It's when someone from the company poses as a customer, buys a few things, and then later grades the store on their performance.

Why the hell would a company waste money doing that???

Silly rabbits.
Mystery shoppers are people who are paid to go shop in your store and rate the service. They basically have to act like any other customer and then report back on specific things with their service. I work at Staples and the mystery shoppers have to report back on a specific employee after they shopped. So the people who work the aisles have to ask certain things and the cashiers have to ask certain things and so on. And the mystery shoppers make sure you say them because after they shop and fill out the survey, it goes back to our store and we get the results.

The whole point is to see how good of an employee you are with out directly saying so.

I think I am the happiest person ever right now.

Ever.

Really.

I wish I had a good reason.

That's what the boss is for, not some unknown dude. And I'm not a rabbit. I'm only a bunny :nod:

But a boss can't tell how an employee acts when they arn't around. Which is why they need the mystery shop. Its actually a good program. Except when you work there for like 8 years and you know when people are mystery shopping. haha.

Besides, its not the store that pays for it. Its the head office. So they know their stores are in tip top shape.

Damn corporate suits. Think they know everything, but they don't! If you're a good boss, then you know when you have a good employee and a bad employee.

Holy mother of mercy that was scary. I just saw a sketchy guy walking through the neighbor's backyard. Albeit that guy could be the neighbor too.

well my friend's bedroom is at the back of the apartment and it's ground level and he's got a door in his room leading to the alley and he looked out his window last night and saw a deranged homeless man with a foot long butcher knife stabbing the door across the alley from him.

in situations like that, all you can do is cuddle the baseball bat/hockey stick you happen to own for situations like that.

well actually he was standing on the porch watching this guy and then tried to back into his room without being noticed, when his roommates dog came out and started barking. dogs are stupid!
