The Mystery Shopping thread - part 6

Help, I've just done my very first MS assignment. It was with GfK. I have entered the results of my first questionnaire. I got to the end and pressed 'Next' and it logged me out. Now when I go back to Visits Scheduled the visit is still there and Enter Results is still an available option. How do I check my questionnaire has been submitted? ARGH. I'll be so annoyed if I have to do it again, it took me ages!! Any help much appreciated.

I absolutely agree - I have no concerns about admitting that I used to get every penny out of RE with reimbursements. I don't shop for them now as they're just so tight - companies like RE are killing the market by being the cheapest agency to operate the MSing contract and therefore paying us less. It's making MSing a less lucrative 'profession' and so less of us are able/willing to take it seriously.

An interesting point Timmne which someone disagreed with me on. My take is by accepting crap fees from RE they eat up contracts from other companies who pay good fees. I know from several allocators they are undercutting other companies so losing them business.

Some people though said I was being unfair as some people need the money they are prepared to accept low fees.

It is similar to the time before the minimum wage was brought in as people who were desperate were taking jobs at ridiculously low wages undercutting the rest.

Go back into the results again as most of your results should still be there. It must have logged you out. Sometimes it does after a certain time.

Really sorry but if the job is still showing in your scheduled assignments then your questionnaire hasn't gone through and you have to do it again. When assignments are successfully submitted, they disappear straight away. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

Yup, actually, thinking about it, Hollypear is right, if you skip back in your 'history' or back on your browser you should be able to retrieve your results, maybe try logging in, then skipping back. Good luck! x

Congrats you guys. Never seen so many naff excuses for oogling MOS's boobs.

Us ladies don't get side benefits like that in our MS's. I have done a bra fitting but it was a female. Psst:rotfl:

You can talk Hollypear - talk about a desparate attempt to get yourself a quick squeeze! :rotfl: :eek:

Hiya,
Can anyone answer a quick question please? I have a gap pizza competitor today and in the breifing it says to order a main, a side salad and a starter plus soft drink.
So what should we order at my Italian uncle's restaurant as they dont do side salads. only a mozzarella and tomato salad as a starter or salads as main courses? I'll be fine ordering everything other than the this side salad any suggestions?

TIA

Should you really be doing this job if your uncle is the owner - I know it is a competitor but it's not exactly unbiased is it?

No it's not my real uncle it's a monkier for the restaurants name. ie too males name restaurant, that is Italian themed.
I have just found on the internet that they do a side salad, so thats my question answered.
