    Anyone sick of the burger jobs? About the receipt thing.

    Assistant: Do you want a receipt?
    Me: Yes
    Assistant looks at you like you're alien (or mystery shopper) and their manager quickly comes over and smiles and gets you the receipt cos every time I go into the burger places, the receipt machine either doesn't work or they don't know how to print off a receipt or it's jammed!

    They seem to know instantly that I'm a mystery shopper just cos I want the receipt which is wrong.
    I'm sick of the Bare car circuits so wont be applying for them anymore.

    It's just too much effort. I can't stand all that false negotiating on both parts. They're lying about their best price, I know they're lying about their best price, they know I know they're lying about their best price. The whole song and dance is just boring. There's also too much waiting around while the sales rep goes back and forth, back and forth to his manager trying to get a better deal, while what he is really doing is catching up on an eposide of Doctors or has nipped out for a burger.

    I'm sick of the burger jobs, but mostly 'cause it's getting sunny and I'm craving salad. Even with asking for a receipt I've only been rumbled once that I know of, I think it's because I still dress like a slightly nerdy student, who probably has a spreadsheet for everything they spend (I was that student 10 years ago!).

    Every time I pass a car dealership I'm going to be thinking of the staff hiding out and watching Doctors!

    I've never done a car job as I'm not sure I could do the negotiating. Do you have to go alone? My sister would be amazing at it.

    I noted in the first post it states about Performance in People paying by BACS, how do I tell them my bank details?

    Nothing on the shopper area on their site, the "Update Records" button just updates address details and shopping preferences etc.

    Anyone know?
    PM me your email address and I'll forward you the form you need to complete and post it.

    I got an email from Paypal which I think said the money was in my account (I'm not entirely sure since it was in a language I can't read) but the moneys not there! Will have to check again tomorrow, hopefully it's just got waylaid somewhere.

    Pennies/Squidge, either of you do any work for e-dig? Finally got approved this week and I can see a south region survey on there, but i'm not sure if that's us, or whether there's normally an east region that isn't available at the moment. Ta x

    When i first joined i read the first few posts and asked 'specific' questions. I think people just find it a little annoying that they have worked hard and others expect the information to be handed on a plate. but then again thats just me.

    I prob annoy you all now. but i annoy you about things that aren't on the first page lol:j

    Wot she said for me too! ;)
