Mystery shoppers go to assigned stores, restaurants, apartments and more to evaluate the service at each place. They may or may not be required to make a purchase. The shopper must carefully remember as many details as possible about the shop, most especially the names they deal with, and write a detailed report about it.

Despite the occasional pitfalls, some people do quite well as mystery shoppers. You have to learn to do them efficiently and to keep great notes so that your shops aren’t jumbled in your mind as you type them up. It may only bring in a little extra for most, but it can also be fun.
