    Have had a quick lok through here and haven't found the answer, so I shall ask again and appologise if it's been asked countless times before!
    On Aba-i I only have 1 client showing - a clothes chain. However I've read people talking about their petrol jobs, and others that I can't remember. Why don't I have these, I have only recently signed up with them if that makes a difference, and how can I get them?!? And am I right that to look at the list of available jobs, of which up till now I have seen a grand total of 0 ever, that I need to click on the Clothes chain link then search. Is there not a general search for any clients (When/if I get others in the first place)!?!? Am rather confuzzled! :s

    Will cost you nothing if its not stocked.
    Will cost you a fortune if you find 100 bottles!!

    That's about as accurate answer as I can give you! It all depends!
    I'm keeping away from those types of assignments. Got bit in the but as there were quite a few items in the stores I did and I left myself out of pocket for the weekly shopping budget. :eek:

    Thanks for the replys. Luckily, TG it was the former! Hopefully will still get paid??!

    Hopefully, you'll get the reimbursement back soon, so that the MG's can eat again!:D

    *facepalm* I had looked, but I only read the first 2 lines, and didn't see the adding cllients bit! *must stop telling Mystery shopping companies how observant I am*!!! :D

    I've done that now, but when I put my details in, it doesn't come up with my username to select. It just goes to the next page to ask for my address etc, and when I try to put the same username it just tells me to pick a different on as that one is taken?!?!

    I'm so disappointed. On my 70th covert photo shop I got challenged just after I took my last photo :( I was hoping to make it through the whole programme! Lucky I was already done! My marketing project excuse worked well and I should contact head office haha.

    I had a nightmare doing the department cafe job for Aba-i today! It's all my fault though. I forgot to ask for a receipt and when I went back to the till and asked for one a few minutes later, I was given a hand-written receipt. Since the brief says they wouldn't process the payment without 'a valid till receipt' I figured out that I had to purchase a hot meal & a drink all over again. Ended up spending way more than the fee I'll get (& with a very full belly after 2 paninis, a coffee and a mocha)!

  • Does anyone have a good excuse I can use if I get rumbled taking photos in a supermarket? This is about my 12th visit, I feel I'll be caught soon.

    Tell them you're learning marketing at the local college and that you're doing s project on the placement of consumer products within a supermarket. Pretend you're completely thick and didn't realise you would need permission to take pics. If you're over 25 say you're a mature student returning to work after kids or military service.
