The Mystery Shopping Thread - X

milkybars

I'm really quite shocked at a number of posts today where posters have looked down their noses at other people. The language used today in these posts is derogatory, offensive and certainly not helpful in terms of mystery shopping.

Completely un-ms related but I am at this moment in Glasgow lokoing out my flat window at bloke who has been on the buckfast since last night by the looks of him seeing and dancing round his beer trophy of the evening.....a curtain pole! He has settled him on the doorstep of someone elses home, this is more entertaining than ms job hunting!

Ha Ha:rotfl::rotfl:Are you in Possil, only kiddin.

Sorry Milkybars I think today has been very mild, I have not looked down my nose, I am no upper class but I was actually scared in that shop and just wanted to discuss with other shoppers, if thats what you are reffering to.

What is offensive, judgmental, derogatory and unnecessary about saying ' should I say The jammie brigade waiting in a giro' Thats whole truth, people in jammies in a PO, they take the mick of that in all the glasgow papers, nothing wrong at all and i was actually talking about m'sing so yes it is relevent!!!

Not far away!! He has been let in by his other half now....have to be careful what I say dont wish to be accused of being snobby

No probs. I agree it wasn't directed at another poster today! It is important to discuss such experiences... it can help new shoppers to know about blending in as a typical customer but I think there are ways and language that is more appropriate. I didn't mean to single anyone inparticular out with the quotes more just to highlight language that in my opinion was inappropriate.

No harm done.

And to Berry Delight... I wouldn't use a word like "snobby" !!!
