This is just a footnote. I ask some of the more experienced people of this forum an open and honest question about mystery shopping and I just get shouted down just for asking it. I am starting to get the impression that some of these people are no help at all.

goosechicken,
You were given thoughtful advice to the effect that you should read te "new shoppers" area and read about individual companies and their reputations as you use the official list of MS companies, below, to sign up. This is not a "quick start" business. Also, "one size doesn NOT fit all;" get 25 top shoppers together and you will get 25 very, very different opinions on what they think are the best companies for them. In addition, 5-10 of my best companies may not even have any shops whatsoever in your town or region.

If you had taken the time to read a bit on the "new shoppers" area, you would have found these things out within about 10 minutes. Please respect the contributors to these forums and its originator, and use some of the free resources here to educate yourself some more. Then you will have had many of your questions answered, with minor work.

Yes you asked a question and AustinMom gave you the answer. It was when that answer was not good enough that things changed. There is a little more to this business and this forum than registering and immediately posting "which companies are the best of the best." If you are just beginning this business it is unlikely you would even be qualified to complete many of the more technical, higher-paying shops. An appropriate question that could be answered easily, "Which companies are good for new shoppers?"

People, do not ask these "experienced" and seasoned shoppers anything. They are mean, rotten women that will blast and curse you at every turn.

Actually, you should listen to yourself before you judge others. The seasoned shoppers here, (Both men and women), are a helpful resource. Try removing the chip from your shoulder before posting...

Goose, this hasn't been easy for anyone but that doesn't mean there isn't something useful you can take away from this. Disappointments often become our most valuable lessons. You can choose your behavior, and the choice you make will make a difference in your health and your general outlook. Your posts suggest you believe you are dealing with mostly older people. I don't know if that's correct, but I do know that older people have a solid core of self-worth that's hard to crack. As you age, and you will, you'll understand this. You'll also learn, if you don't already know it, that not much can be done to change any of us of any age. We find our happiness with ourselves as we are and with others as they are.
