    Am I correct in thinking that RE are only covering your purchase with the healthy shops? No fee :shocked:

    I did one yesterday...as I mentioned the smell..the receptionist looked at me as if I had 2 heads and just said nothing!!
    Cue me looking like a real lemon:rotfl:

    If there is EVER a question to make you stand out as the Mystery shopper this has to be in the top 5 of the most idiotic!

    We did a visit this week and as there was no smell I answered the question as such-didn't ask the receptionist anything.

    Last months re-brand questions were at least plausible ;)

    I think the Hotel firm are fishing with various questions-hopefully they'll get a sensible one next month.

    Top 5 Mystery shopper giveawys not in any order

    1 Can I have a receipt in the burger place.

    2 Can I have a coffee and a pint of beer

    3 I'd like to pay for ONE game of tenpin bowling

    4. After buying a full cream moccha in the shop asking for a low calorie cake!

    I'm sure we all have other Q's

    I will add... 99% of the questions for the Stamp jobs.

    Have a great trip, safe journey.

    1) Or as your doing an icecream at a cinema and you order a nice large cone then ask Can I have a large coffee please!

    2) In a 24hr grocery store, that your local to-- Excuse me Greeter what are the store hours?

    I'll second that! I always find them very "I'm going to ask a really stupid question using words that no-one uses and make you think I don't have a clue.....and then ask for a specific leaflet that I'd have had to have done my research to know about"

    I don't do them very often 'cause I always feel awkward asking the questions. :o

    Oddly enough there is one place that I shop regularly that I would have thought they would have twigged me by now, but I don't think the staff actually get the reports or know that they're being shopped. It's a restaurant that is visited weekly, I know the staff by sight and the service is still mediocre. The last time we went they forgot to put our started order through!

    I have been known to visit there 3 times in one month :think:

    What about:

    I'm a bit hard of hearing and can't use the telephone. Is there anyone here who can help me?
