The Mystery Shopping thread - VIII

Guys, I'm trying to do a TNS supermarket visit... on the first page, some of the departments have a pair of brackets " ( ) " after them - does this mean something? Are those the ones I'm meant to do, or ones I'm not meant to do, or do they mean nothing? TNS really don't make this easy do they?

Thanks I will remember this about station jobs for next time. As it is as well as me releasing them RE were taking them off of me the same time becuase of the other one being shut down. I don't know whether they are all being checked or something. But means I've lost 3 jobs so far this week, also had to release another for a different company as I have 7 in 1 location and 1 elsewhere and just couldn't fit them all in on same day oh well! Today - Thursday is now quiet for me with two phone calls only and I have everything crossed that I get a job for sometime after Sunday today or else I have nothing for the rest of June!!

I emailed this morning when this happened with a store that 'was taken by another shopper' on both my account and my OHs, apparently its a system glitch, and she just assigned me the job manually.

Thanks I phoned them and got a visit assigned :T

I don't think it means anything. If it is in the list soon after you log, I have found that they have always been in the store. So I would just visit every department on the list brackets or not.

has anyone else had an email from bare and thus been allocated some of the car calls? Looks quite complex and a lot of work so I might have to ask others that have done these for some help. I do only have 3 calls to make whereas the ones I initially applied for were either 5 or 7.

ive got this car call thing to endure now but so far everything else i have been done with them has been fine, they were the first company to offer me anything in april. make sure you have bank details done correctly for international payment and double check your bank fees are low

ive got my first job with GFK this week which has now turned into my first 5 jobs all in one week so i am hoping they are ok. ive just printed a TON of stuff so hoping its not ridiculous amounts of work for the low wages :rolleyes:
