    I have been a regular mystery shopper for A Customer’s Point of View for a few months, doing several transit shops every week, and I 5hink they’re a great company to work for! Reports are easy to fill out, and scheduling ships is easy: any M-F, 6-7AM, & 4-7PM, with routes scheduled every month, to be submitted by the end of the month.
