Reflectionsms ?

I found this one on Shadow Shopper. I was a little spooked because in it's user agreement it said you could be called to testify in court, if your report was used to terminate someone. I have never seen that before. I liked this one because it specializes in resturants and I am looking to do more of these. So does anybody have any experience with this one? Thanks in advance, always get great input from you guys!

More Discussions About Reflections MS (All Companies)

I have done a number of shops for Reflections and like them. Report form are reasonable and they pay like clockwork. However,they made some big changes about 6 or 7 months ago and I have not shopped with them since then. They started to use an independent scheduler and at the same time they cut the reimbursable amount for their dining shops. Their restaurant shops (here they have only a 24 hour diner) are reimbursement only, no fee. Previous reimbursable was $30, which I was OK with, although I usually spend a bit more. With the advent of the independent scheduler, they lowered the reimbursable amount to $25 (to pay for the independent scheduler?) which diminished its attractiveness to me, so I haven't accepted any shops since then. But they are a nice company and pay on time.

Which is amusing because my sense is that every one I have done over the years has been done with the same independent scheduler. The reimbursement amount did go down but for the two of us we never approached the max anyway, so they are still quite viable for us. I have liked the quality of appreciation expressed for well written shops.

REALLY! The same scheduler? I worked for them for about a year at $30 getting e-mails directly from Reflections when shops were posted. When I got my first e-mail from the independent scheduler, Jennifer, who used to be a main player at About Face before that, the reimbursement went down. I usually feed me and one of my sons - I eat a big meal, but my sons eat like hungry animals, you would think I never feed them. The only way I can get them to go to the all-night diner is if hey get shakes and appetizer, along with the big burger. And I'm a pretty good tipper if service is good. We usually went $36 with tip. At $30 I didn't mind, at $25 it seemed not worth it anymore.

Yup, Meghan Hardy has handled mine at least since 2009 and possibly earlier. She was (or is) with Summit. For the two of us with tip the total is generally in the $20-$23 category and we are not petite eaters. But we are unlikely to go with shakes and sometimes the cost dips below $20 when they decide to put on an unsolicited senior discount.

They have had Meghan and Kim here for as long as they have had shops here. But is Meghan still there? I heard she is now somewhere else.

OK, Kim was scheduling the shops when I worked for them. When the reimbursable went down, the new scheduler, Jennifer Barrick, who used to be with About Face, started scheduling for them. Now I don't get Reflections e-mails from anyone but Jennifer for Reflections.

Hmm. Never saw her name for anything here for that company. But, some of them here charge for parking. $7 in Waikiki. Combine that with the lowered reimbursement, and nope, SO not worth it, even though the report is super simple. It ends up a loss for so-so food.

Meghan Hardy was also with AboutFace back when Jennifer was still there.

I only do their breakfast, so 25.00 works just fine. The shops have been getting snapped up in my area. I think they changed schedulers, as I used to get emails, but no longer unless it's for a location I don't want.

Live consciously....

I thought so. And all now becomes clear to me with where I think she is. :-)
