Lush do their own, as you say. Check out their forums.

Never heard of Pandora jewellery shop. Are they only in the North or are they national?

Why do I have a feeling the Pandora ones will be either the enquire but don't buy or the buy and send special delivery to the MS company type hehe. Nice try though

I'm sick of the briefs that seem designed to wind us up. I can only spend so long being shown an Apple laptop or trying a very expensive top on without wanting one!!

Your wife/girlfriend will know what Pandora is. Ask her! She'll probably gladly drag you there. Get your money out Monkey Boy! Yes, they're national. Just google them.

Hi guys
Just thought I'd let you know I've managed to submit my report for todays burger job to GAP with no problems, despite being unable to recomplete the orientation test. I'll let you know if I hear otherwise from them.
The assignment was in my local burger store today and I was in fits of laughter at the floor show as they obviously thought the poor woman sitting beside me was the mystery shopper in store and hounded her with questions of if she was enjoying her food, was everything ok and did she want a balloon (she was in her 40's)! :rotfl:She eventually got fed up of this and left the store :rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks for that, Linz.

Just wondering if this is the first time anyone has submitted a report saying that other customers got more attention than the MSer did??;)

Does anyone know who Mystery Shops Lush? I have a feeling they do it themselves .. if anyone knows how to join their MS-ing team can they please PM me? Thanks.

As someone has already said, it is on the Lush site. At least it was when I signed up ages and ages ago. I seem to recall that reimbursement was in vouchers (no fee). I have heard nothing at all since I refused one offer, but I am not too bothered because reimburesement in vouchers made it seem hardly worth the effort!

Being a newbie even I get annoyed at people who just jump right in with a question about something without even saying hi!

I did that, Glam, and I apologise to one and all retrospectively.;)

Ah, but the secret is to do so many of the shops you get sick of the sight of the desirable item. For example, there is one very expensive clothes shop chain I do on a regular basis, and I try to do at least four or five jobs in each wave. I go for the same item in each shop, buy it and return it. By the time I've done that multiple times, I know I'd rather not see the item hanging in my wardrobe at home!

I know what you mean. I do this quite often if I get a lot in the same wave and it does work but if you only get one shop it's really tempting.

Did one a few weeks ago and tried a top on that was 10x the reimbursement. Looked great in it and was going out on the night. Was that depressed after trying the top on and looking brilliant in it I stayed at home!!

Anyone else bored? No one bought me an Easter egg, so had to buy myself a box of chocs . DH copped out with the feeble excuse that he was planning to take me for a drink tomorrow (we were going anyway ). DH has now put a carry on film on and is now reading. No MS jobs. Might have to go and do some baking and open that bottle of wine that I treated myself to (out of the housekeeping money ).
Oops, update DH is now asleep! Bet he wakes up if I change the channel :mad:

Bored? me? I've had the dishwasher on...twice. Tidied all my kitchen cupboards, baked a fruit loaf, made a lemon meringue cake and cooked roast beef dinner with all the trimmings..... just poured an early vodka...just a little one ...break me in gently

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!

Oh dear, its not going to be a good night for reports then. Our experience was that all went well until ordering the essential last drink. We waited 40 minutes to place the order and receive it :eek: Then there was the bill fiasco! Other than that, the food was good
