Mystery shopping thread xiii ** please don't mention client names on here **

These crisp jobs will be the death of me.

I don't see what the big secret is, I mean the staff must know something is happening when we all flood into the shops, scatter bags of crisps everywhere and check all the sell by dates.

I wouldn't mind so much but I've ended up with 106 bags of salt 'n vinegar and I don't even like them! Why can't I ever find any plain crisps? Has someone else got the same 15 shops as me an only leaves the horrible ones?:D

Well don't invite me to your house of an evening. I bloody hate salt and vinegar crisps. Now if you get some decent cheese and onion or smoky bacon. But NO ONE does them like Golden Wonder ones. Oh woe is me.

Blimey I am quite depressed now.

So crisps,,,,no one please mention them again.

I think I only got offered it because someone else dropped out, as I had a two day deadline the first month. Also, I'd only done one other job for them.

In the same vein, I have never once been phoned by any company to do an urgent visit. I did respond quickly to a couple of emails and got an enhanced fee.

Bottom line is, you don't know how many other MSers are on your doorstep.

ps....Thanks for all the supportive comments about my 16 jobs!. I'd say never again, but I know it won't be true.;)

HP I'll keep the next lot of cheese and onion ones and bring them with me next time I visit. Sorry they aren't Golden Wonder, its all those horrible hand cooked natural organic ones that nobody likes because they cost a fortune. At least the dog likes them :A

I'm starting on the mushroom jobs tomorrow. It sounds a bit boring, but the pay is fantastic, so I was easily led Is anyone else doing them? It's for the company that don't like to be mentioned - the spies one not the A one.

Yep I've got that one too Becs. I've been looking out recipies for mushroom dip that will go nice with crisps, do you want me to share with you my recipies? I'll catch up with you elsewhere and we can swap notes.

Rescheduling Gap jobs used to be simple. Select the new date - hey presto, done.

I rescheduled a couple last week and they were "pending" until the next morning, and I'm now trying to reschedule a pizza delivery from next Tuesday to Wednesday and even though the date is available it won't let me do it!

Anyone else having problems with this at the moment?

Love salt 'n' vinegar :drool:, send 'em over . I got excited when i finally found out what 'egg' jobs were . Look forward to the 'crisps' experience if one ever comes my way!

Did my 1st job for First Tracking and sent my report over the website. Had no confirmation email however. Is this normal? I'm sure it's gone through, but i'm quietly panicking .

Not sure if it's just because I've been spending too much time on facebook and not enough on the alerts thread, but I've hardly got any jobs down for the rest of the month.

Half a dozen random jobs next week and then nothing at all yet! Let's hope ESA decides to give us all some chemists after disappointing us with the clothes and homes shops last week.

Even had to take a couple of RE jobs. One is right between an ESA travel agents and a stationery shop I'm visiting anyhow for OC so worthwhile to get a free game for my DS. Although afraid I might be tempted to treat myself to a new DS XL . My DD has annexed mine as her naughty little brother broke the hinge on hers. :mad:
