Yes... sort of. Truth is, you're not getting paid to actually shop, you're getting paid to pretend you're shopping. So, no, you can't just goof-off and have a grand old time. It's a real job. Consider yourselves spies. Here's an actual assignment from the MSPA website:
"DESCRIPTION
BestMark Mystery Shopping Company has an easy age-compliance mystery shop in your area!
Shop requirements:
• You need to bring a 15-17 year old to a local electronic store to try and purchase an M-Rated video game. The teen will pick out an “M” rated video game and proceed to the front check-out lanes alone. You will stand about five feet away to observe the scene; you should stand close enough to get the name and description of the cashier but far enough away so it is not obvious you are with the teen. You will evaluate and report on if the cashier allows the underage teen to purchase the “M” rated video game or not.
• This shop requires only about ten minutes in the store and has a very simple, quick survey!"
Hmmm... in retrospect, this CAN BE FUN!
