call it "super easy" is a bit misleading either way.
