The Mystery Shopping thread - part 5

Hmmm, I don't know - the staff member said the computer had accepted my application without ID. I just wondered if the rules were different for savings accounts than for other types of accounts. The MS company had said you must use your own details, but I left thinking well, I wonder how far I would have got if I'd used false details - would I still have been approved?

I AM BACK. Hola to all my friends. I have missed you all. I swear to God I had withdrawal symptoms from not seeing the forum but I promised hubbie I would forget about MS'ing. Except I kept getting texts offering me jobs.

But tonight on the flight back I couldn't help watching the check in process. Miserable cow never even smiled. Hubbie set off the alarm coming through the security thing. Bloke (Spanish) said ach it is OK you look fine just go through. Although he is so tanned he looks like an Arab Not PC I know.

Then the steward asked me to sit in the Emergency exit and showed me how to open the door. Hubbie got put a few rows behind so he wasn't best pleased but they said they needed people who looked responsible!!!! Moi. But I am thinking whoopidoo. Anything goes wrong and at least I am off down the shute 1st.
I have only had a quick look at the forum so congrats on the assorted babies

Wonder if Ellie MS'ed the midwife, like did she smile and make eye contact as she plonked the gas & air on me.

Anyway all that is your peace over....HP is back. And Timmne my inbox is now clear.

In the words of Brucie nice to see you all...to see you nice.

PS It rained the 1st week but it was warm rain. 2nd week was scorching. I have put on pounds and pounds. Eating all those tapas. Better not take any MS's where you have to eat meals. Gyp would be stuck over in Almeria..not a burger joint or fast food restauarant anywhere there.

Are you having a laugh? Do you really think that these companies - as tight as they are - really check CCTV?!?!?! And in a busy bar are going to bother trying to track down a couple of drinks out of those that are sold during the period you're there. get real! It's mystery shopping not MI5:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

They do check the CCTV some of them out of interest and some do spot checks especialy if you report something not quite right some people will try to nail you down.
I worked in a shop and checking CCTV was a routine job.

There is no need to be so rude either, Taggie was merely highlighting something that is written all over in different briefs.
Don't forget that companies pay an approximately 10 times what you are getting paid per job and these are successful companies that did not make money by throwing it away. Don't you think they'd like to verify that what they are paying for is done and not just made up!!!!

I didn't mean to be rude - It just makes me laugh that people are taking these jobs so seriously.;)

Speaking of companies taking it seriously etc - I still can't get over Becles' (was it Becles?) problem with the MS company not submitting the report because she hadn't handled the item - and this was because of the appalling customer service. Surely this is EXACTLY what the company is paying to find out?!

I think this particular MS company keeps emailing me with a list of these jobs that still need doing - wouldn't touch this job with a bargepole after what happened to Becles!
