That would be mostly restaurants.It can cost money in transportation to get there,and sometimes a flat fee doesn't cover everything on the menu.So the shop fee and the reimbursement is great.Just saying.

Fully agreed!

Which one would you prefer - a shop with a higher fee but smaller reimbursement, or one with a smaller fee but higher reimbursement?

I Think A Higher Fee is Better .,

I would like the higher fee unless it were for clothing or flights.

A Canadian mystery shopping company has restaurant shops were all you get is 50% reimbursement. There sit on the board forever! Shocker! :-)

Yes that would be best in that case.

BBsically as long as it covers both transport and food.

I can see the argument for that since you might have alternate ways of transportation.

II wish more food places were any time of the day rather than just dinner.

There are various restaurant shops. I have seen breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late night.

II agree. I like the Asian Box a lot. Some places you don't necessarily want to take public transit at night, though.

I agree for higher reimbursement.

^^Michelle,

Is it possible that some shops are done at night so that the management / staff would not suspect a Mystery shopper?

This was my thought.
