Hello from an old shopper

Hi all,

My status might be Newbie, but I've been mystery shopping since 1991. I was on another forum for a while, but hardly anyone posts there anymore. So here I am!

NOTE: I'm not on the forum every day. If someone comments on my post, I might not reply right away. I've been a shopper since 1991. I've never done any work for a MS company in any other capacity.

Wow! So were you sending them via fax and snail mail back then? I didn't get on the 'Net until '93 or '94. Impressive that you've stayed with it all these years.
Hi everyone!

I'm also a veteran shopper and this month marks my 12th year in the mystery shopping business (yay!).

I came across this forum last month when I was googling a certain MS company and have been lurking ever since. So far I've enjoyed reading all your posts and some of them have even made me LOL a few times.

It's so refreshing to be able to freely express our thoughts here, unlike that other forum where I had to constantly censor myself for fear of getting that dreaded nasty email from the V-God, as you guys like to call him, lol.

I still check in to the other forum occasionally but it looks like I'll be spending more time here smiling smiley
Welcome! Looking forward to hearing from you.
Glad to have you!

Hi, I am also a long time shopper, probably 15+ yrs. Still interested in pointers from others. I am in Alabama. I have mostly done very small paying jobs, like video shops ,service station shops etc. I like doing Theater checks and restaurant shops. I just recently did a bank shop which was in the higher paying bracket. Anyone else in Alabama? Would like to hear from anyone else tho.

Hello, I have just been a recent lurker here myself. I am going on 4 yrs as a shopper in Southern CA. One thing about this industry is that there is always something new to learn or experience to offer other shoppers. I agree with Cettie, that it does get in your blood after awhile.
can anyone help me im very interested in being a secret shoper but have no idea how to go about it. is there a reprasentative somewhere?
