Dear Gyp,

Thank you, sincerely for allowing me to Mystery Shop for your gracious company.

Mystery Shoppers rely on the company they are working for being reasonable. Over the last few months of me working for you, I have realised how daft your burgerjobs are. This has led to huge increases in the bonuses that the burger flippers are paid, as they know when to expect a Mystery Shopper (who "leaks" this to them, I don't know!), what they will order, and what they will ask.

Subtlty is very important to Mystery Shopping and it should also be important to you.

If your assignment isn't realistic, and subtle, my results not be of any value to the burger company, because the flippers realise that they are being Mystery Shopped, and so, put on a floor show.

Every month ************* decide what menu items are to be purchased during *************** assignments. However, it seems that these decisions are taken globally, so the latest offerings in our country often cannot be ordered. Again, this makes us reasonably obvious to the flippers.

All GypBurger restaurants are equipped with CCTV. This is to help the flippers identify us when they get their Mystery Shopper report back. They will go back through the CCTV footage, to the date and time that you visited, and identify you. They will then taken a still-capture of our face, and stick print outs in the flippers' working area. Further, if the report was critical in any way whatsoever, the flippers will look for any way possible to discredit or dispute our reports.

If you have any queries as to how to make these assignments more of a mystery, please feel free to ask for feedback from your shoppers, instead of constantly berrating us.

Best regards,

Thought I'd removed them, d'oh! I copied and pasted bits of GAP's email and forgot to remove the client name.

Arghh the only job on RE I would want to do, everytime I click it apparently its been taken by another shopper, so I refresh and the bloomin thing is still there. So frustrating!!

I had this same problem twice - last time it happened, I called them up and she fixed it for me and allocated the ones I wanted to my account.

Today though, I called again and she called me back to say that there was a mistake and I shouldn't be seeing them because the age limit for these particular ones are 25 and I am only 22.

So that may be the problem - call them though last time they sorted it for me, especially if you are over 25.

Agreed. I won't have much sympathy for anyone who accepts those crap pub jobs with a miniscule fee and 106 questions PLUS a summary. Why a summary covering every tiny detail of what you have just answered.

I am so annoyed I am going to phone the allocator tomorrow and tell her what I think and why I wont be doing them anymore.

They are extracting the Michael.

Just to say though, That some of us will accept these jobs because we are desperate for money and although it does seem a miniscule fee, £x for a lot of paperwork is still £x closer to being able to eat and pay rent, in which case it is often worth it for people like me.

Crazy Scientology Tom? :eek: That would have scared the bejesus out of me if I'd dreamed about him - I'd rather dream of RE :rotfl:Now Mr Clooney or Mr Depp maybe........
