unfortunately this shop is about 4m x 4m big so would not feel very comfortable as they would be watching and be able to see what i am doing! its one of the ones where you do an audit on your phone. would not be a good idea to whip out my new blackberry then prentend i had a rubbish phone lol!
the bare ones seem to be quite regular so maybe next month! Mystery Shopping £1147/£2000 (Jan) :j
Bingo wins since Jan: £1320 :T0 -
Thanx, I thought it was that,..... but before you do the overt audit you have to do a covert shop... I just don't like the one's that you have to openly tell them that you are a mystery shopper.... that why i wondered if anyone else had done one of these ..it's for a supermarket ...i cant help it but i feel a bit of a wally saying it...:o
lol is it just me.. i have done half a doz of the "Hi im a mystery shopper" jobs but i always feel the same... i will still do them & hopefuly it will get easier..:) 0 -

Know what you mean. I've done coverts then a 'reveal'...........& the worst is when they say 'yeah, we were wondering' -!! My faves are straight coverts or out-&-out overts!0 -

Not guilty, I didn't get the jobs too. I don't think I am the quickest on the keyboard on here . . .

............what, precisely? Thanks for being so welcoming to a newbie!
The post sounded like you worked for them.
If you don't then I apologise.
It's just rare for people to come on here and sound like a commercial unless they have some kind of vested interest in the company!
Anyway, I've had a long & busy day and I'm a bit tired and grumpy. And my half-drunk girlfriend is talking nonsense in my ear as I type this...... So apologies again, and welcome!

How come this company isn't listed on the front page?
It would appear that Aba and Aba-i are different companies? One has an 0161 number, the other has an 017.. number.
Am I being dim or are they the same company?0 -

I thought the same but they are two different companies. Signed up to Aba a couple of months ago but hadn't heard anything. Nice to know that this isn't unusual!0 -
