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

misssarahleigh

Morning all,

Lookin for a little help. Trying to get my fingers into as many pies as possible, e.g. m/shopping, surveys etc

Do any of you also do other things? I follow the thread and theres things you lot talk about that i have no idea (since everything is normally code lol)

Scanning the forum as we speak, but if anyone has any good links. Tried signing up for boots and Tesco product testing (tesco is full, boots sending a form out)

Apologies from deviating. Only have 1 job this week

Indeed it was, but given the it's happened for a second [consecutive] month, one must wonder...

It means jack who their clients are. I imagine that there were many rich clients of Northern Rock (just happened to be far moor poor clients!), and who ever thought that Woolworths would go under?

Actually I'd say it matters a lot who their clients are, I imagine this company is global but just in the UK they have lost a bookies and failed to gain a fast food sandwich place recently. If a certain burger client is putting the squeeze on and demanding the work is done globally for less, they could find themselves in some trouble. Or, it could just be "admin problems" and there is no problem at all.

Surveys are easy but won't make you much money, focus groups look promising but despite numerous attempts I have never been accepted on one yet and matched betting also looks promising but I haven't yet had the time to reread the section on that to make sure I'm doing it right!

They could save themselves a fortune in phone calls if they made note of what the shopper says when they ring.. I've had 5 calls now for the same urgent job, which I've told each and everyone that it is too far and I can't do it at that time.... I think they have just moved the payday personally.:)

* Sigh * Why do I bother to give information about things (see above) when on the very next page people ask the same question???? (see below)

TG gives up ...... :mad::mad::mad:

Sorry - I started reading the new thread yesterday and it had already reached 11 pages. I wish I had time to read each post....Didn't realise it was worth three "mad" smilies....

For the egg shops, is the questionnaire available to print, I see all the other forms but not the questionnaire.

Aren't you lucky that you don't have to waste your time reading when so many people kindly answer the same old questions time and time again.

Quite frankly there is so much information given away on these threads but so many people cannot be bothered to read.

When I started MSing like so many old hands the only people we relied on were ourselves and the staff at the agencies. We had to sit and read the briefs carefully and work things out. So many people come on here and ask the simplest of questions because they want it given on a plate. Lazy option. Read and you might find out a whole lot more.

Genuine help is gladly given and sometimes explanations are needed but when something has been answered time and time again and only a page before it is understandable that you get three angry faces.


Don't care if you don't like the comment. But then again you probably won't be reading it.

Right at the top of the survey summary (after clicking on the visit ID) it says open worksheet. That has questions and you can print it off.

RE: Gap pay. I don't mind if they want to change the date for payment. Just wish they said upfront that they wanted to do this rather than use excuse after excuse. They aren't doing themselves any favours though as it doesn't inspire people to do jobs for them if there is a likelihood that they may not get paid.
