Morning. First time posting here for me! Been mystery shopping for a couple of weeks now, had many fast food jobs and a stamp job.

This Friday, got lots of jobs all lined up at Lakeside and Bluewater. Wasn't too sure if the fact that I worked in Lakeside was an issue, but I wouldn't think so.

I was wondering if anyone else has done a MS (for React) of a very expensive suit shop. I'm not sure i'll have the money to buy a suit then bring it back an hour later... my overdraft doesn't stretch that far!!!!

Oh well, still got a doughnut place and a couple of ice cream jobs to do whilst i'm there. Oh, and a fast food job. Yum.

PS. Seen people referring to a MS company as "RE" - is that React?

Well done for all your work, keep going. RE = Retail Eyes.

Had to cancel an expensive suit shop - looked online and the prices of the suits were £200+ minimum. Requirement was to purchase than return... can't afford that, even if I get it back an hour later!! Will they hate me?! First shop for this company.

Ouch, that's a bit of an outlay!
I tend to avoid these type for the same reason. It usually says in the job notes what purchase is required before you apply.
I'm sure they won't hate you! Just put it down to experience

I've had a few like that - but not a quick reimbursement - This one was to buy some jeans which started at £75.

Mind you, just accepted one with a potential £1000 outlay. :j

I remember a job where I had to buy a first class return rail ticket for £350. Credit card was my friend there. And the service I had was poor (especially given how much I was spending) so the write up was far from positive.

I've just received my 'thanks but no thanks' email for the ice cream job.
