What Company Shops for Big Lots, Whole Foods?

Does anyone know the companies if any that shops for Whole Foods and Big Lots. Because at Big Lots where I live, the customer service SUCKS! And I want to help them.

Also if any one knows of more mystery shop companies let me know. I mean I've signed up with 20, but I want more. My favorites right now are Market Force, Certified Field Associate, BARE, KSS, and NSS.

I believe Whole Foods is currently shopped. Big Lots used to be shopped but I haven't seen shops for them in several years.

Because of our Independent Contractor Agreements we are not allowed, by any company that I am aware of, to disclose who their clients are, so the question of "Who shops XYZ" is moot.

As for other companies, see the first post of the first thread in the Mystery Shopping Company Discussion section of the forum for a list of around 200 companies you can sign up with.

Whole Foods is shopped by more than one company.

Certified Field Associates? Really? You must like working for free! The only time I take their shops is when they are desperate and punch up the payment... which is rare. Try CRI, some hate them but the Mickie D shops are decent and straight forward.

yoyo,
You might want to edit out the client name. We don't need the ICA police worrying about this forum.

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.

Ok thanks everybody for responding. Not sure if I can edit the names out now. But I am aware for next time.
And no I don't work for free with them. The jobs are pretty easy and I get my money. "To each his own."

jhoodie413, you don't need to worry about editing them. The 'standard' is that either the company OR the client can be named in a thread but not both. So we can talk about companies as long as their clients are not mentioned or talk about clients as long as the shopping companies that do them are not mentioned. Obviously since you are mentioning the companies you are signed up with (and are not seeing the clients you seek) there is no harm/no foul there

But if you ask "Who shops ABC?" and I tell you "They are shopped by XYZ" I am the one who violated my ICA.

Well can I ask which company shops more grocery stores besides MF?

That gets a little touchy because several clients have been named and I, for one, am not positive that the companies I know of who do groceries do not shop some of these named clients in different markets. Because of the number of small, medium and large grocery chains in the country, the chances that the companies who do groceries in my market also do ones in yours are slim.

Would you have given this information out like this if that money tree was in your state? Just curious.
