Great Ideas for mystery shoppers.

First, what is a mystery shopper. Someone that is paid to shop at stores, restaurants, theaters and sporting events. This statement is true in 2 different ways and most people are not paying attention to the subtle difference.

I will use an assignment to eat at a restaurant.

The first type of pay would include a set amount for gas, an amount for the meal and a tip. This is one type of mystery shopping. The payment for the job is only the amount to cover the cost of the meal. This is a type of payment that many fail to realize.

The second type of pay is that you would go out to the restaurant and have a nice meal. Once you have eaten you would take all the information that you have gathered and write your report and submit it. You would then be reimbursed for the meal and paid a predetermined amount for doing the assignment.

Both are ways to be paid for mystery shopping, though the first is more common than the second, the second is what most people expect when they think of mystery shopping.
