Mystery Shopper Review: My Olive Garden Experience

I'm providing this mystery shopper review for moms who are looking at mystery shopping as a means to add income to their family budget.

Here's what happened to me...

My dinner at Olive Garden began with my first assignment--a trip to the bar. Since I'd never sat in a bar area before, this was a little uncomfortable for me, but I was relieved that at least they didn't require me to order alcohol! From there the waiter seated me in the dining room, and I must admit that it was fun knowing inside that I was on a "secret mission" (sorta like a spy). LOL

As expected, my food was great and I enjoyed observing the employees and making note of the small details I was required to notice. Once home, I completed a lengthy narrative evaluation and submitted it according to the directions. Six weeks later I received a response, and I was a little disappointed. Only a portion of my meal was reimbursed--NOTHING more!

So I earned my money in free food!

Can you see now why I'm not a huge fan of mystery shopping? I've written more about this in my article below, Are Secret Shopper Jobs Really Worth Your Time?

Could you please do me a big favor though?

If you do earn good money as a mystery shopper, or if you know someone else who does, please share your experience(s) with me so I can share your experience with other moms!

I trust this mystery shopper review has helped you!
