Snap!!
Yoghurt/mousse are my favourite when I'm in a hurry. A quick poke in the top of one of the tubs. If I have more time then I buy a reduced sandwich and say it's off. Usually get a refund for that which is a bit more money in your pocket.0 -

Yes and it's only reimbursement of the first item the assistant recommends, so if they point out something costing £1, you only get a £1 back!Here I go again on my own....0 -
Im doing a bar in newcaslte airport today for RE
the little picture things says it's a food and drinks visit but the extra requirements say I only have to buy a drink
CONFUSED
what do you reckon
the reimbursment doesnt seem enough to cover food and drink either0 -

Or the first 3 products. I did one recently because I suffer from insomnia, so I got offered a trio of products to use together, pills, oil and teabags. So I claimed for all 3 and got money for them. Woohoo.
PS. They have started doing muscle powder shops too. I saw one at 6am the other morning and as I was answering the questions, someone tabbed it! Boooo.
PPS. What's with REACT? Not seen any visits on for a fortnight!0 -

Spent the last 20 minutes plotting a route around them all and trying to see if there are any others I can do on the way. There is a pharmacy on RE literally opposite one of the sites but you need a prescription for it and I don't know anyone who has one :mad:

In my experience, these stores also seem to sell an awful lot of 1 pint milks which leakJanuary 2012 GC £296.96/£3000 -
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
Where are the pineapples? (whilst standing in the fruit and veg department with the world's biggest pineapple display)January 2012 GC £296.96/£3000 -
