I was thinking about signing Bryan up so that we could do what you and Donny are doing. I’m going to check with him tonight to see if he will do it.

I saw that there was the possibility of it already being set up and still getting paid. If it is still listed tonight, I’m going to request the assignment. I need to hit the lego store at the shopping center anyway!

Sending an e-mail shortly.

When doing the evaluation, when in doubt, take pics of everything! You don’t want to get home later and figure out that you didn’t get the right/enough pics. Email me on FB w/ the details of what you have to do tomorrow. Maybe I can give you some tips.

The reveals are fun. I signed Donny up with Confero yesterday and applied for him to do a revealed shop at a movie theater Thurs. night. I did the same theater on Friday night and so I’m not eligible to shop there for another 180 days. Kali wants to see Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel and I figured he and Kali could go while Jack and I get some last minute presents wrapped. And they pay for it! They assigned it to him. Woohoo!

My Dad and I are putting together a standee at a theater tomorrow evening. They have it listed as difficult because of the size. The first time I signed up for one of those and saw the part about the ladder, I flipped. I’m scared of ladders. Turns out, they were already installed when I got there so I just had to take a pic and do the report. Still got paid too.

The fast-food shop where you have to do both drive-in AND walk-in. I was sure they knew who I was too. The place was amazingly spotless and customer service was incredible … which makes me want to just poke my head in there in about a week to see if they were expecting this But, hopefully, as I get used to this, the covert part won’t be as worrisome. I have a gas station evaluation tomorrow.

I’m hoping I get two “reveals” I requested. Assuming it’s successful, how great is it to be able to give people things?

I wanted to apply for a signage set-up, but it requires me to use a ladder and lift over my head. They allow a partner, but I wasn’t sure if I would get in trouble for being almost 8 months pregnant.

What did you do?

I was a mess during my first covert shop. I was sure as soon as I placed my order they knew who I was.

I did my first assignment this morning. Was nerve-wracking for some reason.

your blog was really insightful. i’m not sure what all you need, but if marketforce and CFA have assignments in my area i will apply with them.

A company that I have been doing mystery shopping for is called quest. The company website is questforthebest.com, they pay through paypal, i’m not sure what day since this is the first month i’ve done it, all of my assignments have been covert assignments.

Most of the assignments I’ve done in a 24 hr. store, I did after midnight. Working at that hour is almost a pleasure. Some restaurants specify a late dinner shop. Most restrict you from shopping during the last hour that they’re open.
