Busy Doing Mystery Shops!

August 12th, 2009 at 08:52 pm

Over the weekend, I did another Cheesecake Factory mystery shop. I wasn't as impressed by the service at this location as I have been at the other three that I've done.

Tonight I completed an assignment at Texas Roadhouse.

Tomorrow I have 2 to complete...one at a local hardware store plus a Rita's Italian Ice.

Nothing is scheduled yet for Friday, but Saturday I have an Orange Julius assignment scheduled.

So, I'll be quite busy mystery shopping the next couple of days!

Sounds like a very diet-unfriendly job! Really, though, how did you come across this? I've seen postings sometimes, but I always figured they wouldn't be enough to bother with - like maybe just one a month or something. Sounds like they keep you busy. Or is it different companies that you work through?

Lizajane-I do assignments for many different mystery shopping companies. You can see MS company listings/links at volition.com. I hope this helps you!
