The Mystery Shopping thread - part 5

Someone in RE needs geography lessons. Apart from the zillion pharmacy jobs the Glasgow page is showing casino's in London and Newcastle. Apparently London is 1 mile from Glasgow. Aye right. Maybe on an RAF fighter plane.

Anyone know what Customer Perspectives are like to work for? I've just agreed to do a visit for them.

I use Firefox on my mac and have no trouble at all with RE reports - and only did one yesterday too. You do need to close the job right at the end after saving each page and making sure there is nothing unanswered first though. The page layout can go a bit odd but all the options will still show right at the top or on the right of the page so you might need to scroll a bit. HTH!

And I got paid by Bare and have just assigned myself 2 more jobs

And is the GR bank paperwork the longest ever? 24 pages........

Had to cancel a job for tomorrow - my glands are like golfballs

I have done work for them and found them excellent.

BTW I have just had 2 emails from RE asking me to do the pharmacy jobs. They sound a bit desperate now as they have increased the fee a little. Although the reimbursement still does not cover what some people on here have paid for hay fever tabs. It is September now the hay fever season is past.

Has anyone else had these begging emails.

Congratulations! :T And welcome to the club! :T

I don't know why but I've come over all nervous this afternoon - think it's because I've accepted a couple of jobs I don't actually want to do! It's kind of taken the shine off all the others!

Hi,
I have just started MS, done about 6 jobs for GR and 2 for RE. Really excited tonight as I noticed a casino job on RE and thought it would be a good night out. Anyway after reading all the info, it said that it was not available to me. Is this usual, are some jobs kept for more experienced MS'ers.

I don't believe it - the damn pharmacy jobs have been pushed forward again :mad: . Take the hint - we don't want hayfever tablets!!!!

pmsl I have just completed a pharmacy one! I was going there anyway for my prescription yesterday so thought it would be a good chance to break me into the mystery shopping experience lol.

Anyhoo with RE, I have just submitted my first report for this assignment (at approx midday). Do you know how long it is before they approve your assignment report so I can choose another. As im a newbie my account is set to probabtionary so I can only do one assignment at a time and have to wait for approval. I want to do another.

And... with gfk I took the exam (lol) yesterday and filled out the census and I got a message on screen saying "Thank you for completing the application process! An email will be sent to you when your application has been processed and you have been added to the mystery shopping panel." Does anyone know how long this email takes?
