The Mystery Shopping thread - VIII

ive only done one job with ABA-i so far so not sure about all of the rules. I am looking for a set location on Saturday and they have a job I could do but it says you have to do it within 2 days of it being assigned. I have emailed them but they will probably be shut now. If I take it is this something they will be able to let me do on Saturday or do I need to wait until Thursday morning to apply for it?

You could wait until Thursday but if you phone them tomorrow I'm sure they'll give you the thumbs up and then you won't have the risk of someone nabbing it in the mean time!

ok thanks but do they cover my area??!!:j:confused:

Should do. They would cover wherever their clients are, and I'd assume their clients are national chains, they're the sort of companies that have MS programmes.

If its any help to you, they only really deal with a glasses shop (the one with the green logo) and its countrywide

And the brief for the assignments states you must be a glasses/contact lense wearer, and you have to make a purchase (which is refunded) for a fee

Regarding the TERN trial shop - tbh I don't think you'd even need to have done a MS for another company, you could just make it up if you wanted to. I've done that before for other companies. If you've been MSing with other companies you know what they want to hear, it's easy.

Guys, I'm working on a spreadsheet that will work stuff out out and keep a log for you etc etc, should be ready in a couple of weeks.

DebtHater, whilst your post is really helpful (which is great, keep it up!), you've really mentioned too many specifics.

Could you please edit your post, perhaps removing the purchase amount and the fee? It would take a genuis to work out which store you're talking about, so you've pretty much broken every rule in "the book".

Don't take it personally, we all need to watch what we're saying.
