The Mystery Shopping thread - part 6

The pubs that were on RE last night were a real mixed bag with no apparent common brand. I suspect they are all the ones that have received bad reports and need doing again.

The jobs go so quickly that you have to accept them first and then research the place later:rolleyes: Some people have got the ones that only do cheap meals but the ones I have chosen I will probably struggle to keep within the spending limit as usual. The places look nice but I'm not surprised to hear that some on the list have given people food poisoning:p

I'd like the chance of doing a job for RE. Every time I log in or look at my minimized page, my 'Job Type' and 'Job Features' filters are all blank and I have to reset them before I can see any jobs. The problem is they don't disappear for about 10-15 mins after I reset them so the RE people can't understand my problem. I have only managed to nab one job since November... Mr auntypog is having the same trouble. Anyone else had this problem and got it fixed?:mad:

No I haven't Auntypog. But have you tried ringing RE and speaking to one of their IT bods directly. One of the other posters here had a problem with their old site for ages. Though she had specified Glasgow she kept getting jobs in Inverness etc.

Haven't seen you on here for a while. Nice to see you again. Hope all is well with you.:beer:

That is a good suggestion. Done and they are looking into it...

I was just wondering if anyone has ever got any work from LRA Worldwide. Their clients seem to be mostly hotel chains. I understand they're American, but I'm curious if anyone has ever heard from them for assignments in the UK & Ireland.

I have my first phone shop job for GFK tomorrow and the assignment notes are 11 pages long! I am SO terrified I am not going to remember everything! The rate is good though, much better than RE who are the only other company I have done any work for so far.

Hi, first of all Congratualtions on doing your first job, one thing i remember to do is read through the notes and write down or type into you phone key things to look out for.....that way you can check as you go in/come out.....also rememner to make a not of left/right/opposite/time in/time out... as i usually forget this

Hope this helps, you will be surprised at how much you remember,if you have to fill the form in when you leave the shop...But not close, maybe in a coffe shop, whilst everything is still fresh!!

Good luck!;)

The phone shops that came on Bare yesterday were all in towns from A to Battersea, do Bare usually release assignments in phases?
I'm waiting for the rest of B and C to come on!
