I believe I would make an excellent secret shopper because for the first 8 years of my working years, I was in retail, and for the last 13 years, I have worked in the fine-dining restaurant industry. I know what to look for in both environments. I am familiar with the ‘lingo’ and what is expected of secret shoppers. And lastly, I am punctual and precise.

I want to be a secret shopper!

I would really enjoy being a secret shopper. The name alone sounds so “Alias”. I have worked in both retail/customer service and restaurant/hospitality. And, I am a customer/consumer. I’m up for the challenge and any adventure that may come with it. Thanks!
January 24th, 2008 at 5:53 pm
over 20 years in the retail industry…..I’ve witnessed the changes, the demands and expectations required of everyone from the student part-timer to the career-driven manager. I’ve been at both ends and regardless of the actual business some standards have never changed and at this point it would be a nice change of pace to actually be able to go out and experience the industry from the opposite end and actually have a hand in making a difference where some of those standards may be lacking. It’s a customer service driven world and I believe I have the experience required to know when THAT experience is not being met. Thanks…..good luck to all
January 24th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
I will be a good secret shopper because…I’m an avid shopper! I have shopped at many stores in all sorts of areas - rural and urban and I KNOW what is good service and what is just superficial or worse - bad service.
January 24th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
I would love to win this. I have always wanted to be a secret shopper as I am always wanting to tell the company how they are doing with their stores. This would be perfect because you can make your own schedule. Thanks for the great opportunity!
January 25th, 2008 at 12:00 am
I have heard so many things about secret shoppers, but never knew how to get started. I think it would be interesting and fun as well as a good way to give stores that I frequent feedback on their products and service. It might also expose me to new stores that I wouldn’t have tried otherwise. I’m a great demographic as I’m the number 1 shopper for my household as well as being a young mom.

I am very educated in this topic because I have been “shopped” and reviewed by secret shoppers and have read their feedback and answer what needs to be reported, such as “did you get a welcome or asked if you needed help, or is there something I can help you with”. Not only are the secret shoppers supposed to “pass” as a typical shopper, few actually do and a good secret shopper needs to know mainly how to shop like a pro and also know what a salesperson is expected to do to every time , like greet, be friendly, wearing the right code of dress that a store requires. Wearing ID pin on corrrctly, How the salesperson additude is towards you, the customer, noticing if you are completed ignored or if the salesperson is on the phone during your sale, grooming and self presentation and tone of speech is also watched. Usually a good secret shopper is a person who is passionate about shopping and by live eperience can tell if this sale person is just passing time behind the counter and really doesn’t want to be there,doesn’t care anout making sales, summing up if salesperson is a asset or a liability.
A secret shopper usually is asked to shop certain flagged salespeople who might be already close to losing their job and in some rare cases a job on the line can actually be save if a secret shopper feels and reportts a favorable reviewe. Another reason secret shoppers are hired is to answer security issues. Is the salesperon correctly entering the sale or in a cash sale, “forgeting to give you a receipt, because the sale was cash and it is this can be a temptation to maany salespeople espeially if the employee is dealing with large amouns of cash for the first time.I would make a report honestly without predijuce racial or any kind and only report what actually occurerd, not to fabricate a story so I look like a hero to the store> People are human ans it is possible that management is not doing there job honestly either. Managers are “shopped” also in some cases as well. This is a job as fun as it sounds that really is very important to the future reptuatiobn of the sore and iy needsw to be taken seriously because like any job a shopper is not there to shop but to be mature, experienced in sales and to be respectful to the sales asociate the same way tghe customer epects to be in order to get the most reliable report, and like a judge be impartial and nfair.aAddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddin

Hello,
I would be perfect as a secret shopper for retail stores, because first of all I work at a clothing store which I really do not enjoy and I am looking for a new job ASAP, second because I know exactly what the employees are suposed to do once I have entered the store therefore I will know whether they are doing their job or not and third because EVERYTIME I go shopping I notice people not doing their job or being disrespectful and it upsets me. This way if I become a secret shopper I would love to tell someone what they are doing wrong because it makes me so mad that no one gets the point of what is going on.
Thank you for your time.

