The Mystery Shopping thread - part 5

ThinkingOfLinking

Mumofjusttwo, you made a valid point; I did a job for a sandwich chain and it had some negative points in it. They rang up RE to clarify things which they were lying about; i just said if there is any discrepancy to check the CCTV and they dropped it, but I go there as a regular customer sometimes as it's 2 minutes from my university. Hope they forget me as they're busy sometimes...not been back since but will be back at university very soon; it's still freshers week so I am off right now.

I have known establishments make up lies to attempt to get a score changed. In the case of simply having run out of a menu item one place stated: we offered you such and such but you refused to wait the five minutes for it to be ready.

Little do they seem to realise we're meant to order certain items on some of these jobs. I always re-order as I'm skint so any free food is good food!!:p Same with puddings; I ensure that when they come to take the plates away from my main course, I am looking at the puddings menu so they ask me if I want one....:D

Hopefully, you were dressed. It hasn't been that warm this year.

LOL. Sometimes these queries come up 3 weeks after, as happened with me. How am I meant to remember what I was wearing 3 weeks ago?:rolleyes: But RE have my photo anyway for some of the airside assignments and other stuff so I couldn't and wouldn't lie.

I'd like Costa Coffee, but I think we've already asked about that and no one seems to know?

I used to be registered with RM but havent done anything for over a year. Just went on their website to see if I could reregister and it now says I am too old!!! Boohoo - am over the hill already. Max age is 33 apparently. Is it worth emailing them to ask if I can be reinstated? Also, I am registered with RE, and a few others. The secret codes that are used here (!) - is there a list or a person with a list that I could contact to see who else I could register with?

But I'm 34 and I got a lovely email off them saying that they've placed me on their records. Does this mean they'll never write, call, email??? That makes me sad

I'd like it too; I have not had any answers on that one...and GAP never loved me enough to offer me the green logo'ed place. I know TNS deals with the blue ones.

Just a quick question but everyone seems to be doing quite a few MS's here and there. Am I just unfortunate to live in Scotland (nr Glasgow) and there's very little jobs up here? Or is it because I'm new and it takes a while for the firms to start offering more than one or 2 a month.
I check daily on all the ones I've signed up to but there never seems to be anything.

THank you everyone for the advice. IU do believe that it was unprofessional of RE to pass the comments down to me but never mind.

Have another assignment on Friday so can't be too bad.
