Some of you have noted interest in the past, so I thought I would share a day of mystery shopping. This isn't everyday, but I could do this type of day at least three times a week. The times include the shop and the report. This is my agenda for tomorrow:
1.) Breakfast at Sonic:
Pay: $10 (Originally $5, Bonus $5)
Reimbursement: Up to $7.80 (It's enough for a complete meal. I will probably take my son to school, and he can eat it beforehand. I am trying to avoid fast food.)
Report Easy, no narrative
Total time for this shop: 30 mins
Time for payment: 30 days
2.) Local Credit Union for a typical transaction:
Pay: $10 (This is low pay for a bank shop, but I need to go there anyhow.)
Report: Easy, one section of narrative
Total time for this shop (Assuming no long lines): 15 minutes
Time for payment: 6 weeks
3.) Ross (Clothing store)
Pay: $24 (Originally $14, Bonus $10)
No reimbursement (purchase and return-I will go to Fed Ex. which is near Ross and then return the item.)
Report: Easy, no narrative
Total time for this shop: 45 minutes
Time for payment: 30 days
4.) Fed Ex
Pay: $25 for a package pick up (No idea if there is actually anything of value in the package. The tracking says it weighs 1 lb.)
Report: Moderate, some narrative
Total time for this shop: 30 minutes
Time for payment: 2 weeks
5.) Hot Head Burritos
Pay: $0
Reimbursement: $15 (It will be enough to cover two burritos and two drinks.)
Report: Moderate, some narrative
Total time for this shop: 45 minutes
Time for payment: 5 weeks
I took this shop because it is my son's favorite place. I rarely do reimbursement only shops.
These shops are all local (5 mile radius).
I will make $69 cash and up to $22.80 in reimbursements. With the shops and driving, I am expecting 4 hours of work at most. I can't do the burrito shop until 5 PM, so I will go home and do the other reports and go back out for that shop.
