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

Littleoldme

I did a petrol competitor job this morning for Abai but the competitor garage was a supermarket one which you "drove through" to pay for the fuel, they did not sell anything else.

I parked up and did the forecourt stuff ok but anyone any advise on how I treat this for my report? It is going to be enough of a nightmare to do as the guy serving behind the till in the client garage was as miserable as anything and did not get anything "right" :eek:

Thanks

I'm having a really bad day. Got tenants in my property today. Thought finally after 6 months of it being empty. Signed the contracts and everything.
So went to do my mystery shop for Gap, to find the place closed and this was only day it would let me pick to reschedule! Really annoyed!

But then, my tenant rang us and said that him and his girlfriend had just broken up and that he doesn't need the house on his own. I had two tenants lined up and now I have none. I can't believe it. I just can't afford to keep it going anymore. Not that now I have to pay for the council tax aswell, which I get nothing for! Not happy at all. I feel like crying. This year has been a total disaster.

If they've signed the contract, surely they're both liable for the term of the contract?

I have not been on here long and have read through a few pages. I really want to start doing this but dont really know where to start. I live in Norfolk. Will there be many jobs in my area? How much money can you make? (I have loads of time on my hands) How long on average does each job take? Do you have to have a really good memory and eye for detail? Sorry for all the Q s but am really curious and quite excited ( sad I know ).

"Yes, I agree, I've done loads of these too; but prefer it now that you can choose the artist to download, when they stipulated it was Amy MacDonald it got a bit tiresome!!!"

Yeh, I wondered if it was to help her get to the top of the download chart?! Now, I just ask my 4yr old what she fancies...

"no music survey which could only be done yest "

I would get in touch with them tomorrow and ask for a re-schedule. I dont think you would be able to do it before you speak to them as the email mentioned a very tight quota for each day, and it was imperative that the download was carried out on your chosen day. I always email them, and they are always quick to respond and are usualy very helpful.

I did one like this. Phoned ABAi and told them. It happens, the girl on the phone wasn't that surprised. Just put the details in the report. I got my payment ok for it.
