If you want referrals or more info on the types of shops I've done, write on my wall and I'll copy/paste the big hunk of text I sent to a few others who asked :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-mystery-shop#post-1033154 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 08:29:57 +0000 regberadaisy 1033154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: @StbHisMrs: @sorrycharlie: @wheres_c: wall me the company you used for restaurants please! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-mystery-shop#post-1033059 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 08:01:31 +0000 LuLu Mom 1033059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm another one that is interested on how you got started, I think this sounds like a fun way to make a little money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-mystery-shop#post-1033051 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 07:59:07 +0000 Periwinkle 1033051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very curious about this too! Would love a recommendation on where to look for a "safe" place to start this. I am generally pretty leery of online "offers" to sign up to mystery shop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-mystery-shop#post-1032787 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 03:25:57 +0000 Boogs 1032787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to know also, how do you get into this?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-mystery-shop#post-1032780 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 02:51:20 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 1032780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always wanted to do this.

I bet he got in trouble!!</p> <p>@mrs. bird: Yeah I did one car sales one in person and decided it wasn't worth the money. The guy called me "kiddo" and brought over "uncle larry, the manager, to explain how car deals worked, honey" GAG!! It was so slimy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-mystery-shop#post-1032277 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 18:54:58 +0000 mrs. bird 1032277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've done car ones and felt weird about it, i brought a friend for the first one and we made up backstories before we went, haha, she helped me remember all the things i needed to do while there. it was harder than i expected, i got frazzled since i had to shop for one &gt;$80,000 but they didn't have any in stock! i panicked. it gets easier though! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-mystery-shop#post-1032216 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 17:51:03 +0000 joyjoy 1032216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only done grocery ones. I always got my grocery shopping done at the same time and tried to cater my questions towards things I was actually interested in, so I never felt guilty. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-mystery-shop#post-1032207 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 17:46:13 +0000 sorrycharlie 1032207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only had restaurants, so I didn't feel bad :) I haven't done any else because they didn't want me to bring children, but um..I don't have child care! haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-mystery-shop#post-1032192 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 17:34:51 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1032192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds fun.

I don't feel guilty... except for the one time the guy didn't card me for the drink and I had to indicate that on the report - but he was soooooo nice I didn't want to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-mystery-shop#post-1032176 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 17:23:40 +0000 katsupgirl 1032176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds awesome!

I thought it was so much fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-mystery-shop#post-1031930 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 15:11:07 +0000 wheres_c 1031930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only ever done it for restaurants, so never felt guilty.<br /> I was supposed to taste the food and rate it though, and there were times that the restaurant was so dirty there was no way I was going to try the food! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-mystery-shop#post-1031886 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 14:53:42 +0000 immabeetoo 1031886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>do you ever feel guilty? Right now I'm doing a series of phone shops where I'm posing as interested in a new car. The one I did today the guy was SO nice and helpful and I totally would've bought a car from him. Obviously I'm writing good feedback on my report but I feel guilty that I'm "leading him on"!! </p>
