The Mystery Shopping thread - part 6

Same here - 3 cancelled for next week. Very unhappy, I was so thrilled to have got them. I guess they are all the same company - electrical type places. Was worried I'd done something to upset them but I guess if there are a few of us it can't be anything I've done.

Does anyone have any idea why?

EDIT - just a theory, I had 3 cancelled - two of them were competitors, and the third was for the same pc shop I am already scheduled to visit next week, so would have been 2 visits to the same shop in one week. Maybe they didn't mean to put 2 jobs up for the same place, and maybe they are cutting back on competitor jobs??? Any thoughts?

I think it may be because we had them all lined up for same day?

Surely they could have just asked us to change, rather than cancelling?

Anyway, mine weren't all the same day, 2 for Monday and 1 for Friday.

hmm, little bit narked though, as I said, could do with the money, first time I had ever got 4 to do all in one go, was going to make a day of it!

Mine were for Thursday. 2 x electrical and a mobile phone warehouse. I emailed them to ask why (before seeing on here that others had had theirs cxd too) and am awaiting the courtesy of a reply. Got a "hot and spicy" electrical retailer job on Monday which is still listed , waiting with baited breath for that to go as well.

that's my theory out the window then!

Maybe they have posted too many at one time, (in other words 2 weeks worth in 1 week?) clutching at straws here.

Actually, I did wonder about that - I've never seen that many jobs posted at one time before. Maybe they wanted to spread them around different people, too.

Yes, I had one cancelled too. Must be the client's request. It has obviously got nothing to do with you. I can't help getting paranoid when companies cancel jobs on me either!
