The Mystery Shopping thread - VII

Leila, thanks very much for that insight I suspect some of the veterans of MS are feeling exactly the same. I don't think many of us could manage 18 jobs a day! The max I've done is is 8 and my brain felt it was going to explode!

just done the tiny job on gfk!

blooming heck - the pay is pathetic.

Is my memory playing tricks on me? I'm sure I did this job a few months back and the fee was higher???

Maybe this is a different... just checked, on the last one I did receive a brochure and the fee was 6 times higher!

How busy do people expect MS to be? I ask because I'm only restarted mystery shopping in Jan. Are you talking pages of jobs being available? being rushed off your feet? I'd just be interested in what "busy" is considered to be!

busy for me is about four jobs per week. i usually find i get more jobs at the begining of the month. this is a quiet time for me. i only have one job left for april which i am doing today and i can't find any other jobs in my area.

i work full time so don't do loads of jobs.

it says you can't do this one if you did the brochure one.

it was dead easy though. you don't have to fill in a questionaire or anything. you just tick a box to say they can use your address.

Last time around did the brief say you would not receive anything in the post?

Not able to - they don't allow free email address such as hotmail, gmail, yahoo etc etc, and I'll be dammed if I'm using another email address.

OMG. Getting so fed up with RE. They have docked points because I did not fully answer a question about a person's gender and appearance. I said she had short blonde hair, provided her name, said she was small and slim and had a non-british accent.

They say they can't use 'non british accent'. Why not? Wouldn't it be offensive to say Spanish if she was Portugese or something? They also say I didn't mention gender. Hello? What does 'she' mean then??!

Grrrrrrrr
