MYSTERY SHOPPING THREAD 18 - please don't mention client names or fees on here!!

Flygirl767

I've just self assigned 3 travel agents photo jobs from ESA. Does anyone know if the store has to be open to do these? Just thinking it will be very dfficult to get clear pictures of the windows once the traffic starts as it is nose to nose buses in that street all day and I would have to stand across the road to get the photos. It says they must be taken in daylight but doesn't mention opening hours.

The store doesn't have to be open, but it is meant to be daylight, which at this time of year is opening hours!

You have to do alot of close up pictures to capture all the detail in the window.

And let me guess....the report is now invalid and they wont pay you? Any excuse they can find not to pay you, they will use, even though they give your report to the client. I HATE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thankfully I got paid. If they honestly think I was going to pay £12 out of my own money for that pile of c$ap I had there, they can dream on.

Re: the 10,000 new shoppers they have supposedly taken on. What a lot of bullish! As if. Maybe 100 or 500, but not that many.

I am on the South coast so hoping it will be light enough to pop down before 9 and do them! When you says close ups, do you mean you literally have to be outside the window taking the photos? In which case would definitely be easier if the store is shut!

Up here in the cold dark north, the stores are open by the time it is light enough! In the Summer I got them done by 6.30am! it is easier if they are closed, as you get some interesting looks and often asked what you are doing. "A project for my college course" worked for me.

They want very detailed pictures showing all the information in the adverts. - Can be 15+ shots per shop.

That's why I don't like watching games that I've put bet/s on.

You should've gone for Man U!

I just looked at bbc sport and didn't realise what i was going.

I had to place the bet in the window so didn't have a choice who i backed.
