MYSTERY SHOPPING THREAD XV - please, no mention of client names or fees on here

I've got 4 GFK phone calls to do, all using Veritel and it's been so long since I've done phone calls for them I'm struggling.

It tells me to do the following:

- call 01865 262707
- dial *2
- enter VIN
- hear dialling tone, dial 45 then the number on the cover sheet.

Well, I ring the first number, it rings out 4 or 5 times, then goes dead!! Is this right? Or should it be automatically answered before I dial *2?

Thanks!!!!

Alright who's pinched all the jobs I've only got one on my calendar for this week.

I booked one of the no fee coffee jobs ages ago for later this week. Was hoping I would find something else to do on the same day to make it worthwhile but there is absolutely nothing around

So looks like my sole reason for going into town on Thursday will be for a latte and piece of cardboard. And no fee. Can't wait

quite quiet for me too, thank god for my audits although had disaster this morning, went to print the spreadsheet out hour before i needed to leave and my printer would not work. had no other way of printing so considered finding an old one and tip-ex ing out the marks but thought that would be too complicated. the solution i went with was grab an old one and just tick and cross next to the name as pleanty of room in that column. of course the one i grabbed was only the extended one with the extra 50 or so products and where they were in random order grrrrrrr luckily i know the products off by heart so could score out the old things but took forever! another one to do this evening so need to sort my printer

applied for glasses job with tern, i need an eye-test but my local did not come up on gfk so very happy tern are now doing test. fingers crossed that i get it as then i will get it for free and get paid to do something i need to do anyway

I forgot my shopping list for the covert one once. Managed to get them all captured anyway from memory with paper and a pen. Didn't miss a single product. Think that's when you know you do too many of them lol.

Just done a burger. I was there last week went in wrong slot and gyp couldn't change it (think they were just being awkward tbh). They'll be wishing they had changed it now. Got red carpet treatment last week. Today because they thought they'd been done the food was cold drink was warm and took nearly 10 min to get food. Place was filthy as well. Feel quite sick now. Don't want to go back to this one!!

Are you sure you're registered for Veritel?

Didsbury cinema is listed again as Lanarkshire instead of Lancashire in case you miss it.

Does your line have your telephone number withheld?

It's on my line, so I have to dial 1470 before I dial Veritel to release my phone number.

I don't think I have done one of these unless its the ones with the MS followed by the availability audit.

However are you sure it is looking for 15 apples and its not "15X. Apples" as this is how they often reference the questionnaire numbers. I might be wrong they could be looking for 15 apples but generally for availability it is as long as there is one or more products to purchase at the time of checking then its a pass.

Hope this helps

OOOhh your right.. duh its 15X blonde moment thanks for the clairification!

jobs are slow at the moment.. I blinked and missed all the petrol ones
