The top shopper did 3900 shops….

The top earning shopper made $51k….

I wonder if they were the same person. Would be sad if they weren’t.

What got me was, "We gave back $7.3k to charitable organizations."

No doubt that was 50 cents at a time.

That part was funny. The entire Spotify-esque “year end review” is comical. Come up with original ideas.

Making it sound like they're so compassionate. *Barf* It's a tax break - pure business. And yeah, they do own the charity.

The top shopper with 3900 probably took them all at base (maybe in my neighborhood).

Top earner at 51k is probably the CEO who felt like eating a drive in burger and paid themself what they feel they're worth for that one job.

Total speculation on my part, of course. But it makes sense to me! All that hooey about how great they are. PUH-LEEZE!

My husband and I donated more than $7K to charity this year. I am flabbergasted that a company the size of IPSOS thought they should publish that number since its so small. Thats atrocious!

The $7k in donations is probably from mystery shoppers who accidentally said yes to cashiers at <Ipsos Chinese Restaurant> and had their shop rejected for it.

They could have paid that money out in executive bonuses; doing so would have the exact same tax benefit for the company.

The question to ask is why is a firm so well established in the marketing industry employing someone so stupid as to think that advertising the low level of their charitable givings was a prudent thing to do.

Could it be because it was only advertised to us, and we don't count?

There's no doubt in my mind that $7.3k was generated by the folks who fell for the "click here to take our brief survey, and we'll donate .50¢ to charity!"

If it's the same person, that's just over $13 a shop.

75 shops a week. 15 a day with a 5 day work week (and not likely an 8 hour day). Probably wore out at least one set of tires. Low quality of life there. Sad. I sure hope that they did phone shops and used a voice to text program.
