This is true. Also what makes no sense to me is that like you said most of their FF's are two shops. But we have one here that is just walk in because it is inside Walmart. That one gets paid the same though as the shops doing drive thru and walk in.

Yea, that is why I consider it two shops for the price of one when it is a DT/WI combo. :-) I just say no.

I just got a FF for $25.00, plus reimbursement. I have to travel, but it is right on my way delivering a dog to his new furever home. Well worth it:-)

I think I only received $25 for a FF shop ONE time. It was soooo far out of my way that I really regretted taking it. I completely underestimated the distance when I signed up for it.

I guess I'm too much of a sucker after all. I take the $7.50 food shops in my very close area. But, I hold out for more on the ones a few miles away.

Just remember that Samantha is part of the Market Force system.

I would take these more often if I didn't have to eat the food. Good thing MFI doesn't pay well, so I can resist taking these shops. Too much of this food is NOT good for you.

I got one of these over the weekend, and that's actually how I wound up back in the mystery shop business after a 13-year hiatus. I signed up with MFI on a whim, probably a year ago, but was never tempted to take the shops because of low pay. It's still not stellar pay, but I figure since I'm really a newb all over again, if I take a few, and do a great job on them, then don't take any more for a while...maybe I'll start getting these bonus calls everyone talks about. smiling smiley

Samantha has emailed me twice, neither time did she offer a bonus.

So - there's a particular FF location near me, used to be shopped by MF, but not in the past year. I stopped in this morning to get a breakfast sandwich to go, requesting no cheese. Seemed to take a while, and I repeatedly looked at my watch, as I needed to get to my office. Paid for my order, and was leaving when I heard the cashier say "Has the mystery shopper been in yet"?

Twasn't me. If in fact, this location is still shopped, by whom? Or, maybe they just think they're still shopped smiling smiley

They even knew what DAY? I always get suspicious on those shops that you cannot change the date. Like a certain discount clothing store's clothes sizing counts.

I think they are shopped by a different company. In my area, all of this certain FF chain to the east of me is shopped by MF, but all of the same chain that is to the west of me is shopped by a different MSP. The reports are almost identical.
