MYSTERY SHOPPING THREAD XI ** New people make sure you read the first 2 Posts **

I managed to mix up my assignment notes today and have done a pharmacy visit incorrectly.

Make sure you check your notes because some of the jobs require you to buy Ibuleve gel and others require you to buy own-brand Ibuprofen tablets and attempt to buy a strong painkiller that they're supposed to refuse you.

I'm a bit disorganised at the moment so its my own fault really but that's a few quid down the drain for me

Well, it certainly isn't me either although I have just been allocated one today!! This will be my 3rd job for them after applying for LOADS. So I don't seem to be hogging them all

Was it the one-more-than-99p shop in Bexleyheath?

I've made the same mistake today for a catalogue shop. I've done a couple of them now & did one today. The only thing is today I should have "Ordered In" something & got a reservation receipt. I didn't read the notes & didn't do this part.
Not sure what I should do. Do you think they would notice if I did this part tomorrow?

Well my copy of my health shop which found its way back into pending payments on RE has now had it's reimbursement dropped to the price of one product. The one in the payments section is still showing full reimbursement. What a kerfuffle!

I did this once and they rang me and asked if I could do the ordered in part on a separate visit, so I think you would be fine to do this as long as you explain what happened.

I have just carried out one of these assignments and thought of you as I stood in the refund queue. You jogged my memory. Thanks.:T

Hi all, I hope you are enjoying your Sunday afternoons.
I have just carried out my first MS assignment! I was quite nervous as I went into the shop and just felt like I had a huge beacon saying "Mystery Shopper" over my head, but it was quite a straight forward assignment and I actually found it really exciting! It was a nice one for my first, and I didn't have any problems filling in the questionnaire so hopefully I haven't made any mistakes and it will be accepted.

Can't wait until my next assignment now!

I'm doing an MS for a clothes store and the purchase requirement is £5. I intend to buy a whole outfit though (top and pants). When it comes to my spreadsheet that I'm using to help me with the tax man....can I put the full amount in misc spend or just for the one item that takes me over the £5?

It makes a difference to how much I owe the taxman or what he owes me.

You can only put in the cheapest item really as this was the only one that you had to buy for the job.
