Secret Shopper

I was one of the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands that were effected by the government shutdown.   So...I had to get creative.  Anyone who knows me knows I can't sit idle to save my life.   Really...I don't think I could even if it saved my life.  I have wwwwwaaaaaayyyyyyy to much energy.

So the first 3 days I sat at home....I sat, and I sat, and I sat. I had to do something.  I started searching the web.  What better invention every existed?  The world wide web.  You know you can search ANYTHING!

I had to find a way to make some quick cash.  I knew I could babysit (I'm practically a professional babysitter).  I registered for some childcare websites.  Then my sister mentioned secret shoppers.  She had told me about it for apartment shops but I wanted more than that.

Over my time as a secret shopper, I will share with you some of my experiences, and what I liked and didn't like and WHY!   Why is the all important questions.  Customer service is huge and I think many places are struggling to find good employees who understand what good, no GREAT, customer service is.  

Join me on this journey.   It's been a fun ride so far and I look forward to what all is to come.

And just in case you're wondering.  I was off for 3 days because I was not essential, but then magically I was essential and worked the rest of the furlough.  But even still, I think good came out of it because now, I can make a little extra cash and doing something with my down time.  

As I always said with my peeps overseas "we gotta find the silver lining".  Secret Shopper was mine during the government shutdown.
