The Mystery Shopping thread - part 6

I have got open office so I can get the spreadsheet up but I can't seem to save it so that I can attach it to an email.
I've phoned them up a few times this morning and she said try this and that but I still can't do it. In the end she said to ring on Monday and give the results over the phone but I'm still trying to see if I can send it.

With GAP chicken. If they offer you extras or max it - can you accept that or do you have to decline?
Thanks for help.

I was informed you need to order what they tell you, maxing it potentially changes the timings.

You need to order what is on the job sheet with GAP otherwise the timing is affected and you will get the job rejected and not be able to claim back what you have spent.

I have signed up with RE, Grassroots and GFK so far and I wondered... Do they ever assign visits over the weekend? i was just wondering if I need to carry on checking regularly.

Thanks is advance

don';t be put off if the questionaire takes ages to fill in - you will get quicker at it!

Read the opening post; there's a long list there constructed a while back and has been added to as main companies become more popular.

*leaves to update thread title*

I am such an idiot!!!
I had a sandwich shop with RE today and I only went and booked the one in the next town by accident. I only released when I started the questionaire. I did read the notes and the questionaire but like a div I didnt check the address.
So I have had to cancel...lesson learned.

I had a b***er of a stamp job today. I realised that I hadn't been given my receipt after I had been passed to the second cashier for the scenario, so I had to just have a hand written one. Consequently, there is no evidence of the location, no transaction number - no anything really except evidence that I bought stamps (could have been from anywhere lol). Then I couldn't get names (no badges or names on window). So whats the betting I don't get paid . I did explain but you know what they are like.

On a brighter note, I did a chicken job too - you know what its like when you ask for a receipt - you get "the look" lol. Well I got the look and a grin (which I pretended I hadn't seen!), then when he gave me my order, he verifed it by pointing out every chip, breadcrumb, salt sachet, straw, napkin etc on the tray lol. Then offered me every sauce there was available & more salt etc. I don't know how I kept a straight face :rotfl: . I think I can definately say that I was clocked lol. I felt like telling him to get on with it or he would be marked own cos my dinner would be cold time he finished lol.

WOW that's fantastic, well done!

Can anyone answer a quick question ASAP please? Going on a pub drink (TNS) shortly, I'm taking hubby, do we both have to have a drink off of the list or can he have whatever he likes? I presume if you are using the expenses, you both choose from the list? It isn't clear! TIA x
