The Mystery Shopping thread - part 6

Hmmm, I'm reading it as €20 each for every location within your assignment.

So if yours assignment has 8 locations it would be 8x€20

thats how I read it, but thought that would be quite expensive, though I guess it would be nothing compared with the cost of a new car!


Anyone actually experience of this?

Never done bare cars but I'm 99% sure it's one fee per place visited (i.e. 6 dealerships = 6xfee).

Has anyone been paid by Frontline Focus for pizza jobs in November? The website says by the end of Jan. Also, do you know if I can check on the site to see if it's holding my bank details - I don't remember giving them. I have emailed but had no response.
Thanks

Isn't it funny that all the jobs in my area for the department store with the yellow bags are still available!? I wonder if this has anything to do with the minimum spend now being £25.00 from £10.00 and we only get £10.00 as the fee? :rolleyes: Cheeky beggers!

Could all the people that have\are having problems with the RE website please email
Kelly Hunt and tell her what problems you have etc.

Kelly.Hunt@retaileyes.co.uk



She has responded to my email earlier this week and her IT bods have said there is nothing wrong with the site.

Must be my (and your ) imagination then :rolleyes:

Dear blindman


Thank you for your feedback regarding the new shopper site.

We take all of our shoppers comments seriously and look into any problems our shoppers may be experiencing. After speaking to our technical team I have been advised of the following in response to your email:

1. Slow system - We are unable to replicate the slow system and speeds as detailed in your email, however we can do spot checks at certain times if you can tell us what times specifically, you are having issues.

2. New site - The graphics have been implemented in an efficient manner and are not bandwidth hungry. We have repeated and reused images so as long as your ISP and computer caches correctly this would not slow the site speed down too much if at all.

3. Web traffic - There is not any bandwidth issue with our web server. We have moved to a new dedicated faster web server who quote web traffic capabilities far higher than we use.

4. Search facility – This removed to encourage shoppers to use their defined areas quickly, which means we can offer a greater variety of filter options to make viewing assignments much easier.

We are also concerned that you feel the new website has not been implemented properly, other than the speed issues have been experiencing any other problems which we may be able to investigate.

Kind regards
Kelly Hunt
Marketing Executive

I received a cheque last week for a November pizza job from them. I won't be doing it again. By the time you've stanley knifed the pizza and aranged it for multiple pictures upside down etc, I was totally put off eating it- and it was cold.

I must have a different one to you. I have to spend a minimum of £5 on the beauty counter and get a total fee of £15 so I'm happy with that.

That is right, I've recently completed a "circuit" of 2 dealerships, with the total fee being 2 x 20= 40 Euro.

All you people who spend ages trying to input to RE - why not answer the questions in word, paste the answers into their input site, and email them the resulting Word file the first time their site crashes? You are then in an excellent situation to take them to the small claims court when they don't pay you for the job... (yes, I mean it. I am not suffering on this wave but I am fed up with the way they treat us!)

Thanks for this jobbingmusician, great idea. I am having several thick moments today - could you tell me how to paste onto RE because I can never do it lol and therefore I am not sure what you mean by the sentence I have highlighted in red. Sorry - should change my name to Dumbo x
