Thanks. I think the stand alone ones are open as normal but the one I had booked in is a shop inside a shopping mall. The mall is closed so greasy burger will be too.

Had similar problems with this one before it let me book a breakfast for a Sunday morning but didn't open until 11am!!

Give them a ring. The website has each shops telephone number on it.

I've popped on here to ask the very same question !!, I have 50 reports to put on before Tuesday lunchtime and haven't been able to log on since yesterday morning :mad: hopefully, they will allow extra time for data entry as the fault must be their end and not ours.

Wow, 50 reports! Does that equate to 50 separate jobs?! :eek: Not registered with the company, so don't know how they operate.

I've just this minute logged onto ESA - it's running ok for me.

Not sure, but we didn't go over the reimbursement last time so I'm quite happy with the reimbursement - the kids love it there, it will make their Easter!

Well, we went last night, it was heaving, got TOTALLY ignored at the bar, there were only 2 behind there, one guy doing his best to serve everyone and a girl who was more intent on doing the table orders than even making eye contact or acknowledging us even though I was standing directly in front of her. She kept her head down the whole time, although did keep taking sips of HER OWN DRINK which was behind the bar!!!

We stood at the bar for 15 mins waiting to be served, and in the end were called to our table before we'd got any! So we ordered drinks at the table and our total bill came in at 36p below the maximum reinbursement! Food was very good though!

I have just been accepted for my first mystery shop with Gapbuster. It is an eating out one. It does not seem to be paying much and,in fact if I am not careful, amlikely to spend more than they will reimburse! Is that normal? I am going to do it because it will be a meal out and give some experience but I really want to do mystery shopping to earn extra money no matter how little.

I also have a query regarding one of the items I must order. I know I am not to say who the client is so can I pm anyone to get an answer? Sorry if I am being a pain but want to make sure I get my first visit right.

Thanks

Dazzieboo - If this is the RB project I'm in the same position as you, 45 reports by lunchtime Tuesday. I had planned to input them over the three days and have them all finished as I won't have time to do them Tuesday morning.

Can anyone tell me if they have had the same with UK MYstery Shopper Employment Agency as advertised on the BBC. I have tried to get a refund and I have to fill out a form and send it to INDIA. I cannot just get a refund by e-mail as I applied for the post in the first place!

Thanks.

Any agency asking for fee is a scam. I did a Google search on this one and you get loads of links to people trying to get their cash back. Some replying to Canada, USA, India.... you could chase them all over the world. If it was a Credit Card payment that seems to be the only successful route to a refund.

Where on the BBC was it advertised, Watchdog or Crimewatch ?!

Read the first two posts of this Thread to find the best way to start out!

Good Luck - hope you get a result.
