I'm going to disagree with your last comment. I'm an executive and shop very part time as a ways to supplement my kid's college funds. They are both Ivy League bound and the costs are staggering. If you want to DM me, happy to send you my LinkedIn Profile, where you'll have exactly zero questions if I make a lot of money. I generally find your argumentative style to be offputting, but calling people liars (while defending con artist Kayla, to boot) - seriously take that somewhere else.

You’re are absolutely right. Let her laugh.. you too! While she’s filming unsuspecting fast food workers and exploiting them on TikTok, I’ll be at work at my real job making 3x what she claims to make mystery shopping and conducting my fine dining and other upscale shops on the weekends. Kayla, if you’re reading, please post some upscale restaurant shops! I would love to see them!

Im all about entrepreneurship and anyone trying to make an honest dollar. Shes violating her IC Agreements. From what I have seen, she is not even following guidelines on the shops that I can tell are legitimate. Supporting her BS is what is shameful and disgusting to me. Tell me what part of what she is doing is thinking outside of the box.

Kayla is an influencer. She is an entertainer. That is her job. I realize people here do not understand the premise of what she does. As I repeatedly argued in the original thread, there are literally dozens upon dozens of people across social media who do exactly what she does. Search 'mystery shopper' on IG, YouTube, TikTok, etc., and you will see this for yourself. Nobody wants to call out those people. Instead, the fuddy-duddies here want to pile on this one woman. It is shameful and disgusting.
Social media influencers and entertainers extend to nearly every industry. It is not new and has been going on for years. Unless you pay for Kayla's course, you have no right to accuse her of taking advantage of anybody or committing fraud. You do not know exactly what she does and what people get out of it. Also, if new people were not treated like crap here, maybe they would not have to turn to Kayla and others like her.
I 100% stand by my support of Kayla and commend her for thinking outside the box.
Kayla is thinking outside the box because she is doing the marketing work for the MSCs. That is, recruiting shoppers. Even people who do not pay for her course, she is drumming up interest. The MSCs are getting free publicity. While you are not supposed to do this per the IC agreement, rules are only rules until they are not. I have no doubt every MSC is aware of what she does. Some may very well terminate their agreement with her. Others probably gladly take the free marketing, even if it violates the agreement. I don't know how many followers she has across her platforms, but my understanding is that she has a decent reach, especially to younger people. Those are exactly the people the MSCs want to reach. Kayla makes it seem exciting. She is over-the-top about it. One can watch her stuff and how she is playing things up, but she makes it fun. She's engaging.
You people take what she does too seriously. I'm sure she is here, laughing at you all. Because the more enraged people get, the more money you are helping to put in her pocket. That's the genius of it. Controversy sells.
Talk about passive-aggressive. Let people be. It isn't a big deal. It really isn't. And if you were making so much money, you would not be mystery shopping. So take that BS elsewhere.
