The Mystery Shopping thread - part 5

Becles

lil miss sunshine - It depends on how well known you are. It will look odd if they say "hello Mrs Smith" as you walk in, when you've booked the appointment as Mrs Brown!

If you can't remember it all, try and scribble down notes where you can.

Good luck for tomorrow sinderella.

Try jotting down the things you have to take note of in a little notebook. It's low tech (good idea about the phone, sinderella), but it's less obvious than carrying around an A4 folder! You can glance at your questions just before you go in, and then jot down the answers as soon as you get out. That way, if you've missed anything, at least you're still close enough to go back and check!

This is what I did on my first face to face job last week. I wasn't bothered about people seeing me writing things in a notebook - I'm forever jotting things in a notebook even when it's got nothing to do with MSing!

Nearly forgot - good luck with the job interview Sinderella!

hi lil miss sunshine

1. read your notes and the q thoroughly before you go.
2. If you're worried about remembering stuff try to get a chance to type it in your phone while looking normal!
3. Remember left and right and you should be ok - write it all down as soon as you're out of there. When I was a beginner I spent as much on coffee as I earned in fees to go somewhere and write it down!

Off to bed soon folks - I got an interview tomorrow for a part time job - wish me luck. Only thing is if I get it I'll have to make a choice about whether I want it or not!

Best of luck Sinders. Em your not following me into Asda perchance.

Oh my goodness, not been on here since this morning and its all doom and gloom - food poisoning with RE sandwiches and unwanted attention in betting shops. SHOCKING. Its no wonder all the sandwiches are still on RE esp with the reduced fee ! I did 3 MS today (my most ever in a day) and it all went well, thank goodness and thankfully it didn't rain while walking from shop to shop. Good luck sinders - go get some sleep.

I don't know why I even bother with them anymore but as they have a petrol job near me I thought well why not. I clicked on the screening questions then the select a date and clicked "Add to basket" And it says in view basket no jobs selected. And in read it says I need to select a date.

Well I flaming have set a date. Aaaaarghhh:mad:

I laughed at the betting shop question. I am a cheeky sod. I'd just have said "£50 pal but I am worth every penny" Bloke would probably have fainted.

Hi, on the alert thread, there is an Abai 'novelty shop', which shop is this - not sure if you are allowed to say?
