The Mystery Shopping thread - part 6
Options
Comments
-
There was a lady in a magazine I was reading who does hotel mystery shopping and was going on about how good it was. I wondered how many hotels now have her photo from the article pinned up on the reception desk
More worryingly, I wonder how many GAPburger restaurants have my photo up in the back - I've seen groups of managers (aka a "pack" of managers) staring at something when I've been clocked before - very embarassing but also concerning that hundreds of spotty teenagers know my face!
Actually - does that make me famous?0 -
On TNS "my visits" section, does anyone know the difference between statuses "booked in" and "done"?
I've got a few long-completed ones which are just showing as "booked in".[/quote
All the jobs I have done for TNS are showing as "booked in." The ones that have been paid for and the few I am waiting for payment for. I haven't had or got, any that have shown a "done" status. Its a mystery :shhh:
I have been confused about this too. I am sure I have been paid for jobs with a "booked in" status.0 -
Guys,
Remember that problem some of us had with not seeing hotels even though we had had put genuine business details in? Looks like they approve it first.
I filled my details in couple of weeks ago and received this email:

We have been away for the weekend and tried to get into a seafood place but would have had to wait 3 hours for a table!! so didnt bother and went somewhere else - spanish, think it is one which is a ms - great service but food not very nice, when I got back I had a quick look at the alerts thread and there was the seafood place just up the road from me for tonight!!! So guess where I am going tonight and for free or at least cheap so thanks to kman for the alert.0

You're very welcome - hope you get a good meal - we couldn't really justify the travelling just for a free meal...
Hope you had a good weekend away.0 -

I did a phone shop recently for GR and I thought the (significantly higher) fee for that was very poor as the scenario was detailed and the report took much longer.0 -

At the time, I switched my own phone contract, picked the best deal based on my extensive experience lol, but the old phone company rang up and the girl was insistent that she could beat my deal. I said I bet you can't, and do you know she couldn't! She was not pleased, didn't feel the need to explain why I knew the deals better than she did. :rotfl:0 -
