Today I simply bought some small items from the supermarket with another person and was kind of surprised when the cashier gave me my receipt along with this:
It was basically a piece of paper that had information on how I could evaluate the service that I received and as an incentive I would apparently get the chance to win $2000. The thing was that the person I was with didn’t get one of these as well, so I’m guessing this was a random thing.
For myself, I personally think the odds of winning are a little too low and so those incentives don’t really encourage me to fill it out. Instead, I know that in these cases a lot of companies use this to evaluate their employees and so I figured that I would take the time to give my honest feedback. It can get rather tedious at times and here is an example:
It took me about 10 minutes and basically it feels like one of those profiling quizzes. When I think about it, I often see all these advertisements online about taking surveys and making money from it. Some of them just seem like such a time waster and the reward is only say a $1 credit as you have to do a ton of them to get anything worthwhile. An important thing to keep in mind though is that in many cases the purpose of some the money making surveys that you see are solely to get your personal information which people sell to telemarketing companies. Of course it is not true for all of them, but in many cases it is and so I would normally be weary of them.
Hopefully the employees from the store I went to will get some positive feedbacks from their supervisors as a result of this and if I do happen to win anything then that would be all fine and dandy as well.