I do lots of shopping for my family and myself, and being a customer I have observed and experienced lots of wonderful and satisfying shopping experienced. I can basically tell whether the employees are engaged in their jobs or being new on the job.
Being a secret shooper will allow me to assist many of these companies and corporations to improve their customer’s experiences and satisfaction.
January 27th, 2008 at 10:10 am
I believe I am perfect for this job. It has been very appealing to me since I satrted high school. I just finished, so I am really looking into becoming a secret shopper. Shopping is definietly my hobby, it is my passion! I understand that this job is not only fun and rewarding, there is a lot more to it. I am very good at observing my surroundings as soon as I enter a store. If I find that it is neat and organized, I stay in for a while and try to find something I like. I also focus in on how great the customer service is because I believe that is the most important aspect in how well a store does in sales and revenue. I realize the importance of mental note taking when observing a store. Using a voice recorder is even better than mental note taking since they come in small sizes now a days. I would make a great secret shopper because I know the “secret” to being “effectively secretive” and I know I would be great at it!
January 27th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
I would love to be a secret shopper as I’m very observant and personally very interested in customer service at every level.
January 27th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
I’d like to become a secret shopper because the fedback that is given to companies should help them better serve consumers.
January 28th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
I think I would be a great secret shopper for the simple fact that I can always find a bargain. Not to mention that both my kids and I always get asked where did You find that outfit, we are practically billboards for great buys. I could not only shop for all things woman but also for kids, husbands, house, expecting (baby due in Oct.) and sooo much more. I know I could do this and succeed.
January 28th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
I already am a secret shopper. I just don’t get paid! LOL… seriously. I am a serious shopper with the ultimate goal. To find the best holla for your dolla of course! The best BANG for your buck..did I mention it must have quality? Let’s face it… It has to be tried before you can definitely say no. You can absolutely depend on me..no matter what..to give the most honest feedback on any assignment. You can hear it from me first..without waiting for a customer to complain and/or praise. Honest, bold, opiniated, and open minded. Get what you asked for.
January 30th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
I feel I would make a good secret shopper as I have a lot of retail experience myself and have a good idea on what excellent customer service is. Having worked in both restaurents and retail industries, I have had it drummed into me what customers expect of me, and I myself give shoppers.
Having had secret shopper reports on myself, I feel I know what is required, and as an English student, I feel I communicate well with my written thoughts and opinions. Having worked in retail myself, I also feel a certain amount of empathy with the employees that I would be assessing.

