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

mysterious_girl

I just love going onto Multimap and pinheading all my eggs to see my route How sad am I?! :rotfl:



Edit: Have just done the above and there are two stores which are on the same street with only 8 shops between them!? How odd. How much petrol can I claim from one store to the next do you think?

The client took over another chain of convenience stores. It might be one store is branded with the client name and the other is in the name of the store they took over. Check your notes to make sure of the store names.

Just another TNS query. I have some friends I would like to refer to TNS, but is there only a certain number that would be allowed in my area, and if I referred too many would I be losing out on jobs myself?

:mad:Can somone please help or at least appease me? I was allocated a circuit of, shall we say the 'Papa, Nicole, French Cars' by Bare. Was really delighted as I'd already done a few others. But is it only me who failed dismally to get any further discounts, get a break down of the delivery costs, number plates, registration costs etc. and finally a BL**** printed Quotation?????? They all looked at me as if I had horns on my head. Even tried the, "I need a printed copy via e-mail for my Accountant line." But guess what, absolutely NOTHING!!! Two even refused business cards, just wrote their names on scabby pieces of paper with their first and final price! Been waiting a week for help from Bare on this, with a number of e-mails which were really useless and didn't resolve any of my issues. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated before I go completely INSANE!!!!:mad: Travelled 60 miles and wasted almost 6 hours on this and fear the worst..... No payment!!!! AaaaaaaaaGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

I guess yes if there are only a certain amount of jobs in your area then your friends might nab them 1st! However a lot of TNS jobs you cannot do again for a certain amount of time so if you did 1 in say April you might not be able to do the same site again for 3 -4 months so your friends could do them in the interim if you get my drift. Though saying that there are probably a load of other shoppers in your area you dont know who will nab them if they see them first.

Just nabbed 6 self allocations of the egg shops - missed out last time, so can now join the club!!! Couple of questions though...Can you take the kids with you on these visits? - I can't see anywhere on the notes that you have to go alone.

Also, what normally happens when you return the goods - refund or replacement? Even better for your purse if its the former?:T

Not sure about the taking kids bit but after doing a few of these I too realised it was better for me to get a refund rather than a replacement. So i would buy a sarnie, take a bite, go back in and say it tasted strange. There was no way they would check this for themselves so I would get a refund!

Never done a Bare circuit needing a printed quote, sorry. I have sometimes been given a printed quote, but otherwise, have used my own notes, or got the sales consultant to write final quote on back of his business card.

Hope Bare pay out for you.

Yeh, I think thats what I'll do - there's no way they would taste it to find out any different. Are you still within the spend if you do this (I'm thinking about £2 each for both?) or have you any further tips?

I'm loving MSing at the mo - ESA jobs that I would never get before, and I have made over £30 doing nothing because EDig have approved all of my outstanding surveys. Its funny how things change from month to month with this job isn't it...:T
