It's good to know that we are all nice and healthy but the project has obviously been a bit of a failure for them. I wonder if they will pull it and change the brief.

It's not a case of the project being a failure. This prescription scenario (or v similar) has been around for some years now and they always take an age to be taken as obviously there is a limit to how many prescriptions you can get! It is the client who wants the prescription part mystery shopped..they all go eventually after RE have extended the dates numerous times and eventually up the fee!

There are loads in my area but they will have to double the fee for me to be bothered to go to my gp/hv to get a prescription.

My friend's son is a pharmacist and he can apparently spot the MS as the brief is so well known (plus he is in a very rough area) so anything not to do with methadone stands out. :cool:

I'm west yorkshire. Huddersfield mainly. Don't go that far out as I'm geographically challenged.

These are purchase visits so as part of this exercise; we need you to make a purchase at your designated store.
Please note all purchases must be paid for using a card, not cash and must be at least £25.00. Following the visit, you
can return to any xxxxxx store to obtain a refund (although we would prefer for the refund to be carried out on a
different day, you can return the item on the same day if no other option is available). The refund is not part of the
reporting process, we do however, require you to upload an image of your refund receipt, if you are unable to upload it,

please send it in to us within 24hrs of making the purchase.

Hi. Just joining in the Yorkshire love-in! I have East Yorkshire/North Lincs/and a teeny bit of West Yorkshire as my defined areas and have 50 pharmacies still showing (only about 5 have gone since they were first posted). Anyway, would be in BIG trouble even if I could take one of these as hubby works for another very big, well-established health and beauty chain.................... I get reprimanded for even peering in the enemy's windows :eek:

Whilst on the topic of Yorkshire, has there been any react coffee jobs recently in this area? Or is everyone else swiping them incredibly quickly? Not seen one in donkeys and have been checking regularly

Ooh, you must be another one near me then - it must be you that keeps taking all my jobs !

Coffee - I got one in the next town this time, but didn't see any of my local ones on there. There's 1 local one I go to every Sat while DD is at gymnastics and I've never seen that one!

I was wondering if you guys could help please, I'm thinking about becoming a Mystery shopper, and I've joined a few of the links on the first page but it seems none of them do business in the area that I live in. I live in South Wales, and I was wondering which company does jobs in that area.

I'm in North Wales and all the companies have jobs in my area from time to time. How long have you been worked for the companies on the front page?

No, it doesn't make sense really!

I am assuming they mean within 24h of the refund... if they're saying they would prefer you didn't return the product the same day, then you're unlikely to be able to upload the refund receipt within 24h of the purchase! I would get the MS company to clarify for you just in case...

Rubbing my eyes at some of the pedantic knit-picking that's coming through from a sassie proof-reader this evening, clearly doing a batch-review on some jobs I did a week ago.
