Have you ever seen ads looking for 'secret shoppers'? That's basically what the media people did here, it sounds like.

Maybe ACORN ought to take a cue from stores, and run some external control tests on their own service providers?

I got the impression from the article that it was conservative activists, not the media, that were involved in this. - znufrii Sep 15, 07:33 9
- It sounded to me like Conservative Michael Moores. It doesn't change what the employees did. -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 07:36 5
  - and I'm not judging what the employees did, one way or another. -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 07:38 4
    - You should be. -- nm - Ender Sep 15, 08:11 3
      - why? -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 08:15 2
        
        Because even if you don't think it was an institutional problem, what those employees did was absolutely wrong. -- nm - Ender Sep 15, 08:19 1

  - yeah, because Senators are known for weighing and judging all the facts of a case before making a decision. *snort* - znufrii Sep 15, 07:37 1
    - It was a pretty deserved punishment. 1 incident = isolated... 2 = sketchy...3 = a systemic problem. - Will Hunting Sep 15, 07:40
Except the Secret Shoppers aren't buying heroin or crack. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 15, 07:33