January 30th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
Because I am young and unexperienced in this field, although I do shop, eat, and watch movies, someone new to this would better fit.
January 31st, 2008 at 7:34 am
I think that i would be great at this. I am a sweet girl that loves to eat, shop, and go the movies. I used to be a waitress for 7 years and i constantly judge the performance of my waiters/waitresses!
January 31st, 2008 at 11:14 am
I would make a great secret shopper. First of all I could make it entirely believable because I am a girl, and what do girls do best? Shop! Also, I’m intelligent and having worked at a restaurant for two years and two different insurance companies I have dealt with ALL kinds of people. I also have been followed and watched by a secret shopper before in claire’s and it was SO obvious because he followed me around looking at earrings. Anyway, so I know how NOT to act. Thank you for your time!
January 31st, 2008 at 6:44 pm
I’ve been self-employed for over thirty years in one profession. In my work I’ve dealt with the public. I am close to retirement and am looking for something to keep me busy as well as earn along the way. A friend mentioned she had been a secret shopper and suggested I look into it, so here I am.
February 1st, 2008 at 10:53 am
I really want to be a secret shopper. I love shopping and looking for something to keep me busy and explore what is going on this market. I am a very caring, sensible, confident and open minded.
February 1st, 2008 at 2:06 pm
I feel I would make a good secret shopper as I know what Excellent Customer Services means. Being a visible minority has been a TougH experience! Having worked all my life, I now have some $$$’s to shop. Although I am fluent in English and have lived in Toronto most of my life, I strongly believe that Customer service should be provided with a total Free Will, regardless of language, clothing or any other factor!
Having had secret reporters on myself, I know what is required. Having worked all my life myself, I also feel a certain amount of empathy with the employees that I would be assessing
February 2nd, 2008 at 1:40 am
i want to become a secret shopper because i’m looking for a free income that support my family and to have the time to enjoy them,and that i was self-employed for three years in the US
February 2nd, 2008 at 9:01 am
Living in Toronto had enabled me to purchase items from broader range of choices when shopping.Although I am 14 I believe what perfect shopper would be a typical teen.
It maybe interesting to see treatment towards younger customers, I wouldn’t mind shopping at stores such as Toys r Us, Children’s Place,Disney etc..
In addition I’ve gotten 98% in English, so I promise my reports will be clear and concise.
February 2nd, 2008 at 6:29 pm
customer service can make or break it…
niceness is important in this world, darn it.
February 2nd, 2008 at 6:33 pm
customer service can make it or break it. The goodness of a shopping experience depends upon the salespeople entirely. It would be rewarding to find those excellent workers and improve a company’s chances…plus the job details sound fantastic.
February 2nd, 2008 at 10:41 pm
I am not going to repeat the same old reasons that every other entry has on why I would be a great secret shopper.
It’s just about being honest and determining if those who are in the business of delivering goods and services do their job in a way that is genuine and not just to make money. This applies to the company as a whole and to its employees.
If the consumer feels appreciated and feels like they are getting the best value for their money, then that company has that customer for life.
Thank you!
February 3rd, 2008 at 5:28 pm
I did it once as a practice from a Costumer Service course.
February 4th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
I have retail Experience and I worked in retail stores for five years.If the customers are happy and feels appreciated and feels like they are getting the best value for their money they are paying , then that company has that customer for ever.
February 4th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Well, what makes me think that I would be a good secret shopper is that I have traveled to many places and seen many different types of consumer attractions. Therefore I could give out an honest and non-bias rating. In the end that is what’s most important.
February 4th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
I think I would be an ideal secret shopper, because, like many women, I love to shop. I am a young mother of 2, and I have a very investigative mind. I am a Paralegal program graduate, and I have worked in retail since I was 14 years old, for 8 years. I am very good at scoping things out, mainly because I have little trust in others, therefore, I think things through twice, and re-evaluate all kinds of situations, to ensure my suspicions are in fact accurate. I am loking for a job that can truly enjoy. I like to help accomplish justice, (i.e. Paralegal Course)where its due. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to obtain this position.
February 5th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
i would be a perfect seceret shopper because they would never suspect me
February 5th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
I dont have any experience in retail, or costumer service but, I do as a shopper. Every time I go to a store look for great prices, organization, merchandise in stock, how clean is the place, how the employees greet me and more. If I don’t like the service the posibilities of returning are very low.
February 5th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
i enjoy shopping as many people do, so what is better than shopping and then getting your opinion heard about your experience so it can be used constructivly to improve the shopping experience for others as well as yourself, SHOP TILL YOU DROP THEN SAY HOW IT FELT, BRILLIANT
February 6th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
I am 63 and disabled. Over the years I have seen how attitudes have changed. Going shopping today, in a lot of the big stores, staff tend to treat customers with intollerance. Gone is the friendly and personal touch. If I can make a difference by recording such behavour, and it gets acted on, then I would considder it a job well done.

February 6th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
I would like to be a secret shopper as I love shopping and spending money. I expect a certain standard of service especialy when I am spending a lot of money. I think you get what you pay for and that includes not only good quality merchandise but also good quality service. I would never be a suspect as I am just too nice.
February 6th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
I like all the other contestants like shopping, and I believe that I would benefit in being a secret shopper, because number one I have always wanted to experience the other side of things. Number two I know as I was growing up had many different jobs and I worked in two which I know that I had be secretly shopped, and that would be in entertainment and retail… I know how crucial it is to have well trained employees to handle any situation, this could determine the customers hole shopping experience at that unparticular store.
February 7th, 2008 at 1:08 am
I would make a really good and reliable mystery shopper, due to the fact that I am always noting the fact when a shop assistant is not quite up to scratch! I want to tell her to mind her manners, but always refrain. I have often been into shops where I am totally dis satisfied with the standards throughout and I would have loved to have dobbed them in. After all it does not matter who you are? or even how much you spend? Everyone is the same in my head and should be treated equally. I am a perfect candidate for this sort of thing.
February 7th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
I am of Asian descent and a very outgoing and personable individual. I have been in sales and know how to communicate with individuals,no matter what their disposition is at that time. I know that I could be an asset to your company, both short and long term. Look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

