The Mystery Shopping thread - part 6

libertysurf

Two recent jobs with ME required me to reveal I was a mystery shopper. I checked, but it was so! Seems very odd to me and I am not sure I will do this again as I will be recognised as one, and my value will be reduced.
Anyone else had to do this, and what do you think?

I have been told that the bookies with GAP will be on by next weekend at the very very latest.

Is that the weekend coming 29/30 Nov or 6/7 Dec?

Anyone getting up at 2am on Friday to check for stamp jobs then? I'm presuming that's when they become available for the rest of us non fast food eaters!

Yeah, I've done this - it doesn't really bother me. It was for an electrical store that's now on RE and they were just like, oh right, that's fine thanks. They were used to it, as that's how mystery shopping works for that firm. You'll probably find you can't do it again for another 3 months or something, by which time they'll have forgotten what you look like anyway.

Stamp jobs on just now. When I asked about the bookies they didn't have a def date but said to check for them from this weekend onwards.

does anybody know if they put restrictions on who can do these?

The last round of them didn't, only the amount of jobs you could accept.

Ooh Tizzy you got me all excited then and I had to double check - see above - stamp jobs only available to those who have eaten the required no. or chickens or burgers at the mo.

Hope it wasn't the same offie Beccles did and got chased and abused. Think it was Beckie???

It wasn't me! I think it was Flickering Ember that was chased from the offie?

It was me who didn't get paid due to the rude jewellry man not letting me handle his stuff!

Not fair... no stamp jobs showing for me at all - is this because I don't do the burgers? I don't even get offered burgers now because the quiz (ages ago) asked if I was a veggie.... I wouldn't mind but the darn place sells veggie burgers!

Anyway, unfair that I am not allowed to even SEE the stamp jobs because I am a veggie.

I couldn't agree more. Like you I am a veggie so I don't see burger jobs either. I was never sent the email about priority access to stamp shops.

The odd thing is that when I checked my completed jobs for last month I actually did 3 pizza jobs and 1 chicken job (take out of course so I can give the stuff away:p ) but there are no stamp shops showing for me either

It seems that it really is restricted to burger eaters only:mad:

Tizzy I think you need to edit your post to take out the client names
