I took an opportunity on the 29th of August about a secret shopper site and while I was checking out the site I also decided to sign up as a mystery shopper because I think it would be cool to go to individual establishments and evaluate their customer service.

The application was easy to fill out so I applied. So I received an email today giving me some specifics on the openings around Pennsylvania. If I am a new shopper I am only allowed to take one shop, I guess this would be an evaluation shop to see how well you do.

Because of the distance I would have to travel for one of these shops and the amount that was being offered just didn’t make sense for me to accept any of them. Especially with the price of gas.

If they had been able to supply businesses around the immediate area I live in then I could have accepted and done my first secret shopper assignment because then I would be making money instead of spending more to make less and traveling a couple of hours for $10.00, just isn’t feasible for me.

Maybe down the road they might have something I can accept. They seem to cover all the states so if your interested in something like this and the assignments are near you then it could be a way to make extra spending money. Maybe there are local companies in your area that provide this secret shopper type of service. It can’t hurt to check.