If I become one, I will report my comments from the customers point of view.
1. Filling a complaint when is needed
2. Commend someone or someplace for a job well done and outstanding service given.
Good Luck Everyone,

February 9th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
Becoming a secret shopper would be amazing. I would love have the ability to critique a company and actually have my words mean something instead of putting my opinions in a drop box that will probably never get read anyway. I would also love the fact that nobody would know I was critiquing them so it would truly show how they would treat a normal customer. I would be a great secret shopper because I ave experience in serving at restaurants and working at movie theaters so I would know what an employee should do correctly. I am also very strict with grading because I know how important company’s make these tests and expect me to grade each person based off of every point
February 11th, 2008 at 12:28 am
hi, I would make a great secret shopper… i was a stock broker for 23 years yet now run a horse farm so jeans are the dress of the day but the mind is sharp. I have travelled extensively and can start a conversation with anyone. I don’t look like the fancy , wealthy shopper, just the more common day to day person and therefore would always get the more typical response from store/service people and have fun doing it!
February 11th, 2008 at 1:44 am
I was a secret shopper for Mervyns, Penny, and other department stores in California several years ago and enjoyed it very much.
February 11th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
I would make a great mystery shopper in that I’ve been employed in the retail field for a very long time and know just what to look for as a consumer. I have noticed that since I became involved in retail and at one point, food services, I really notice when people are not behaving properly in their jobs. I really would like the opportunity to help some business out by letting them know just how their employees are treating customers…whether good or bad.
February 11th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
I have tried to find a legit secret shopper job for years now. I have always loved anything to do with investigations and shopping! what better way to do both than to be a secret shopper. I have worked in the consumer industry for years and truly believe in good customer service. A happy customer is a return customer. It is very important to treat every customer in the same way that you would want to be treated. At the same time it is important to also work quickly and efficiently with the companies interest in the forefront. I am very fair and detail oriented.
February 12th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
I would make a great Secret Shopper as I have experience in the retail industry. I always gave 110% when working with customers and know what to look for while shopping because of my work experience. And as a college student (an extremely busy education major) who has a hard time finding a regular part-time job that works with my school schedule and responsibilities, this would be absolutely perfect as it would completely work with school!
February 13th, 2008 at 11:53 am
I would like to become a secret shopper because I have owned and worked in resturants managed and worked in retail and have been a janitor for years and am very dissatisfied with the work progress of people and the lack of clean eating establishments etc.
February 13th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
I know I would make an excellent Secret Shopper because not only am I a SHOPAHOLIC, but I know all about customer service. I am a single mother of two beautiful girls, my second daughter is only two weeks old. I was blessed to be able to be a stay-at-home mother with my first daughter until she was three. I will not financially have that luxury with the arrival of my second. I would love the opportunity to work in a field that would not only allow me to make a change in the horrible way things are done these days, but to also bring in the extra income I need for my girls. I am a very educated woman and I know that I would do a superb job as a secret shopper. If given this opportunity I will not let you or my two little angels be disappointed. Thank you for your time and consideration.
February 15th, 2008 at 8:42 am
The idea of being a secret shopper has been interesting to me ever since I worked at a grocery store when I was a teenager. As employee’s, we always tried to pick out the secret shoppers frequenting our local establishment. The opportunity to observe employees or customers of an establisment without them realizing it gives you a chance to see how people treat rules and policies when they don’t realize an authority figure is around is very interesting, plus I can help to deter unlawfull behavior that could possibly be dangerous.
February 15th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
I believe I should be a secret shopper because I have been in various industries and experienced all aspects of many businesses and how they should be operated. I have been a server for 7 years, and actual served many secret shoppers myself. Never have I received a mark lower than 90% on any of these “tests”. I know what good service is and I know how to demostrate it. I cannot stand mediocre customer service skills, and believe everyone should strive to please a customer, no metter how demanding they may seem. I would love to be able to critique employees skills to help them achieve the best expertise in customer service they can.
February 17th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
I am a retired person with a lot of spare time on my hands. I would be interested in finding ways to join.
February 17th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
I would make a great Secret Shopper because as a mature adult woman I know what consumers are looking for and what makes them happy. I have a lot of time on my hands and love to shop and eat out.
I love being a Stay-At-Home-Mom and I am not interested in a desk job that would require me to leave my kids. Therefore, I am eager to find other ways of supplementing my income and this is perfect for me.
What better job is there then doing what you love most!!
February 18th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
I am so interested of this industry as it is spreading in the close region. seeking excellence in service due to market demand as well as national mandate -sometimes- urges me to become a mystery shopper.
I need to experience this kind of business and how it efficient it will be in such environment of high diversity of people from many many cultures and countries. It is a challenge.
February 18th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
I HAVE WORKED IN LUXURY STORES BEFORE FOR THE LIKES OF CHANEL, GIORGIO ARMANI, ETC, SO KNOW THE LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT IS REQUIRED BY EMPLOYERS TO BE OF AN EXCELLENT STANDARD. I THEREFORE FEEL THAT MY VIEWS WOULD BE AN ASSET TO ANY STORE, AND WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY WITH OPEN ARMS, AS IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN OF GREAT INTEREST TO ME.
ALL I NEED IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE GIVEN A CHANCE.
February 18th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Why do i want to become a secret shopper. First of all i don’t have experience in working in these different places but i do go shopping for clothing regularly. As well as shoes, go out to the movies and eat out regularly. I pay attention to what im eating and how it taste or what a buy and how it looks. I like to have style and grace in everything that i do. Which i think is a key to secret shopping. You need to be able to criticize what you’re buying or eating or watching and im very good at that i have alot of experience in dealing with people. I really think that this is the job for me and it would be a great opportunity and an honorable one if im chosen to be apart of this grown trend.

