Hi Guys, anyone know anything about the optician jobs through T**n? Having had the glasses specially made up for you they want them sending with receipts. Do you get to have them back? I'm guessing not but seems a bit of a waste......

Thanks for your wisdom in anticipation!

No they are returned by Tern to the optician's store.

BTW You can say MS company names just not clients or fees.

Enter the store -its the size of my mams parlour.

No other customers inside.

One member of staff who clocks me on entry.

Wander round the aisles,takes me all of 8 seconds.

Product enquiry - back to the one member of staff. - Not in stock,(did I really think they would sell lime flavoured crusha cordial ?)

Pay for product - same member of staff,(These cards then,are they any good?)

Duck out,back in the car I sneakily lift the foil lid on my choc mousse thingy.

Back in the store and the same member of staff deals with the return.

Duck out again. Shed my trusty Hi Vis jacket and back in to the store to conduct an audit with.........the same member of staff.

Are you on your own?

Yes.

Can you come round with me to do this,obviously I can see that you have to do the till and put stock out and help customers and catch shoplifters and maybe do a bit of cleaning but these audits are a !!!!!! and ive got a bookie and a burger to do yet.

Ummm.

I lost the will to live doing this job.

The bare jobs that require tests to be failed, fees are showing as zero on job details, assume their error?

I think it may be because these jobs have two Apollo submissions: the first is where you put in your id info that Bare uses to book the test (you don't get paid for this) and the second is the report on the test experience (i.e. the job proper, for which you do get paid). That's what I thought anyway. There is most definitely a fee for the jobs!!!

Had a similar one today only the egg shop without the audit... Tiny little village shop - the type where everyone knows everyone and if it was a pub the place would go silent when a stranger walked in....

Nipped out to the car to have a quick bite out of the sandwich and when I came back into the tiny little shop the two staff members and manager were gathered around the till and all I could hear was the manager saying "Did he buy eggs? Did you check them?":eek:


Rumbled much? :rotfl:

Walked over to them and did the return, still not quite sure how I kept a straight face! Complained about the taste and they gave me replacement one grrrrr, wanted the money back to be honest!

lol I had a similar experience in a little village with one road in and the same road out - no chance of anyone passing through. While I was standing in the queue the assistant unzipped her fleece jacket and pulled it back to reveal her name badge. I had to laugh when she told the customer she was serving that she was soooo hot :rotfl::rotfl:

Does anyone else get evil looks from the customers in the massive queue behind you in some of these when you're asking about the card thing? Good job I've got thick skin

Made me laugh. It makes us so obvious. Might as well have a hard hat with Mystery shopper printed on it.

My phone is a constant sea of withheld number calls. Can't ignore them as OH's phone line at work is automatically withheld... so end up speaking to Gyp at least twice a day!!!
