wow, secret shopper sounds like a good gig, Legion. I would like to do that for hotels. I have become quite an accomplished complainer about business travel, (worst in my humble opinion is London) but I think that I could make some money that way some day. Right now I get free stays for all of the indignities which I document. I fill out all those forms they leave; my “critiques” are really passionate and probably leave an impression.
Lesbiman, no decent focus group moderator guides participants to “correct” responses. Theyre supposed to be neutral and just guide a convo. And we pay them a flat fee, not per consumer.
Drewcstuart has an idea about getting a old nice size couch and getting it reupholstered. I found some really nice ladies club chairs at Eddie Hibbert’s place once. They were a total wreck but the perfect size for my skinny brownstone and I had DAS on Cortelyu road reupholster them. I bought the fabric and DAS was pretty reasonable and now I have two awesome chairs. He reupholstered a desk chair for me too. Did a nice job.
lesbiman,
Have you heard of these jobs where they hire you as a “secret shopper”, supposedly you get hired to shop at stores and make comments on the service or something.
Is that for real or just a “stuffed envelope” scam.
dh,
what’s you’re home style? modern, country, rock n’roll??

I’m just sayin’
personally I loved being apart of both focus groups I took part in – and I do think they are handy for the company hosting them
Oh sure, CH, when I go home I will email you pictures of the chairs. He did such a nice job. I love them.
WABC, in a fee dispute with Cabevision, has threatened to pull its signal on March 7. You won’t be able to watch the Academy Awards.