After years of working with many different companies, I know what happens when secret shoppers were suppose to visit my work. Every employee would nice to the older crowd, but then turn around and be the lazy, disgruntled employee they really were to everyone else. That’s why someone young like myself would be the perfect secret shopper. As a 21 year old college student, no one would expect me to be the secret shopper.

hi, my name is simone and i think i could be a great secret shopper. why? the answer is very easy:i’m male, 20 years old, but i’m looking much younger then that. I’ve always known that a customer is always a customer, doesn’t matter his age, so why not to try to see how staff would greet a young boy, and how it would be the service to see if everybody think the same way?…i think this is a good idea, what about you?
February 21st, 2008 at 10:17 pm
Why I want to be a secret shopper:
To make money!
Why I will be a GREAT secret shopper:
Because I want money and the only way to get money is to do the job the way it was meant to be done, and then some. I also am pure stealth so.. I own!

‘Tis no secret,I’m a serious shopper,
And as a Brit in the US, always proper.
I always make sure I never come a cropper
Because I can shop ’til I dropper.
‘Tis true with shopping I’m obsessed.
So much so, that I’m probably possessed!!
If I cannot win this contest
The shops will not be impressed.
So if I may suggest,please grant my request.
Any secret would be very close to my chest
That no company or person will ever guess!!
Who would think a Brit could be so blessed?
So I can be a pest or better than the rest.
Now it’s down to you to end this test.
February 22nd, 2008 at 2:26 pm
I believe I have the skills essential to sucessfully performing as a Secret Shopper. First, as a CPA, I have always exhibited a strong attention to detail. Further, as a licensed attorney, I also display a keen sense of observation coupled with the writing skills to translate what I witness.
In college, one of first jobs was being a Secret Shopper viewing movie trailers which I thoroughly enjoyed.
February 23rd, 2008 at 12:39 pm
After working in the motor industry for many moons, and being mystery shopped so frequently, I would love the chance to be on the other end!! As a customer service advisor for several car dealerships I know what is expected from customers.
At present I am working in the retail business for a very well known chain of stores, again customer facing. I feel I have the experience in dealing with customers to know what they want, and what is expected.
February 23rd, 2008 at 12:57 pm
I am qualified to be a secret shopper because I live in an area of the country that customer services is at an all time low (MASS). Having lived in an area of the country where customer services was stellar (Oregon), I know the difference and feel I am qualified to make a comparison. Plus it just sounds like a fun thing to do.

