Why? So jdan9 has used free wifi in xxx and xxx WHILE NOT MYSTERY SHOPPING THEM - how does this break any T & C?

The only drawback in using free wi-fi while you are actually mystery shopping an outlet is that it is not secure - potentially the staff could read what you are transmitting, and then your cover would be blown for evermore......

I think it was the clients' names that Timmne was tutting at.

You're looking at £170-£330, all depends on the usual stuff like build quality, screen, keyboard. Some come with XP, some come with Linux, hence the large variation for pretty much the same.

I know what you mean JM - I didn't actually mention Ts & Cs; I just think there's no need to mention client names here - we all know the two names used are regular MSing clients so surely it's better to not mention them at all?

All the client needs to do, to find out who's discussing their MSing schemes is google "John Smith Ltd" and "Mystery Shopping" - if the above post's names are left in, then the client would be brought directly to this thread.

The less client attention we get, the better, surely?

Need a bit of help please. I have 2 ABAI petrol jobs today. They are very close to each other and the competitor station is the same. Does that mean I can visit that once only and use it for both reports, or do I have to go into it twice in 5 minutes to buy some chewing gum? I can't get hold of ABAI

I've never been in this situation myself, but I recall that someone else contacted ABAi in the summer about this. They were told it was fine just to do one visit.

I can't see them having a problem with that, especially since you have tried to contact them.

I had this situation and I just visited the competitor once and used the same receipt number for both reports. It was accepted without any problems.

I guessed that would be the case; just wanted reassurance!
