The Mystery Shopping thread - VII

KILL_BILL

Ive been doing quite a few asignments for GFK however have noted that the questionare that i print off prior to the visit differs sometimes to the online questionare in respect of different questions. For instance in the printed questionate there is no mention that you have to take a staff name just notice that they are wearing a name badge. However when you get to the online question they ask wether a name badge was being worn and you have to put additional information within it as if they are aksing for the staff members name

anyone else found this ?

Keep reading the brief and visualise what you need to do. Without naming the end client, what's the visit to do? burger job, clothes retailer, etc?

Hi Hollypear - thanks. I did the test assignment nearly 3 weeks ago. I see others are still waiting from around the same time so maybe they had a 'rush' on!
Hope we all get a favourable reply soon. Jobs in my area are very thin on the ground so having to spread myself thinly (ha ha) Won't be giving up the day job anytime soon!!!!!
Have a happy and peaceful Easter everyone.

Bryssn, nto sure if you're going to see this before you go out and about but I was given a D3 form for both scenario 2 and 3 which you could perhaps pick up from any post office, fill in and take with you.

On all the ones I did, soon as I asked the question, they told me the correct answer.

Many thanks and to Whitelabel too - I didn't receive any forms by the time I left at 9.30 this morning but I didn't really expect to!!

I called in at my local stamp shop on the way & asked for the forms, and they said no such form exists - it's a D1 that I want & that has a section on it to apply for the thingy we are supposed to apply for.

I took a couple of these & filled them in on the train & at the first stamp shop the girl just said straight away I needed ID so to come back with that (Scenario 1) and at the second the woman didn't even look at the form & just said my husband would have to apply in person (Scenario 3).
I also asked other staff - out of curiosity - at both shops for these forms, & both said they don't exist, its a D1 form that I want!
They obviously exist as others here have received them but at least I tried!!!!

So both jobs just took minutes & the fee is really good - BUT - it remains to be seen whether I get paid or not!

It wasn't out of my way as I was going to one of the places anyway, and the other I just hopped off the train on the way.

Gap made me laugh though - just as I'd submitted the first report I had a reply from the email I'd sent them last night asking how I was to get hold of the form by 9am this morning when I'd only got the call yesterday afternoon about the job - the guy wrote, "oh, it looks like you've received the forms as we've just got your first report through". He obviously hadn't read the long explanation I'd had to put in the comments box. :rolleyes: I emailed him staight back explaining ...........................again!
Anyway, we shall see if I get paid or not but if I don't I'll certainly be on to them asking what else I was supposed to do as today was the last day they could be done. The only alternative was to cancel.

Off to do more reports now - busy day today. :j

Pizza on RE - One of the ones from earlier today just came up again. Looked at the notes, this is a new rule i've not seen before "service charge will not be refunded". Unfair or what !!
The reimbursement can cover the meal if you are very careful and pick the cheaper items.

Already posted on the alerts thread but quite a few nice hotels on RE for an overnight stay, money to spend in the bar and on dinner - no fee, but 2 people can go all for tomorrow night. It says you'll only be reimbursed for one person's stay, but the rooms rates are all per room, so it's the same price for 2 as for 1. Why oh why is hubby working tomorrow night :mad:
