Back at it after a few years

August 14, 2024 12:36AM
Hey all. So, I used to shop pretty heavily until a couple of years ago. I never stopped doing WAWA and Five Guys. I was very selective with what I looked at it. I went back and logged back in to all of the websites and had to update profiles. Did my first smartphone shop in awhile tonight... with these new photo requirements its like they want you to get caught. The same MSC has some pretty tough photo requirements for watch shops too. Fun stuff.

Any tips for getting back at it. Any new companies worth looking into. I had to clean out my list. I once had over 100. A few are gone.

Are you talking about the luxury watch shops? If so, those are pretty easy to get photos for the shops I've seen on each respective platform. If it's a photo where you have to take a picture of the watch, you don't have to do it in a discreet manner. You can ask the salesperson if you can take a picture of the watches on display and on your wrist. I will tell them something along the lines of, that the watches look different in person versus the website, and I would like to have a picture of the watch on my wrist as a point of reference.

I'm also back at it. I did this a lot pre-2020, but stopped with the pandemic / having two kids. I never stopped doing Kroger though - groceries are so expensive! I'm mostly looking for restaurant shops for subsidized date nights.

How funny, I'm also back at it after being gone for a few years. It sure seems like a lot has changed and the pandemic wiped some companies out.

Also, the Mystery Shopping Companies section has a list of surviving MSCs as well as which ones merged and morphed.
