MYSTERY SHOPPING THREAD XIV - Please do NOT mention Client names on here

Am I the only one who thinks GFK do not pay enough for the current round of bank jobs. Expect you to wait for an adviser to be available and then discuss opening a new account. All for a small fee of xxx and No car parking or petrol money offered.
Loads of jobs in my area but I have decided not to bother.

Has anyone seen the Sun today. RE are wanting an extra 1000 shoppers and there's a full page spread on how profitable and enjoyable the job is - you can earn up to £50 per assignment! They also even pay mileage! Its the best job in the world apparently! It even lists the types of jobs that are available. Talk about "dont beleive everything you read":rotfl:

The Sun? That's the market they're targeting? Good grief. Bet they didn't explain the bit where you have to register as self employed, fill in a tax return every year etc

Huh, do they normally pay car parking and petrol? I signed up for one as it's not far and has free parking for shoppers.

No you are right they do not usually pay for parking or petrol, but all the ones near me involve paying for parking. I just felt that it could be quite a lengthy task for very little return. Hope yours is quick and painless.

i agree with gfk bank fees. compare with gr banking jobs, same fee but all you have to do is make an appointment and wait for a call. last time i did gfk bank i was in there 40 mins

Ah, fair enough! I'm still very, very new at this and to me the fact that I don't have to spend anything (except a little on petrol) makes this job attractive as funds are tight at the moment! :-)

But yeah, I hope I don't have to hang around as long as it says is possible!
