The Mystery Shopping thread - part 6

It is genuine. It is a well known MS which is known by 3 letters.

I did a similar one a while back where I had to register with 3 online bingo sites.

Yes, I'd echo that - it is genuine and they did them last year. The thing that puts me off, is having a credit check done as I know this affects your rating.

It's £50k income gross per household not each that makes you eligible. I think the average earnings in the UK are £25k each anyway, aren't they, so by that rating most households would fall into this category? Or do all those people earning millions skew the figures vs those on minimum wage etc?

Anyway, I'm rambling - sorry!

NO I like it when we go off topic for a bit And yes there is a big skew!

They don't seem to have much in the E Mids except banks and travel agents and I only do jobs that give me a "freebie" and a fee or a freebie, so I don't do these sort of enquiry jobs. Consequently, in about 18 months, I'm yet to do a job for them!

I know this subject came up a while back but I am still confused, can anyone help.

I am doing my 1st chicken job tonight and the instructions state drink requirement post mix (bottled drink - orange or water).

I though post mix was the typre where they mix the syrup and soda, so which am I meant to get, post mi8x or bottled

Am I just being really thick, sorry if I have put too much info I will edit.

Oops. One of my colleagues at work said she fancied trying MS'ing. I gave her some company names and she got accepted by RE. Did her 1st job Saturday.

Told me this morning she thought it a bit much to answer a million questions on what was a drink only visit. And she only realised after clicking submit she had done the whole report in CAPS. Now she's nervously wondering what they will make of it.
