  • Well that was funny. Went to fast food restaurant for lunch - hubby went in first and I followed a few minutes later - so I could be 'alone'. He said that as soon as I walked in, the duty manager ran round the rest of the staff and told them the Mystery Shopper was in.

    Obviously the service I received was amazing - hubby couldn't believe his eyes!! They brought out that many balloons for the kids, I thought the lady was going to float off with them! :D

    I've done a couple of shops where I knew they knew who I was, they couldn't do enough for me and ticked every single box ;) I don't understand why head office tip them off though, defeats the object of having mystery shoppers go in.

    How annoying that I can't apply for more assignments with AA until I add a recent full length picture! I haven't really got any that I would share with a mystery shopping company!

    I think they must have a screen freeze of me or something - as they recognised me straight away.

    When I did my first one I practiced at home, once you have followed the instructions once they are pretty easy.

    I never saw any of these jobs, perhaps there aren't any in my areas. Sound like a bit of a change so would have quite fancied one or two.

    I take it you sit alone too ?
  • Yes, I sat alone. Watched hubby laugh as they started the 'parade'. Manager clearing tables, cleaner with 10,000 balloons, cleaner asking if meal was ok (but not asking anyone else)... etc etc - you know how it goes! :)
