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

look_after_the_pennies

Wow, this is a first. Now back home after doing some stamp shops, a make up shop and an electrical store all in a nearby town. Usually do a 100 mile round trip ms'ing in various towns so was nice just to stay in one town! Forgot about my egg shop however, but luckily it doesn't have to be done today. Will write up some of my reports now and enjoy the rest of the hot sunny day. Maybe with a glass of Rose or two.....

OK, so next time I'm in Asdas, I'll apologise to them that I cant pay for the shopping, because I havent been paid. Oh, and when I fill the car up with diesel, I'll again apologise because I havent been paid, hence I cant pay for my petrol.
They would expect payment for the goods I am purchasing, as I would expect payment for the service I have provided to an MS co.

Fraid it doesn't work like that, as a mystery shopper you are performing more of a B2B transaction rather than a consumer transaction, and (not that I'm necessarily saying Helion are doing so, but) one of the easiest ways of managing your working capital as a new business is to delay paying your creditors (mystery shoppers)

I don't recall receiving an e-mail but several MSE members claim they did!

Personally I think it was probably scaremongering by BARE, I had the email, although had no contact from Helion, besides given BARE has been operating for some time they really must be a 2 bit operation if they did not have confidentiality clauses allowing for them to take legal action against Helion if they were able to prove what they seemed to suggest.

Just noticed that my 2nd payment overview has appeared on the Helion site for jobs I did in April

At the last of my egg shops today I got a full house of the promotional stock check :j

There has been one item I had not found till this one and I was starting to worry that I was missing it in store or something so pleased to see it is where I was expecting it and confident I have not missed it before.

Am now trying to find home for the eggs now... trying to find friends who want them at the moment :rotfl:

I too can now see my payment overview on Helion

Got 3 nice envelopes from AbAi this morning - not bad as I only did the jobs the other week :j

Are GAP OK with you rescheduling? I thought LO was in Creche on a Monday but its actually the Tuesday which I had booked the jobs for!

I have re scheduled quite a few jobs (including one I moved about three times) and I am not aware of it causing any issues with them, but I am willing to stand corrected by those who are more experienced with them.

Yep, I've rescheduled my Gap jobs in the past and have not had any problems yet. Touch wood!

Thanks - I'll probably do it later.
I got all the Creche days mixed up for some reason! Think I need to get back to work to get my brain more active! :rotfl:

Just remember that Austrailia are hours ahead of us and if you try and rescehule a job for a day that already is that day there, then the system wont let you do it!
