More mystery shopping

I seem to be very busy doing almost nothing these days, so I was pleased to be able to fit two mystery shops in this week - both of which required two visits to the store. I took the barnacle with me on one of the days and on the other he attended his home daycare. He screams blue murder when I leave him, but soon calms down and has fun with the other little boy there. Or at least that's what I am told. It's Friday today and he will be back at daycare. Which will enable me to power through my to-do list. When I get off here of course. Happy Friday!

I would love to do mystery shopping, but there is nothing available in my area.

@Angel_15 There are many scams so you are wise to be cautious. I am in Canada so do not know about your area. I make sure I register with companies listed at the Mystery Shoppers Providers Association (MSPA) They have an international branch. Check out One company I have worked for that has shops all over the world is www.albatrossonline.com

I am fortunate to live in an area where there ar many opportunities to shop. The first time, I was VERY nervous. Crazy really.

I have the same problem. I've seen some mystery shopping jobs here but reviews say that they are scams.

I remember the days when I had to bring my littles to daycare. They would have a fit when I left, but did settle down and have a good time playing with the other children.

I am lucky that our daycare lady sends me photos of barnacle having a good time :)

@BellaDoc the day care that my niece and nephew took they littles too often snapped photos for them to see how they were enjoying the day.

I'm about to pick it up again, which I mentioned on another post. My favorite are restaurant shops. I've never had to take a small child with me but sometimes my grown children went and they always give me a hard time..like teasing me by saying I'm an obvious shopper. But they appreciate the free meal!

Extra people on a mystery shop can be a nuisance I think.

I've heard how others enjoy doing mystery shopping. Sounds interesting but I'm not sure it's for me...

And I am sure your Barnacle truly does settle down and enjoy himself.

I hope you got off here and got to that To Do list. I am giving myself half an hour here and I need to start To Do ing. You beat me on mystery shops this week. I only did one and it only required making a phone call.
