The Mystery Shopping thread - part 6

you should still get paid. i did a stamp job once where the member of staff didn't do anything she was supposed to. it made the questionaire very easy to fill in and i still got paid.

I have aplied for a few new MS jobs lately and one company as asked for my National insurance numeber i have not come across this before and i am a bit reluctant to give it as i dont want other people using it is this correct for them to ask for this and why do they need it as we are self employed.

Does anyone know if you get the amount you spend in the shop reimbursed from ABAi for their petrol shops?

From the briefing notes it looks as though you just get the fee, and the amount you spend comes out of that...

I think it depends if you'll be employed by them or you will be contracted by them. Normally the FAQ section has that.

You can mention the name of the mystery shopping company if you wish.

Urgent help needed! :-)

In the GAP bookies job, it says I need to fill in the Pre-Experience && Profiling Questions before I do the shop. I cannot figure out where exactly this questionnaire is. Can anybody help ?

I did the stamp job today regarding the driving licence & I've got to submit a receipt - there was no purchase requirement with the job & you don't get a receipt in passport photo booths! I've emailed GAP so hope they reply.

I love the stories of the burger jobs , I've only had that happen once but it makes the report soooo easy. At the moment I seem to be getting jobs where it doesn't go to plan & the questionnaires won't submit cos they don't like it .
Stamp jobs today, Question: 'Can someone get cash out if they forget their pin?' Answer: 'Best write it down and put it safe' Question:'Can someone else(other than account holder) get the money out?' Answer: 'anyone can as long as the've got the pin' The other two questions received answers along the same lines . 'How tall was the cashier?' I don't know he/she was sitting. 'Hair style - balding, tipped, in a bun, tied back.' How about loose?? Will the questionnaire submit??? Will it hell :mad: . Not without putting in wrong answers in the tick boxes then explaining everything at the end!

Sorry! rant over, thanks for listening xx

It is part of the questionnaire, I haven't done mine yet, only printed the paperwork, but if you go to web express, put in the assignment number and click the express assignment button it will give you the option to express the report or print the paperwork. I presume you need to express the profiling questions before you do the job, then complete when you return. HTH.

But to enter the questionnaire you need to enter time in and time out or it wont let you in :-(

What did everybody do ?
