Whenever I complete a report for a fast food outlet, I always seem to get 'your times seem faster or slower than they should be- please explain' I am very careful with the timings. Does this happen to anyone else? It's not any one particular outlet, it seems to be on every report I do.

This always happens to me and I just normaly write if the time is good that I found the amount of time acceptable.

It is very random, so do ring them - they were very helpful with me! Town centre postcodes give me a range of jobs, but it seems to be retail parks that cause the problems. One bizarre example of randomness is that I have a postcode down for a retail park. I see the travel agent jobs here, but not the supermarket, even though it is next door but one. I was advised specifically to put down the supermarket address in order to see it.

Worked!

Probably won't see the travel agent job anymore though :think:

Maybe it's cos I used to shop for them and then stopped. Have only just re joined. Will call them on Monday. Had a really friendly dude on the phone on Friday. Told me to 5 addresses on instead of 3. Hope he can help.

Thanks chick :j:j

Hi

Has anyone been doing any bank jobs recently?

I have been given loads of booklets and leaflets on all sorts of products and the briefing notes don't say how long to keep them for - what is anyone else doing with these?

I am worried my file might overflow!!!

I keep the front cover and the page (often the back cover) that shows the reference number/date, plus any pages that the MoS marked or wrote on. I chuck the rest in the recycling straight away.

I do the same with phone and travel agent brochures.

I get this message as well - with every report!

Please can someone send me a client list for GR, I'm not having much luck with them, have done 1 job at a supermarket which they offered me after I rang them as I had been with them for months and never see anything. I'm in the North West.
Any help with the postcodes and I'd be very grateful.

RE: GR...

I would suggest as its been mentioned to add travel agents, supermarkets, and I was told Town centres just pick something off your high street. For me since I live close to edinburgh I used a shop on Princes street as it has evrything on it...

I'm sorry but I can see Tractor Girls point of view. Every time we sign up to a different mystery shopping company, we are also signing a confidentiality agreement to not disclose details of the assignments we will undertake. Yet people are asking for a list of clients. Yes we are in the main, a friendly lot on this board and are willing to help others. However, it sometimes does not hurt to use your own initiative sometimes! GR give you 5 address options. Play around with different addresses. See what crops up. Put in the postcode of your local shopping centre, retail park, local supermarket. If you can't see anything just yet, it may be because there are no jobs to see at the moment. Patience is a virtue and all of that. Sometimes, you will shop jobs appear outside of your postcode area but it depends on the number of shoppers in your area.
Rant over. I'm off to watch X Factor.
