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

For the most part I think Bare are great. But, really, does the person who comes up with lists for their servicing calls speak english? Nothing guaranteed to make you feel a prat like calling a company called xyz Auto Electrics to ask about brake pads! Garages can be patronising enough, without the help.

:question: I'm doing my first egg shops this weekend, I have never tried to do them before because I don't like the idea of complaining about somehting! Just wondered what everyone else buys and why they say they are returning it?

Thank-you

Crisps is another one. You can squash them and take back a packet of crumbs, and they usually give a replacement. I got addicted to the hand cooked salt and vinegar ones

I havent seen any local jobs for ABAi on any of their clients..... even though I keep getting emails saying there are jobs in my local area

Did you call them? I have not seen any jobs for the hardware store for a few months – when I called yesterday, they found out that I mistakenly gave wrong answer for the confidentiality question. The problem is sorted out for me and I can see all available jobs locally and nationally. Very impressed

Is that "money in the bank" or just their web-site saying paid?

My pay is still "pending", wonder if it is because (like Monkey) it's for flight fees and assocaited visa cost?

Maybe time to drop them an email to ask :cool:

it was in my bank account yesterday

Has anyone done cheap designer store jobs or mobile phone shops for ABAi recently? Since last November, I have not seen or done any of those jobs.

me either we were chatting on here a few months ago about discount designer and no-one had seen jobs since then wonder if they have lost the contract, anyone seen them with another company?

Just done my first job for TERN.

Only problem I had was to keep under the maximum word count of at times 60 or 80 words.

Just looked and it's been marked. 8/10 so not too bad. They did comment though that I had not put in enough detailed comments :eek:

!!!!!! :cool:

Only done 1 egg job to date. I bought a pack of biscuits and made a small tear in the packaging with a pin. I felt like a criminal when returning the goods, thought security would collar me for being a liar .

Good tip- I had a bank job yesterday, looked at the left and right but didn't write it down (that kind of day!). Luckily my bus back drove past the location.

Actually I got that wrong They do not ask for Left or Right (geting mixed up with a REACT job I did at the same time

Still, always a good habit to get into.

I've just rung BARE.

Apparently there is a delay from the US end in verifying the payments to those who did the Flights. (Me and Monkey )

The guy (Mark?) said he'd chase to see when it's expected.

They've always paid up (though once only paid me £200 instead of £2000:eek:-Took them 10 days to rectify that)

So I'm not too overly worried:think:

s-a-h-

I have a TNS supermarket job next month and have been reading my notes. I have certain counters I should be checking staff at, but the questionnaire is asking me to check just about everything else in the shop, queue at the cafe, go to photo desk, stop at the garage and buy a chocolate bar; the list goes on and on, this is in addition to the things on my shopping list.
I presume I do everything on the questionnaire even if it is not high lighted as my main areas, is this right?
