The Mystery Shopping thread - VIII

nads

Hello all,
long time since I've been on - well it feels long! I got a kids store too from GR which came out of the blue but it did make me remember a very long time that GR had a clothing store that erm sounds like Map. Do they still have this one?

Sof ar I have £15 worth of jobs booked for June Amazing how work interferes with MS!

It does get easier, I promise. Just check through your questionnaire before you make the call, maybe make a note of any really important bits (like if you need to ask their name) and I'm sure it will be fine. Good luck.

Anyone else getting numerous emails from TNS about those silly bank phone calls? I got 3 in the last couple of days - odd thing is the first one showed an increased fee, but the subsequent emails showed the original fee?

No that's a different one, the GFK one is better as it doesn't involve ringing your own bank.

Just been for a meal out for RE. Only problem was the service was so slow that we didn't have time to stay for a dessert. It took 1 hour and 45 minutes to get the first 2 courses, so I had to get back for the babysitter but am now worrying that they won't pay me, and it cost quite a bit.

Was it a 'mexican' meal by any chance? We did one of these last night and the service was dire. took over two hours!

warning....I did that one during the week.Was on the phone for 50 mins and they asked me how I found at about their company. I said I googled it as the brief had suggested and they replied it was most odd as they weren`t really advertised on the web. Cue lots of stuttering and quick thinking on my part.

Yes the very same. I had quite a nice evening really, but would usually have complained and quite possible walked out at the slowness. They didn't seem bothered about it either, no apologies for the delay, guess this is their normal pace on a Saturday evening.

LOL can imagine it. Surprising they're not on the web though, how do they get customers otherwise?
