How do I Become a Secret Shopper for Long's Drugs?
A mystery shopper is a person paid by a company to shop or dine in his local community and then provide a review of the restaurant or store he visited. Companies hire mystery shoppers to evaluate their competitors' service as well as the companies' own service. Businesses use this feedback to improve their services and products. Although you typically can't specify an exact establishment to mystery shop for, you can become a mystery shopper at a business such as a Longs drug store if you are assigned to it.

Register with one or two mystery shopping companies, preferably ones that don't charge you to sign up with them. You may also be hired directly by a company to mystery shop for it. Provide your contact and other personal information. If you are hired by a third party or Internet business, be wise about sending your personal financial information online. As with any instance sending information online to a person or organization you've not met, be wary of giving out your bank or financial information to someone you don't know or trust. Once you are hired or accepted for membership, the business will have an area on its website where you will select shopping assignments and after you complete them, enter the required feedback about your experience.
