You basically sit at a table, fill out the survey, and raise your hand each time you're told to do so in the questionnaire which at that point one of the researchers bring you a new sample of the product, etc. It's pretty easy and I find it interesting.
At the end of it all, they browse through your questionnaire and make sure you've completed everything accurately. Then they hand you a white envelope with your money in it!
In Vancouver their testing facility lately seems to be the Croatian Cultural Centre.
