When Memory Fails 🧠

As a mystery shopper, there will be times when you might forget a critical detail, miss an observation, or struggle to recall specific aspects of your assignment. It's crucial to understand how to handle these moments professionally and ethically. It happens to the best of us, and with honesty and integrity, we are more understanding than you think.  

What to Do ✅

  • ✅ Contact your scheduler IMMEDIATELY
