Secret Shopping Services Bring Back Integrity

Business is business, as the old saying goes. That line has been used for decades to justify acts of consequence wrought upon others at the hands of greedy executives. People who have worked for a company for twenty years suddenly get laid off, but business is business. A huge box store moves into a small town, wiping out the mom and pop shops along Main Street that have been the bread and butter of those families for fifty years, but business is business.

Where is the conscience in business today? Where is the integrity? The answer may not be found in the heads of corporations or even in upper management. More often than not, the integrity, the conscience of a business, can be found in the only place where it can be of benefit to those at the helm of the ship. That place is the ranks of employees who man the counters, park the cars, cook the food, answer the phones and serve the patrons.

Even the staunchest, most narrow minded business owner will understand the degree to which customer service and satisfaction play a role in their advancement. If the guests are not happy, if the customers have a poor experience at one of their establishments, whether it is a fast food chain, a casino, a food storage business, a movie theater, a grocery store, an apartment community or a gas station, then their business is lost, as is any business that a happy, satisfied patron would bring to an establishment regarded by them as exceptional.
