I've never actually had that problem ever, apart from with RE. I did a station sandwich shop. All done perfectly. I was given a very very faint receipt. So even with my 5mega pixel camera it would not show up. Got thick troll in the proof reading team query it 5 times even though I did a huge paragraph in the report saying THE RECEIPT WAS FAINT, I CAN POST IF YOU WANT. Anyway, I'm only getting paid the fee now and not the reimbursement and the report was accepted. It's not my fault the receipt I was given was faint. What was I supposed to do, go back and complain and say I'M THE MYSTERY SHOPPER, GIVE ME A CLEARER RECEIPT. The reimbursement is only a few quid, so I will let it go this time I think.

Is there anyway you can change the colour balance on Paint or some similar program?

I had a really faint receipt before and OH did something with it on Photoshop...like I have a clue?! :rotfl:

Well I have seen it all now A certain MS company that was asking folk to take 3 different angle pictures of the store that they had just shopped has just put some asssignments up that only ask for the photos! The reason???? The first set of photo's were not good enough. Sounds like easy money if you are in the area.

I had a message about one of my egg shop photos. Couldnt see any problem with it but rang them back. The lad I spoke said he couldnt either!! That was last week, havent heard anything else about it.

I tried various things and even scanned it, but to no avail. I just gave up in the end. And the flamin' sandwich was nasty too. LOL.

All my mystery shops are done now. Unless something super glam comes along (yeah right!), I'm not picking anything up until after Xmas. Woohoo.

I am STILL snowed in and now have about 30 overdue and rescheduled shops to do.:eek:
I was hoping to finish this week and have a couple of weeks off before Xmas, fat chance now!

Good grief. Where are you based? Hope it suns up soon and starts to melt. I was dancing on ice today but managed to get mine done. That's another load off my mind. Now I can chill.

Ditto.

I have nothing planned for next week and want to try and keep it that way. If I can get out and get the 36 shops I have to do this week I will have even managed to do all my Christmas shopping. Although this is fast becoming a challenge.

It says they're planning to use the photos for marketing purposes, so they shouldn't have cars or people in the foreground. I might be wrong, but it didn't say that in the original brief..?

I think we all assumed it was "proof of visit" or "to check what the fascia looks like" as per normal, rather than for a pretty picture on their website! Wouldn't it be easier to get their staff to do those???

One of the egg shops that has popped up in my area as a 'photo-only job' is one that ESA were desparately trying to get covered last Thursday. I turned it down as it was snowing very heavily all day and couldn't get my car out.

I sincerely hope that the poor person roped into do it last week got paid in full. How on earth can you take 3 high quality, non-blurry photos in a blizzard????

Arghhhhhhhhhh :mad::mad:

Did a chicken drive thru at lunchtime.
Asked for a side order of gravy at speakerbox.
Got order at window.
Asked at window if gravy was inside.
Told 'yes'.
Looked inside.
No gravy.
Better still........
No gravy on receipt!!!! :eek::eek:

Wonder if Ill be paid? :rotfl::rotfl:

EDIT TO SAY: in cases of staff mistakes, do they record the drive thrus at the chicken shop?
