Went to Costcos today to do two mystery shops!!! For the first shop the sales associate said the alarm I was looking for was not in stock!! The other guy said it was for the second!! I sent in both!! I hope I get my points!!!! I explained this in the notes section!! This is what makes this tricky!! Hope they don't refuse my shop!! Well, I enjoyed some pretty good samples anyways!!

It is tricky, that is why you have to always carefully review what you are supposed to do. You don't want your report rejected on a technicality.

@Nakitakona yes, not always buying something, just seeing if it's in stock!!

You do different tasks like take pictures of products on the shelf and count how many!! Mystery means you are doing this secretly!! No one is supposed to know you're mystery shopping!!

Do they tell you what to shop for or do you buy what you want and give a report on the service?

Oh no I don't buy anything. Usually they want u to take a picture of a display or see where ice cream is on the shelf and how many are in stock for example!! Though there are a few that wants u to make a purchase!!
