Well I only did my first Aba-i petrol job last week (my first job for them) and as far as I can tell - the petrol jobs pay cash. Even if it was a voucher for petrol - that'd still come in useful!!! I know some of the clients do pay in vouchers but I suppose even if you didn't shop there, you could give it to someone as a birthday present and you'd save money that way?

I just found the Petrol job so straight forward. It was a dream. My deadline extension has been confirmed - yippee! The woman was very lovely and REALLY prompt with her resposnes. Very impressed!

Hi ,was just wondering, i have a petrol job comming up, i had reserved it and someone released it, whats the questionnaire like for filling this in, is it as easy as there Catalogue ones?

Cheers!! :rolleyes:

I'm not sure I'll do one of these again either. The brief says nothing about me only visiting the cafe and not the hot food counter, in fact the report questions are entirely based on hot food purchases. **Sigh!**

Sounds like a NIGHTMARE of a visit. I'm so sorry. It's so annoying when things don't go to plan - it's so disheartening. If you followed the breif, there's not much more you can do - it's up the MS company to make sure their breif is in line with what they want you to do and is descriptive enough. Sounds like the receiptionist lady was a right idiot too! A bit like my boyfriend when I took him to do a nightclub visit.

He's stood at the bar shouting (as you do, as it's very noisy) to me "SO WHAT HAVE WE GOT TO ORDER?" "AND WHAT HAVE WE GOT TO JUDGE THEM ON?" "IF I BUY A PINT, WILL I GET REIMBURSED FOR THAT?" "HOW MUCH PROFIT WILL WE MAKE TONIGHT THEN?"

I had to keep telling him to keep his mouth shut - but he defends himself to this day saying that no one could hear him. Not worth risking though, is it!

The Questionnaire is by far the easiest and quickest one I've done so far!!! I did the competitors scenario, and all I had to do was fill in a few multiple choice questions on the Petrol store, then compare the Petrol store to the Competitors store on a number of criteria (check list saying "Better/Same As/Worse) and write a comparison comment for each aspect of the visit (Forecourt, Store, Staff). Took me all of 5 minutes, and wasn't too taxing at all. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!

As long as you follow the assignment instructions , get a receipt and a description of the MOS you will find it easy.

Can someone help please with TNS. I have some jobs lined up, and have looked at the email, there is a question form to fill out, to LOOK at only, it says do not submit. So where do I fill in the form when I have done the job, I tried to type on the one on the email, but nothing happens. Thanks anyone.

Awwwww! Maybe you could use it as an excuse to find a lovely man! Stop someone in the street that looks like they have some time to spare and say "Hey, fancy posing as my date and getting a free lunch?" Ha ha- not sure it'd go down too well.

I keep trying to get my fella into mystery shopping - he keeps saying he'll sign up but he's just no where near as enthusiastic as I am! I think he's happy just for me to drag him along when it suits the brief! We like the idea of being undercover secret agents!
