    my hubby works for a well known mobile phone retailer ;) and yes each store knows they are going to be mystery shopped once a month but dont know what day / date

    like others have said above it is sometimes easy to spot who they are with their mannerisms / the specific Qs they ask etc

    often they do a circuit of shops and so one store will tip off another to tell them he / she is on the way lol

    I mainly do mobile phone shops and it always gives it away when I have finished and have to photograph the outside of the place! Mystery shopping is great for a housewife like me, I make quite a bit of extra cash for the family and have fun doing it.

    wasn't pizza hut by any chance was it?

    i used to work there, we had 1, sometimes 2 'mystery shoppers' every 4 weeks. we could usually tell by the things they order, questions they ask, they always ask for a receipt and it tends to be someone on their own. didn't know the exact day they were coming in though
