A mystery shop...I'm a little nervous!

I have to go to a store and attempt to buy cigarettes, but am not allowed to show ID. If they ask for it I am to say "I am old enough." If they DO sell them to me I have to buy them, if not I have to leave.

But in either case I have to find the manager and have them sign the paper! That is what I am little nervous about. What if the cashier DOES sell them to me without ID'ing me (I am of legal age though)? I don't want to get anyone in trouble, but the whole idea IS to make sure they are following their own policy!

You're right, Matt. THe whole idea is that they do follow their own policy and THE LAW! If one cashier gets caught selling cigarettes to a minor, not only do they get in trouble, they also get the store in trouble. So don't worry, whether the cashier sells them to you or not, you want to make sure he/she is doing their job. You wouldn't want a cashier to sell them to your kids without showing ID, would you? I know you don't have any kids but you know what I mean. You'll do fine. Let us know how it goes.

Re: A mystery shop...I'm a little nervous!

Mystery shopping can be fun, I recently did one at Davids Bridal
as a Bride. It was really fun. I didn't take anyone with me, but I got to try on 6 wedding dresses, but I did feel bad when the girl who spent so much time with me asked me if I made a decision and I said, I'll have to think about it....
But I made $20 on that deal.

How long do you usually have to wait to get paid? I *really* need the money badly.

I also have to do a mystery shop next week, but it's going to cost me some so I sure hope I get this shop check soon!

It's kind of hard to do it getting reimbursed cuz you never really know when you'll get the money.

Where did you even sign up to be a mystery shopper? I looked before and only found a site that wanted a huge membership fee, looked like a scam.
