Quiet here too.

I've not applied to the secret eating place but I'm thinking about it.

You might as well join the bandwagon. It's a good company to work for in my opinion.

PS. Where are the EGGS and PERFUME visits? Not seen any for yonks! Don't tell me RE has swiped them too.

Never done egg shops before so doesn't make a difference to me. And Mimi you've changed your glittery Mariah Carey avatar!

After a dismal January, February is very busy for me.

This week I've got 5 super shopper, 3 supermarkets, 2 pub lunches, 3 coffees and a couple of other jobs in Bluewater. The rest of the month is starting to fill up nicely as well.

So glad to see the back of Mariah, personally can't stand her! I need the eggs too. Have about 3 jobs only this week. Have applied for 6 million edigs so hoping I might get some of them to pass the time.

Had emails about half an hour ago allocating loads of eDig jobs

I think the eggs haven't been on for ages as they are preparing a new special scenario for us, including the following additions:


1. Approaching the deli counter and asking if they sell cheese.

2. Approaching a member of staff and asking if they will come back to your house to cook dinner for you as you have no idea what to do.

3. Buying eggs, observing whether the member of staff checks them at the till, then return to the store within 10 minutes after smashing the lot and see if they offer a refund or replacement.

4. Taking 3 photos of each member of staff (covertly) from the left, right and directly in front. Making sure there are no obstructions and that their name badge is clearly visible.

All for a new, reduced fee of course

All of which should be done wearing a HIVI jacket and hard hat with the words UNDERCOVER MYSTERY SHOPPER AT WORK emblazoned across them.

You should also be prepared to act dumb when asked for your loyalty card, act uber-interested and then refuse to fill out the form when a pen is shoved in your face.

and if you are really lucky, they will phone you whilst in bed for an extra £2.

Do RM do newsagents near you? I stocked up on eggs last week when I did 3 newsagents. Mind you, it's nowhere as good as the other company that do the eggs. Pah!

PMSL! To be honest, I love doing the EGG shops. The staff go from being awkward and not polite to super duper friendly when you go back. And they stroke your hand and smile so hard it looks like their face is gonna break! All good.

TMDC rejected my application which p*ssed me off a bit.



Now I appreciate that they aren't advertising in my area, however they are advertising by my Gran and my Sister so 2 areas where I go to regularly. All they say on the application is you must be willing to complete your first jobs in these areas, and they should be within travelling distance - not a problem, my gran only lives an hour away! If I'm honest, if I got offered a job nearby I'd probably go and see her more often.

I know full well that my application quality was good as I spent ages on it, and thats not be blowing my own trumpet, but it just riles me when you spend a good hour of your time on an application just to get a ridiculous generic no thanks response.

I'm amazed that a company can advertise that they need people to cover an area and then when someone applies they turn them down.

Rant over....

Join the club :cool:

IIRC this company does NOT want experienced Mystery shoppers so when you apply do NOT mention you work for others.

I forgot that so got turned down.

(I had succesfully applied before but never did any jobs (not worth it) so got "de allocated" :eek:)
