I did a mystery shop last week and have just received an email asking me certain questions and says if i don't answer within 24 hours I will not be paid. Is this normal practice for a newbie or did I mess up?

This job has it`s ups and downs.On the down side I have been forced to eat 3 burgers over the weekend...yes I was bribed with 2 corner shops and a petrol station. I`m not proud that I could be brought for such a price!!lol.
On the up I have a nice mexican meal today with my 2 grandchildren and tomorrow a grill with OH and on Friday a visit to a theme park and I have been given the ok to use 2 for 1 tickets so a freebie day for 4 of us!
Also a nice pizza lined up with my mother.
All in a weeks work so not too bad this week.

Ivy, No you probably didn't mess up. Answer the questions, and put in down to experience.

They don't bite, most of them are very nice on the phone . . go for It !

Try not to worry. They probrably want you to clarify an answer because you might not have explained it the way they like. The more assignments you do the more you get used to the way they like their reports written.

Don`t panic! Answer the questions as much as you can remember. There`s so much to take in when you first start out. Could be they just want clarification on some of the answers. Still happens to me every now and then, especially if it is a bad report!!

I feel like I have been on the Atkins diet...never want to see another burger again!!! Plus 3 floor shows in as many days. That comes with asking for a receipt at the weekend.:rotfl:
