Tonight I will drive 90 miles to enjoy one of the finest dining experiences available. I will enjoy fine wine, a $45 steak, some overpriced side dishes, and a perfectly prepared dessert. I will be treated like royalty. Then I will come home and write about it. Fine dining mystery shops are what we work toward as new shoppers (well, that and a cruise). Finally, the day comes when we have shopped enough fast food and casual dining restaurants and turned in enough well-written, on-time reports that the companies trust us with their high-end clients. The downside is it's really easy to get used to the finer things in life. So much so that it's difficult to go without them. I know some of you know what I'm talking about! It's difficult to go back to a 1/4 pounder with cheese and limp French Fries when you've had carpaccio, lobster mac and cheese, and the most tender filet on the bone. Not to mention a $25 glass of wine that's actually worth it. Which is why I will drive 90 miles tonight. Restaurant clients have rotation requirements. This particular client only allows the same shopper to visit every 6 months. Per location. That's the catch. We can get our fix, but we have to be willing to travel a little further if we've already been to the closer locations. I'm willing.
