There are few persons out there who can resist the temptation of getting goods for free. How would you like to go shopping and get paid for the same? Yes, you heard it right. You will be paid for the goods that you are purchasing and if that is not enough, even the bills for eating in restaurants, watching movies, traveling etc. will be paid by the organization that is recruiting you. Not only do you get these free goods, you also get a fixed stipend too. Is it really possible to have your cake and eat it too? If this question is bothering you, just browse through the net and look out for details of what is being offered for those who want to pursue a career as a shadow shopper . It may sound too good to be true, but there are many people who are earning a decent sum of money and pocketing paid gifts while pursuing this career. You need not work full time in this job and can even do the same in your part time.

You might have heard a lot about this shadow shopper but who are these people? Are they someone special? These shadowy surveyors are normal human beings just like you and me. The only difference that they have is that have a sharp eye that keeps on looking out for abnormalities in shopping malls, movie halls, stores and restaurants. These abnormalities may range from cleanliness, the quality of the food being offered, the type of service being offered etc. The shadow shopper works on behalf of the owner of these organizations and report back their findings to them. If the quality of food being served in a restaurant is not up to the mark, if the salesman of a mall is not paying attention to the clients, these organizations will be shunned by the suffering clients and it is to avoid the loss of business and clientele that the organizations hire these spies.

The shadow shopper is expected to check out all discrepancies that are there in the organization they are keeping an eye on. Is the washroom clean, was the cutlery being provided in the restaurant spick and span, was the salesperson courteous and devoting enough time and attention to the clientele? All these facts are noticed by these spies. Apart from that they also observe if the staff are arriving and leaving the shop as per schedule or not. It is but obvious that the surveyor has to dine out in the restaurant to check the quality of its food. To gauge the friendliness of a salesperson the spies have to purchase goods too. Apart form their monthly stipend these observers are paid money to purchase goods and also to dine out. This is one of the biggest benefits of pursuing such a career.

At the end of the day, the shadow shopper has to note down all his activities and observations of the day in a form provided by his employer. Not only are the bad points noted, the good ones are jotted down too. If the salesperson went out of his way to hunt down the elusive item that the spy was seeking it will be highlighted and positive points will be given against his name. Negative points will be given to those who were rude or did not help.
