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

Feb has been my most lucrative month by far in my short MSing career (expecting two three-figure payments from two companies). Done a modest number of jobs, but all were relatively well paid jobs.

Good job given that I'll be doing hardly any work in March haha!

lol this happened to me once. I was quite innocently taking a photo of a record outlet in a shopping mall when I was approached by a security guard who told me that i couldn't do that without permission from the management. how was I supposed to know? :laugh::laugh:

Any special reason for the lack of jobs in March UKM? I've had a slow month this month, but the jobs I've done have been very easy to do and fairly well paid. Lot of work for them who must not be named, gap and first tracking.

I thought it was common knowledge that ESA's staff themselves conduct most of the visits, leaving the rest to those that are signed up with them as shoppers??

nope didn't know that - I'm suspecting in that case that they dont have many employees living in NI then

I am now confused by egg jobs I am due to do. I thought you got reimbursed for what you ACTUALLY buy.

Hello
You do get reimbursed for what you actually buy so if you get a refund that is extra. That is one of the reasons I was buying and returning sandwiches because they cost around £2 and then I get that money back so end up with an effective spend of £5. BTW if you are buying sandwiches I found the salmon ones easiest to return because the salmon is a horrible paste lol

Surely that is a bit unethical. Apart from anything else they aren't exactly neutral! :mad:
