not normally with your own money.. i know how they used to do it for lowe's since i used to be a manager there. They would give the person like 20-50$ cash tell them to go pick up something down an aisle and see if they get helped. And also See if you get greeted at the door and the registar. See if they ask you do you want to put it on your lowe's card. Stuff like that. So basically you go in you ask all sorts of questions to help. You ahve remember everyone you talk to you and enough info about them to be specific. And normally they will let you keep the shit you buy. =) So not so bad. but again it doesnt pay a whole lot.
