The Mystery Shopping thread - part 6

gerkin

Some pub jobs on RE. One was in the area that I was going to be in and so was perfect for a free meal. I typed in the pub for a review and found that it was a gay pub.
Thank god I read a review first.

Why is it Ellie that RE are constantly " improving " ahem their website. The other MS'ing companies don't. ie I have never known ie GFK to change their's. If it is not broken WHY fix it is my maxim.

And to top it all off even after I had saved nearly half the report it finally threw me out and deleted everything I had done :mad: Going to attempt to do it later this evening and if they dare comment so help me god I won't be responsible for my actions!!!!

I phoned RE earlier this morning about the site crashing yesterday.She sounded most puzzled and said that they weren't aware of any problems and no one else had reported anything :mad: . Got the questionnaire done in the end today though, but it had only saved half the answers that I had inputted yesterday .

Has anyone got any advise for pizza jobs (shed ones not fast ones!). I am doing one tonight but the ordering seems complicated lol. The more I look at it, the more confused I get -think I must be brain dead today. I take it that we order one pizza (if choosing that option) one appetiser & drinks to share between two?
Can we accept deals if they fall within the ordering specs?
TIA x

Saw your reply and gave them a call. Thought it a good idea if more than one person called so they knew there was a damn problem. As soon as I said I was trying to input it yesterday she said "oh you had problems with the site being down" Hmmmm that would be a "Yes". Thankfully just logged on and the first quarter of my work saved so will now try AGAIN!!!

AAAAAh that new editor for BARE has put the items back in my account as uncomplete as they want the answers numbered. They had shown as ok. The other things I have done with bare over the weekend have had their usual scoring and no word of number questions.

I have read a few of these posts regarding the numbering issue now and although I have certain issues with BARE, I can say that the numbering your questions has always been a requirement.

If you read the guidelines on the curent sports shops then it does state that you should number your questions.

It's not a sports shop - and the notes said nothing about numbering the comments. In fact, the notes only ask for an explanation of negative answers but some of us like to give more detail even if the answers were positive, and this action appears to have been valued in the past.

Thanks ellie, it would be good if we ALL bombarded them with a call. I can't believe that they had not had any other complaints!

I have not had any Mystery Shops from RE since June 2008! I agreed to do a route of shops then when I discovered that the 6 shops involved travelling 190 miles, I said it was impossible to do in a day:beer:. They responded by asking me to do an additional one:rotfl: Since then all I see on the site is airports:mad::mad:

I have done quite a few restaurant type jobs,as Im new to this is it a case of if you have done one you dont get to do it again or is it a case of just waiting till they come up again.:question:

On Bare the car jobs, it says €20 per visit, I am right in assuming that if they give you 6 to do as part of the assignment, then thats still only 1 visit?
