im currently jobless and looking for something i can make some money at. Waiter was #1 on my list until I was searching monster and found something called mystery shopping. It's where companies pay you for your opinion on customer service3 for places like movie theatres, restaurants, disneyworld and other theme parks, department stores, and different vacation spots. Has anyone done this before and can shed some light on this occupation that seems too good to be true to me. Do you have to use your own money to shop if so how much do you make if they're paying you but your using your own cash ?

I looked into this once, and I am pretty sure that it is bogus (the sites offering to provide you with all the mystery shopping opportunities are scams).
I learned that with anything that seems TOO easy and too much of a freebie, it's probably a scam.

Ah, do not listen too much to the above post. I work in a grocery store, and we have the occasional mystery shopper(usually monthly). I am not sure how much they get paid, but, basically, the come in, and go to each department, looking for specific criteria that the company expects, and they right down this information(while picking up a few items so as to look more conspicuous. They remain in the store for anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour.
Simply put, if you are looking for some extra income, it seems like a very easy job.
P.S. I am not sure if you actually havr to purchase groceries.

Mystery shopping is real.
In past holidays I worked at a video store and on more than one occassion have received/seen the "mystery shopper report" (in paper form) on how the store appears to the customer.
Sometimes the mystery shopper HAS NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE TALKING (writing) ABOUT.
They write stuff like:
"I walked in, browsed for 10mins, waited for the staff to approach but they didnt. I browsed for 20 more minutes - I still wasnt approached by a staff member. In fact, I had to go up to the counter to ASK for help".
Seriously, staff have things to do you know! End rant.
Anyways good luck with the job!
