I have done some mystery shopping at restaurants. It's great to get a free lunch and if available some extra cash to call on some businesses.

I've been mystery shopping for about 6 years now. The pay has really dwindled down to nothing. I only do new home shops now. They pay between $45-$125 a shop for me, but they also make you write 8-10 page reports.

I didn't realize that companies actually pay you to be a mystery shopper. Can you be one no matter where you live? Or do you have to live or shop in a certain area

Fast food workers live in a state of constant fear of : what if that was the mystery shopper!..ha ha
Having worked in said industry for several years a long time ago I find myself doing mental mystery shopping even though I do not fill out a form or actually get paid for it.

It is not bad. I worked in fast food. We would get mystery shoppers come in. They grade you. They take temps of food. Which is good for health reasons. They also score on if you upsell. That is why we have to ask if want fries or shake or something like that. The boss did not like getting a low score because we did not upsell. I have done some mystery shopping for several years. It just helps keep people on their toes which helps the public. I feel anyway.!

Thanks for telling us. I would like to do some mystery shopping if it is available in Sweden or Northern Europe.

Do they all cost money to get started? I am interested, but I don't have much money, and don't know if I would be able to afford to start!

I tried one company but the amount of places to go were small in my area. Let me know where you go.
