Can anyone tell me if Aba-i ever have jobs in Scotland, so i can stop wasting me time checking in to their site?

Yes certainly on phones petrol and catalogue shops, in fact on the petrol they seem to hang around a while so if you do any travelling you should manage to pick some up.

I guess we're going to have to disagree on this one Mike.

When I did say exactly what happened in a bookies recently, my report was put into query and, guess what, 2 weeks later I got a phone call querying it. Trust me, it's really not worth it.

It depends how you view it - I've done a good few dozen very negative reports in my time and more often than not they do query them - companies hate bad reports but that defeats the point. I have had massive rows with Mystery Shop companies who asked me to retract critical comments once, I usd the line that I would not compromise my integrity as a mystery shopper to fabricate results to pacify the client. I have never since been asked to retract critical remarks by any company.

I do agree though if you put in your report - 'Staff worked out I was a mystery shopper' then that reflects badly upon yourself and such comments should be avoided.

Good grief TG, they're not blackberrys they're monsters. Look how long they are! When I was a wee lass blackberrys used to be a roundish shape. Those were the days....

Dont think its the one you're thinking of. Its mentioned on the first page, first intial G.

The thing that got me was that it was as though they were expecting me, or a mystery shopper anyway, to come in and enquire about transferring accounts. Do you think that they know, or am I just being paranoid? Anyway, done the report now and didn't mention it, but if it happens again, I will definitely use the reponse given previously. Thanks for all your replies.:T

They ARE expecting you. A few months ago, I had 2 to do on the same day. Went to the first one and they knew straight away who I was. I went to the second one and they didn't, which I couldn't understand. It was only when I got home I realised I had used the wrong scenario at the second one!

with the TNS mystery shops do you still have to post the receipts off - is there not an option to email them?

thanks

Quick Question, do GAP pay the end of the month following your visit or the end of the month you visited. So, if I visited Sept 10th I would be paid end of October or end of September.

Thanks in advance
