The Mystery Shopping thread - VIII

Scotties_Mum

Hi, any help appreciated please.


On the Bare 'circuit' jobs, does anybody take notes in with them on prices? Do you get quote from salesperson, or write down offers yourself?

Sorry, probably really stupid, obvious questions, but hey!

Thank you. X

Hi - not a stupid question at all.

As long as you remember the exact spec of the car you are going in about you don't need to take anything in with you. The sales person will print you out a quote. If they don't offer you one - you can ask. HTH x

They mean that the same mystery shopper (you) can't shop that pizza place again before another shopper does.

I asked them this question yesterday about the burger places.

I wouldn't mind but it keeps coming up that there is a job in my area. When I check its usually Kent - I live in South Wales. I'd like a haircut but.........

That is a rotten shame! I saw my local place come up today - online ordering too!! How easy is that!? I thought that as I had done an order from them last month I couldn't do it again until I had ordered from another branch..... doh! My son was begging me but I can't afford to buy the stuff without being paid (also my conscience allows me to eat it when I am being paid to do so but not otherwise....;)). Now I've seen your post it's too late as the job is gone!

Oh, well, will know next time... will it automatically bar me from this job if no-one else has shopped them in between? I didn't want to take it and then have to cancel and them get all cheesed off with me (stuffed crust style, of course...:rotfl:)

you wont have to cancel it as it will not let you assign it to yourself, you'll be able to add it your basket but when trying to apply it will give you an error message:p

Thanks pinkprincess! I am truly kicking myself now. I was looking forward to the challenge of answering whether the delivery driver was smiling genuinely or not when he had failed to remove his helmet in the previous question... yes, they still make you answer something for that .... maybe it's all in the eyes:cool: And his hair style? one can only imagine - kind of helmet-shaped, I think!!

Re the BARE jobs I always take a notebook in with me with the spec written in it and jot down the prices they tell me plus finance, special deals etc. When they disappear to speak to boss as they normally do it's easy to flick over a page and jot down some notes then flick back. I always write their best price in there with a big question mark beside it & let them see it , if they say why have I done it I tell them I don't think it's good enough.
