How does mystery shopping work? What kind of skill sets does the job require? How much can be realistically earned on a monthly basis, etc?
I’m currently working part time only during weekends and have a lot of tike during weekdays, so I’m considering becoming a mystery shopper as a way of earning some extra cash while not compromising my mental health. Any help to shed light on the topic will be sincerely appreciated.
Thank you.

Mystery shopping is how companies test their employees.
When you sign up as a mystery shopper, you are given assignments, like say, going grocery shopping with a list of items to purchase and tasks to complete.
Were the items stocked, reachable, placed where they should be? Was there staff available for assistance? Were they knowledgeable and helpful? During checkout, were there lines and how fast did the line move?
Afterward, you fill out a report with all the information they are looking for.
You typically pay for the items up front and get reimbursed if you filled out the report correctly. You then keep the items.
It’s kind of like gig work.
