Secret Shopper

 

I am a secret shopper

Getting paid to look around in an overpriced store

I need to look at the clothes and workers

I hope they do not know that I am a secret shopper

If they knew I could not secret shop at that place again

I need to ask a stupid question

To get an employee name

I need to find a bar-code number

From an item on a table

Now I am done

Now I can leave

I need to rush home to e-mail a report about the place

Then wait until the next store

On the next day
