How often do you guys/girls give 100% rating?

Also, are most mystery shoppers female?

Awww congrats! Hope you manage to pip the other 450,000 shoppers to the post and pick up the jobs you want!

I keep seeing a fashion retail store in my area that I'm not particularly bothered about doing as it's only a reimbursement with no fee - but they're constantly emailing round trying to get people to pick it up. It's a real "fashion" type store whose clothes I just find way over priced so I'm not going to buy some clothing just for the hell of it.

The more I see it available though... the more I have the urge to accept it. I must refrain!

...and then there are all of the children, infirm and elderly who are employed by the active shoppers to sit refreshing their computer screens all day everyday:D

Their homepage states: You may or may not know that Retail Eyes now has over 450,000 active shoppers:eek:

Somehow I doubt it. That is a rediculous number. Most people I speak to don't even know what a mystery shopper is unless they work in a shop or restaurant themselves.

Take out the 25% of the 60 million who are under 16. Then take out all those infirm, in hospital and in prison. Take out all those in remote areas and that figure represents 2 in every 100 active adults are mystery shoppers for Retail Eyes.

Almost unbelieveable.

Ah yes, but you forgot to include the 2 million illegal immigrants. They qualify as being included in the number.
