I did a small supermarket shop for GAP tonight and I couldn't help but laugh (inside!) when I saw the till had a warning about mystery shoppers on it!!

A couple of months ago I did a drive-through burger for GAP, and as I waited at the window for my meal a whiteboard was clearly visible directly behind the server with 'LATEST GAPBUSTER RESULTS - 81% - MUST DO BETTER' emblazoned across it! I did actually mention that in my report...and it disappeared in short order!

Dumb blonde here took two with out looking duh:mad:

Even dumber blonde here made a fool of herself today. Had a job where I had to buy a coffee, now I don't drink coffee...it sends me even more doolaylee than I am normally. So anyway, looked at the menu and ordered the cheapest... an expresso..when it was served I thought blooming ek shes forgotten to add the rest of the water......yep and I then asked where to get the water from!:rotfl:Why do people buy expressos?????? Get more fluid in my sneezes!:p

LOL - I can remember ordering an expresso once, thinking it was a posh name for a coffee - I got a bit of a shock when I received it.

I'm blonde too!

Have you tried calling them? I've had need to call them a couple of times and found them pretty good on the phone.

Just as an aside, I finally got an email from RE today, explaining that as I'd forgotten to update my new mobile number (and therefore they couldn't call me), they'd reverted me to probationary. What's wrong with a quick email rather than me having to chase them?!

On a totally separate topic, I signed up with Abai this week....and despite me trying a lot of geographical areas, I can't see ANY jobs available....any hints?

Thanks!

When I visit my local yellow M shop - on asking for a reciept, a staff member shouts "batman",then starts running around to get my order, I think it is their secret code for mystery shopper - I find it very hard not to laugh.

Arbie, I think you have to put * in the area box to view all the jobs

Thanks Chaz, but I'm still getting no results. On the homepage, it asks me to "Please click on a logo below to find out about mystery shopping opportunities", but only the 'A' group is listed - I assume Abai mystery shop more than that very small group of retailers?

Yes, I am also on ABAi but can only see one retailer in the box and there are never any jobs. People on here seem to be getting quite a variety of jobs so I don't understand why I am just allocated one retailer with no jobs...? I did write to ABAi about a week ago but no reply yet... maybe they are busy searching for jobs for me to do

I tried the asterix thing in the search box but no joy......

scubaangel

banky, arbie - use the search thread tool - it was all explained quite well some time ago!

bankypanky

Thanks, Scuba, I did try a search before but maybe need to use different terms. I'll take a look...... but bedtime, right now...night night!! x

Hi Arbie, you need to add clients. Then register for each of them. I have sent you a pm.
