The Best Mystery Shopping Companies to Work For I’ve been mystery shopping since I was 16 years old and to date, I’ve done more than 5,000 mystery shops! I’ve mystery shopped local grocery stores, an Ikea, fast food establishments, restaurants, and liquor stores. I’ve even been asked to pretend like I’m shopping for a car – took a test drive and everything, plus earned myself a cool $60 for each dealership I went to that day. I’m usually paid $8-$25 per mystery shop, plus reimbursement for my purchases. There have been months where I earned more than $5,000, but most months I earn an extra $400-$500 a month for mystery shopping. What is Mystery Shopping? For those of you who aren’t familiar with mystery shopping it is a job where a company pay you to pose like a regular customer and then provide feedback to the company on things like how clean the store was or how well the employees interacted with you. Be Careful of Mystery Shopping Scams A few rules: NEVER pay to join a mystery shopping company. My Favorite Mystery Shopping Companies

In the light of the amazing recent success and cultural impact of several nonfiction films, a group of curators, myself included, were chewing over what the BFI might do specifically for documentary films and television. It soon became obvious that we were not sure exactly what it was that we were trying to discuss. I’m usually loath to do anything that takes lustre away from Sight & Sound’s ten-year poll of the Greatest Films of All Time but a new poll seemed to me the most obvious solution to getting a full view of the documentary canon. What’s remarkable about the Top 50 documentaries list is that it feels so fresh. The top 50 1. Dziga Vertov, USSR 1929 (soundtrack here by Michael Nyman) 100 votes David Abelevich Kaufman is documentary’s Jumpin’ Jack Flash. Man with a Movie Camera is a ‘city symphony’ film of a kind not uncommon in the 1920s. 2. Claude Lanzmann, France 1985
