    I haven't had that passing the note thing... but I did get a shop where a colleague came over and very pointedly picked up the demo handset and gave it to the MOS who was talking to me! :D

    Also had a RE station job where there was a sign stuck on the receipt printer: "Treat every customer as a mystery shopper". I wasn't treated as a MS...

    Yeah, sorry again, DebtHater. Just bored here. I guess I could hang up the laundry (or have a sniff at that tub of vanilla ice cream I bought today... I'm sure there is some chocolate sauce lurking somewhere.....:naughty:)

    I was on the verge of going to bed but someone said that over 150 jobs had been uploaded so too good to miss. It's probably all 'food on the go' though which is usually not practical for me.

    Maybe I'll just spend some time doing my finger exercises (for the FFF:T)

    This has just reminded me of one of my visits the cashier staff actually wrote " mystery shopper " on a piece of paper so they were all lovely to me offering me tea and coffe whilst I waited but the person I was there to visit never got the message so the service wasn't brilliant - I even told GR that in my report !!!!


    I had the same sort of thing, I normally do video Mystery shops and have had no real problems as such, I was doing a non video shop and the MOS said I love your handbag and nervously said you don't have a hidden camera in there have you? scuse me I said? Hidden camera? opened the bag and said I have a phone that can take photos? she breathed a sigh of relief and said I am so hyped up because we are getting a mystery shopper in with a hidden camera and I just thought it might be you:cool: Just as well I didn't have the hidden camera..Bless her! it would have all been on tape.

    Hi I guess everyone else has also got problems with RE I was halfway through entering a report. So I have only got one done. What is the normal procedure when this happens please? I have sent an email but probably not to the correct member of staff as I did not have their details on my print outs. So I have said I will try again in the morning. Very annoying as I am tried and have lots of other reports for other places to also get done in the morning before I go out for my next batch of ms's.

    I've often wondered about the video MSing thing. Is it fairly straightforward? Do you feel like someone out of a James Bond film:cool:? Are you required to point it at the MOS face and, if so, is this tricky? Do they supply the equipment and how do you submit the film? Is there a written report or do they just use the video?

    Lastly, do they supply the cyanide pill in case you get rumbled......;)?
