Hi everyone

I have just joined MSE although I have been lurking for a long time!:)

I have been reading through the mystery shopping thread over the last wee while and have been working my way through the list of companies on the first page.

I was wondering if someone can tell me what the "Secret Eating Place" that I have seen mentioned in this thread is because I cannot see it listed as an MS company on the first page - I could have overlooked it though!

Thanks and I look forward to "speaking" with you guys and thanks for all the great info in the thread.

Cheers:beer:

Hello and welcome

I know the company, and not sure why we call it that. I assume were not allowed to say. Unless somebody knows the reason. Anyone..........?

You are allowed to mention MS CO's, just not fees or clients

Some people get this mixed up

I saw somewhere in all their notes and bits of information that they didn't like discussion about them, so I've always used this instead of naming them.

Which I always find a ridiculous state of affairs

Cryptic naming confuses newbies (and others ) and is tantamount to naming them anyway!

As I don't work for the MDC (nor Associa :eek:) I have no qualms at naming them

I think what these companies object to (and others TBHO) is the actual discussion of their jobs on a public forum.

RE have recently added such wording to their front page, though it has been in their T&C's for ages.

AFAI am concerned naming the MDC and saying they do "dining" jobs is fine.

But that's just me

Thanks everybody for their help so far.

I'm working my way down the list on the first page but was wondering if anyone thinks there are some companies that would have more jobs in my area? I am in the North East of Scotland.

p.s I don't want to tread on anyones toes or pinch all the jobs up here so it's cool if you don't want to post any specifics.

Thanks

Well, assuming you're Aberdeen?Inverness way, ESA And Retail Eyes always have loads around there they try to get me to do. So, I don't think there can be anyone in that area.
Bare have got 2 in Turriff good ones too atm

Naming the MDC and saying they do retail jobs would be much more fun!

But that's just me

It must be then, that Ted looks after the South and the new allocater looks after the jobs in the North maybe?

Go Team Ted!

Another 'Team Ted' fan here, although I'm the opposite side of the M25 to most of you (as far as I can tell), apart from my odd visits to TG's patch - which will end after Christmas when the boy and I get our place here.

OK I take it back, I just checked my bank account and have received payment from Bare. :j

It was paid on the 18th. I just check my account infrequently, so it might be worth other people checking too. :j

I'm not being "funny" Rachel, but surely if you're waiting for an overdue payment, you'd be checking your account every day, before posting negative messages about the company in question on an internet forum?

I know it still doesn't make what they've done right, but I'm just saying...