Wearing an ensemble resembling that of a modern Jackie O I effortlessly breeze in to the store. I may be just like any other shopper, but I am not.. I.. am a secret shopper. I prowl the aisles for the best material, latest fashions and quality service.
“Ma’am.. can I help you?” I pull down my over sized Gucci sunglasses and give the young girl a once over. Not bad. Appropriately dressed, nice demeaner.. best of all, she didn’t hover.
“No,thank you.” I replied, pushing my sunglasses back up on to the brim of my nose. I work fast. I know what I’m looking for. Good material, up-to-date fashions and quality service. I breeze through the clothes accessing.. the shop is good, but I have seen better.
I strut past the customer service girl in my red stilettos and out the door. It’s a jungle out here in the fashion world.. but if anyone can handle the racks and racks of clothes, shoes and accessories. It’s Nigro… Brianne Nigro.

I am a detail oriented and accurate person.I usually notice things other people don’t. I would like to use some of my free time to do free shopping and provide my feedback. I am 28years old, I have a full time job, but I am hoping for some additional money to support my family and have fun at the same time. thank you for your consideration.

June, July, August! I’m a teacher who needs to shop during the summer, and I don’t get a paycheck. Sounds like we could have a very nice relationship. I revise, edit, correct, encourage, ask a lot of questions, judge, motivate, analyze, synthesize, realize, observe, exchange, confront, confound, assert, revert, multi-task while interacting with multi-intelligences who have different learning styles, and then I get to write it all on paper, submit it to the administration, the parents, or the students, go home and relax, then get up and do it all over again. Sounds like a run-on sentence and shopping to me!!

I beleive that I would make a great secret shopper because, I have over 20 years in the customer service business. Starting as a sales associate in a retail store in high school, becoming a manager and moving to be a sales representative for a major attraction. I know what is good customer service and what is great customer service. And have the understand on how to give the best customer service possible.
I just had my second child and have left the sales business I know and love to raise my children. Although I have chosen to make a change in careers, I would love to stay connected to the business and use the skills I have learned and crafted to make a little money for my growing family.
Plus as a newly stay-at-home Mom, I need a escape from the home every once and awhile. I can not think of a better “mommy time” then shopping.

Customer service is the most influential aspect of customer retention. In order for companies to grow and mature their employees need to be offering the same level of service that they would if their superior were standing next to them. It is my opinion that the most effective ways of ensuring this high level of performance is mystery shoppers.
While it is nice to assume that your employees are meeting or exceeding the customers needs from end to end even when you are not around. It is not a reality and the vast majority of the customers that have a bad experience will never have their voice heard by the company because in most cases it is easier to never return. The downside to this is that the concern of the customer goes unaddressed and though the company may never hear of this issue many other potential customers will hear about it through word of mouth.
I feel that mystery shopping creates a safety net for these companies and helps them address issues that would otherwise unheard. Which leads me to believe that this is the right line of work for me.

I wait tables for a living and know how important it is to go above and beyond for our guest and I feel that a lot of on site management do not pay enough attention to the details that the guest is paying for. I know what to look for, example: is the problem due to the managers not paying attention to details or is it the lack of caring coming from that employee. I am not one to cast immediate judgement, I will observe the situation and look at the many factors that could be causing the problems. I also am one to show my appreciation when I notice someone going above and beyond. So by me being a secret shopper not only would I let the companies know the things they are doning wrong, but I would also let them know what they are doing right which can be just as important for future success.

Two reasons:
1) I’m a SAHM with a 4 month old girl that loves to go out and see new places and new faces. We go out to shop/eat/or just walk around a mall just about everyday, so why not get paid for it. (hubby loves the idea!)
2) I’ve seen firsthand the rudeness of staff and I would like to bring this to the attention of management so they can rectify this. I used to voice my opinion when I would see someone inappropriately dressed, rush customers, give customers the brush off so they can get back to “texting”. But it seems there’s so much of it, and the right people need to know what’s going on, which is why this job would be perfect.

I would love to become a mystery shopper. I would like to be a stay at home mom all the time. I love to shop and I really believe I could do a wonderful job. I truly believe that there is a need here in western North Carolina. I hope you will give me a chance. This would be a dream come true.

I would like to become a mystery shopper because I THINK IT WOULD BE FUN!!!! I would enjoy meeting people,testing,and trying new products and sevices. Plus, the opportunity to have my comments and opinions valued gives more incentive. Being a mystery shopper to me would be THE DREAM JOB.
