Comment on SASSIE mystery shopping software and HS Brands’ Tom Mills by Mike Mershimer

Thanks for the clarification John! Tom’s always a little shakey on dates. When in doubt, always say she’s younger than you really think! We are proud of the relationship between our business and yours. Thanks for commenting John!

Ahhh, those were the days – when you could draw everything you needed to know on a piece of paper!

Tom was great to work with – at the time we had NO idea what the mystery shopping industry was about and Tom’s patience and insight was critical to getting SASSIE up and running. It was also the exact right time and the exact right industry to build a web application for: mystery shopping is perfectly suited for the internet and the tools had just barely become robust enough to support the building a big application.

P.S. Those dates are a little off – as you can see from the gold plaque on Tom’s blueprint, SASSIE was “conceived” in 1999! But that’s OK – SASSIE likes it when people think she’s younger than she actually is!

Charlie Munger praises the cash register as one of the inventions that permitted large scale retailing. It might be helpful to have this story circulate and get updated.

Nice post.

I wonder if there's ever been a case where someone was able to "wipe the slate clean" with gambling winnings – or anything else, for that matter.

As a franchisor of Outback Steakhouses and Brinker brands, I whole heartedly agree. If your franchisee is refusing or even negative toward an audit, you have problems. Bigger problems than the audit.
