Have you ever pretended to be a mystery shopper to get better food?

Or have you tried to guess who the mystery shopper is at work? Humor welcome.

How would that work?

If you’re a “SECRET SHOPPER” how would that work? ?

Let me see if I understand. Back when Costco & the Price Club were seperate entities, we had a stuation where the 2 outfits had stores literally acrosd the freeway fromone another. And I soon noticed that when I shopped either store, I would often bump into a couple, always a man and woman who I recognized as employees from across the street. Always pushing and stuffing a cart like “normal” shoppers. Whenever I would challenge these pairs, they would simply grin like mutes and press on. Is that what you mean by mystery shoppers?

@Tropical_Willie @stanleybmanly By always asking for a receipt, and asking the host for their name.

I think @RedDeerGuy1 is shooting for Filet Mignon for the price of a McDouble!

So mystery shopper is the same as espionage shopper? But wouldn’t the proprietor understand that pampering the mystery shopper only telegraphs that shopper that his cover is blown?

@stanleybmanly That I think is what @RedDeerGuy1 is hoping for; like I said Filet for the price McDouble for a good review.

I am a mystery shopper. I trade anonymous and fake name store loyalty cards with strangers at every opportunity.
