The Mystery Shopping thread - part 5

Hi all, I'm a newbie.

Only had 1 job thus far but have 2 lined up for tomorrow.

Thought I too was special in Bares eyes and now I know I'm not boo hoo

Anyway, can anyone help me with a qquick querry on one of the jobs I have tomorrow. It's with a bank (one of the scottish ones but not a Royal)

Oh and don't you hate it when you go through the whole Gap testing to find the job you fancied is gone once you've pass your certificate !!! grrrrr

I got that email from BARE too. Upset now, I thought I was special!!! I'm probably one of the few who actually hasn't done any work for them!

I did too, although I've done three jobs for them. I felt sorry for them as it was raining in Antwerp, so I've invited them to a barbecue. I'll hand out questionnaires afterwards for them to complete.

I have to admit, as someone newly registered with them, I did think it odd that they send out a list of jobs with no real hint of what the jobs entail - I mean, that's quite an important consideration in whether or not you accept a job.

I agree - Aba-i are like this too - surely having an online system it'd be easy to view the scenario like they do on RE or even Gap.

I accepted a catalogue store with Abai and then when I got the scenario, I had to buy something and take it back 45 mins later or something. Well, I could only do the job in my lunch hour, so I wasn't going to have time to complete it. So it wastes their time and mine in accepting it and then having to decline.

Not sure if I'm brave enough to suggest they add the scenarios on - don't want to get struck off!

Well today is the day of the big bucket meal for Gap - and they still haven't responded to my email sent on Thursday! Can anyone advise me please?

Firstly, is it ok to buy extra stuff not listed in the assignment brief as long as I also buy the bucket as specified?

Secondly, does anyone know about this extra bottle of orange or water that shows up on the notes on web express, but is NOT covered by the reimbursement? Do I have to buy it?

SC, have a bottle of water instead of a coke/lemonade etc. that is included in the price.

Did you get any help with your query? Have you done the assignment now?

P.S Welcome to the thread!:D

Thanks.

Are you sure about this? We got a bucket last week and there was no drink included.

I think this time we will get the family feast instead, and I think that does have a bottle, but it doesn't say what the drink options are on the brief. Do you think if I just get the family feast and ask for the drink to be orange or water that will satisfy the requirements of the brief???


Edit - I see the smileys are STILL not working for me!
