    I'm really sorry if this has been posted before, but I've read the first few pages and also did a search on this...

    On Abai, whenever I search, even doing as it says on the first page of the thread, nothing comes up, ever!

    Is there no work at the moment?

    And again, sorry if this has already been asked, does my head in when I see people asking the same questions over and over again, but I did have a look! :rotfl:

    Not sure if anyone follows Helion on facebook, but I saw this earlier and thought it was highly amusing!
    I was scheduling recorded phone shops. When I emailed the shopper to see if she had completed her OVERDUE shop, she replied back, "I was unable to perform this shop due to a flat tire on my car." I replied back with, "This was a recorded telephone call you make from home."

    I wonder what other gems shoppers have come up with!

    Have seen the posts about Gapbuster sending out e-mails telling people they will no longer be needed. How I wish I could mystery shop Gapbuster - they would fail for sure! I have sent 3 query e-mails recently with no reply, not that I ever expected one. I know if I put in a truthful report where I have a negative comment I get an instant e-mail querying it - and then subsequent e-mails which are increasingly demanding whcih appear to doubt what you have written (moral of this is to aviod writing anything negative for Gapbuster). The only contact is from people outside the UK who ask me to do burger bars on a 100 mile round trip and wonder why £10 extra does not compensate for the petrol and 2 hours+ driving......all I can say they must put in the cheapest tender otherwise why would large companies ever use them?

    is it a flight one? it took me nearly two hours to do a flight one. i cancelled my others as there is no way i was doing two hours for that fee and even if i would, i did not have time to do it. they should have put a much higher fee for those, i happily do the retail, gas, broadband, music etc.. but dont think i would ever do travel again :(

    I rarely see any jobs - I think there are a lot of fast fingers about! :)

    What is the point of using mystery shoppers if they don't take on board what is reported :eek:. the client must gove them such a hard time when there is a negative comment that it is not worth it.
