Creepy Stalker Shopper
That is the thing that gets me, how on earth does the mystery shopping company even know that they see the what's going on with it?
The first time I took a panorama of the whole case as I walked along it and said I was sending it to my friend because she loves X product. The second time I just asked the people to move and took a quick snap when the associate was on the opposite end - after I did everything else on the shop - and I don't intend on returning to that location, even if the associate did see and think something of it.
Yeah I just completed a Sbarro and I think I am done. The display case was not that difficult but the pik of the register was horrific. Really, how do they expect you to remain covert when you are standing there taking a picture of the register. Snapped the pik quickly when the associate finally left the register and it was a little blurry. Don't care.
I've done Sbarro. The one I did it was toughest for me to get the pizza case because there was always an associate close by. The register was frequently abandoned so that wasn't so bad. But I found it hard to take a decent register picture without being obvious.@teriraia wrote:

What's done is done. An egg cracked cannot be cured.
There are 3 kinds of lies. Lies, Damn lies, and statistics.

Oh, now they have you taking a photo of the register too? Before it was an overall shot from a distance and the display case. Yeah, taking one of the register area too is a bit awkward. Thanks for the warning.
I know a guy, not a MSer, who takes pics of weird people and other stuff surreptitiously by setting the delay to a couple of seconds. Then he holds his camera awkwardly, aimed at the target but not with his finger near the button, sort of stretching out his arm on the back of a chair if he can, then holds long enough for a photo. Or setting it on a table or counter.
Personally I buy a wallet-style case for my phones so I can record video without the live screen showing. If you hold it still enough, you can capture a still as a screen shot. I sometimes hold it up, facing forward, and sort of rest my chin on it "absentmindedly,' and hold still.

There's a sign at the register that they want you to take a picture of (if it's there). That's why there's a photo of the register required.@JASFLALMT wrote:

I hate it when MSCs add extra hoops to jump through but no extra pay.
I take the display case and register pictures after I'm done. Not perfect but at least they can't do anything about it. Oh an untouched food picture is also required.

As the email always says “the pizza’s on us”! I ignore it just based on that false statement
The untouched food photo was always a requirement, as was the overall photo and display case photo. Which was already a pain for the low payment anyway. I did a couple of them when I had something else to do in that mall last year, but that was when you could order anything you wanted. Now they add another photo to the mix and you have to order a specific item, too, but no extra payment?
I just always say something like, "OMG That's hilarious, wait..." and take a pic of whatever. I say this all the time, and it gets me over that awkward thing. I used to feel SO WEIRD doing it, now I pretend it's something my best friend is going to laugh at when I text it to her.
