Secret shopper survery co-worker received

[snugglegirl05]

A co-workers of mine, who graduated high school in 1987, told me about a secret shopper survey she recently received.

For the question what age range was the employee who checked you out, the secret shopper checked off 18 to 24.

Since companies use secret shoppers to give feedback on their employees, exactly how accurate are the results?

Do these secret shoppers really pay enough attention during the entire transaction?

Wow. Wouldn't it be funny if that place had NO employees within that age range ...

I am really, really bad at guessing people's ages. I am 60 and to me literally everybody out there looks like they're about 25. I'd have to either leave that blank, or look for the "No freakin' idea" box.

No fair! I graduated high school in 1987. The other day, a repairman asked me if the picture of a friend's baby on my fridge was my grandson. Sob.

My ex-woof's youngest is graduating from HS this week... She's 64...

I also graduated in 87. My eldest child is 16, but I know a guy same age who has grand kids. It just depends on when you start...

One of my cousins had several great-grandchildren by the time he was 55...

A co-worker of mine celebrated his 32nd birthday, and showed off photos of his grandson...

I hope in your jurisdiction there's either a "Romeo and Juliet" exemption, or the age of consent is ridiculously low, because clearly either your co-worker or their kid had sex before they were 16 years old.

I was just going to mention my former roommate, who had her first grandchild at age 38 . . .

A friend was a great grandmom at 42.

I had a neighbor who became a grandmother at 36. Both she and her oldest had their first children at 18.

My mother had me when she was 19. She used to tell me she wanted me to "wait until <she's> 40" before I made her a grandmother...

My mother had me when she was 36. I'm 50, my brother is in his early 40s, and neither of us is in a relationship.

In my experience, it depends. Sometimes they're dead accurate in the reports on our store, other times it's literally a matter of detective work to figure out who it was they could have interacted with on that day and time.

When I was growing up, a lady down the street from us became a grandmother at 30. She was 15, and her daughter was 15.

Our mother died at 54, still not a grandmother. They came along nearly 10 years later. And there's only 2 of them.
