The Mystery Shopping thread - part 5

ellie9ellie

Not sure what it is with GAP tonight then. I got a call at 4.00pm asking me to do a job tonight. Explained that DD was asleep so he said the store was open until until 8.00 and could I please please please go as I've never let them down before. Fair dos the shop isn't too far away and I wanted printer ink (so the reimbursement for a purchase came in very handy) and he gave me three times the fee. I did it cause it suited me but I HATE that computer shop as there's never any staff (I've ranted about them before). Since I'm not doing much next month I thought I'd get one in whilst I could - and anyway I think SJW has nicked all my local jobs lol!!! Got a GAP pizza job tonight - going to do it on DH's birthday (he will be off work as he's having a knee op so that's lunch sorted lol)

Anyway off to put DD to bed and get on with the ironing - what a joy!

Lose the contract, what a total fool!

Course that's going to happen, it will be for a number of issues, not because one shop wasnt filled.

I had the gap call today too. even when I explained I had done the exact same scenario two weeks ago in the store he still kept asking and said it was ok. I've now done this store 3 times in the last 6 weeks and have another two booked. I got the 3x fee too.

My email did mention that I felt this was very unprofessional - and unfair pressure!

I know, i saw that, what are we all going to do with ourselves tommorow night. may have to go and get a real life:rotfl:
Booked a gap pizza job for sept - I've just noticed the 2 options, am I right in thinking that the second option is just the big pizza and no need to order starter.

BARE seem to have lots of problems at the moment. Their phone system is problematic (or their employees don't know how to use the phones), their last payment run failed (promise to pay this week I think), staff don't understand the mystery jobs they are in charge of, many e-mails I receive twice, sometimes I receive e-mail saying I have been assigned a job (when I have not), sometimes staff assign me jobs without me asking and expect me to decline if I don't want them, they are losing the airline contract (just after I have done a short haul flight and am now qualified for long haul), their changeover to a new way of working (geographical rather than assignment-based) is a joke when even those in charge of assignments don't understand them!

In short, everything is a c0ck-up!

Do you know who the airline contract is going to? I wouldn't mind doing some of these if I had more confidence about being reimbursed.

Just make sure you pay notice to the crust as I ordered a deep one and that was only allowed in medium :mad:
