The Mystery Shopping thread - part 5

BP56134

Has anyone else had trouble with the test for GFK regarding the employment offices? I am positive my answers are correct, but cannot pass the test. I have tried for so long I've had to reschedule the visit. No answer from them yet - can anyone here help please?

Not sure where they get the average of 12 to see the Spanish jobs from

I currently have a total of just over 1000 points with them with a deduction of 30 for released jobs and spelling errors/queries

I can select those jobs no problem as can my Husband who only has 180 points with them and 0 for released jobs and spelling errors/queries

So on a percentage I have a 97% average and he has a 100% average, yet I have done 10 times the jobs he has.

I cannot see how they can set such a criteria that you have to have a perfect 12 on every job as it certainly does not seem to be the case.

Another aspect of this is that the 2 point bonus is only available if you fill in the form on the initial date- or else you get 10. If you do lots of evening jobs with them rather than daytime ones,finishing at maybe 11pm, it is likely that you will fill more in the next day- but still within 24 hours, or even 12 if you finished late- yet this is penalised. I am going to email them with my concerns- though I will of course be polite. And another thing- I had one bad month where I lost 8 points, and of course didn't earn 12 either, by cancelling 4 jobs in a row when I was ill. I can never make that up- I'm in negative equity for ever, for having one period of flu.:o

Actually I've misunderstood- yes- the two points is if you don't change a date. Still...

For those people doing the Spanish Jobs,

Don't forget there is a BOGOF on Dishes Voucher (Excludes drinks) floating around on this site,

And RE mentioned last time there was a voucher that Reimbursment was on the "Total Bill" before any gift or discount vouchers were taken off.

So as there is no Fee and only a purchase payment on these jobs it makes them a little more attractive

Hey Vicky thanks for the heads up. I have a spanish job this eve & it does not say anything about using vouchers but only you cannot do the menu deals . Where can i get a vch from, do you have a link

I've managed with just a camera so far - just upload a photo of the receipt from that.

The RE pub I can see says you must avoid football fixtures which knocks out sat pm/eve as there is World Cup qualifiers on

ThinkingOfLinking

Princess, I love football, so maybe just ring RE and say your only time off work/the babysitter is booked for is Sat afternoon so you can go and watch the game anyway...if they say no, obviously don't do it though...

Good idea, my first thought was that because it would be busy and therefore affect service times! I think DH wants a pizza now anyway, so off to check GAP

MsShopper

Does anyone know what TNS is like if you turn up to mystery shop a retailer as arranged, and it's closed for refurbishment? Do they pay you anyway? (Just had that happen to me today, and wondering whether it's fair to request payment...) Any thoughts gratefully received! :-)
