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

fabsaver

I've been reading the latest email and I've rewritten it for them to make it a bit clearer

Did you know.....

We have some exciting assignments available as our usual shoppers suddenly won't touch them with a bargepole. We have even more coming up over the next few weeks and we are getting very worried that nobody will take them.

You need to be shopping there anyway, as our fees have now been slashed by up to 50% and are significantly lower than the minimum wage. As for expenses you must be joking!

However it's not all bad news. For some assignments you can even keep what you purchase. We couldn't really say anything else, since you will be paying for the items out of your own pocket and we no longer reimburse this cost. We will of course make it easier for you by continuing to tell you what you have to purchase.

We have also started studying the reports carefully in order to identify any instances where we can avoid paying the shopper and save some more money. It will now be necessary to search our website for mysterious symbols leading to further instructions. Failure to follow these hidden instructions will unfortunately mean that we will not pay you.

Please log on now and accept some jobs and you will save yourself from weeks of harassment. By doing this you will no longer have to leave your phone off the hook every day in order to avoid our endless calls.

We have successfully completed many projects in the past, when we paid our shoppers a proper rate of pay. Our clients are expecting that the quality of these reports should remain the same, even though we now pay in peanuts.

We hope that you will continue shopping for us as we are becoming increasingly desperate, and many of our shoppers have already told us where we can stick our jobs. Thanks and well done for not cancelling your account already.

I expect my sacking email will be to follow

Oh, that is so good.

i dare you to send it! :P

btw someone gave me a tip to stop the phonecalls- change your area to a smaller distance. you can easily change it when you look at the available jobs. thanks to whoever it was, i have not had any calls yet!

i find it amusing-
them- we have a job near you
me-where is it
them- its in nr32
me- i live in nr3, thats 1.5 hrs away. i am at work, its too far
them- we could give you an increased fee

hmmm perhaps i will just walk out of my job for a few hours to get an extra £1, dont think so! if i want extra money i will ask for it, not pretend it is too far away!

although i did lay it on one day and got them to pay my £1.5 bus fare when i was already going in the city anyway and the job was very well paid already and took 10 mins inc report!

Can you? My daughters due anytime now (3 days past her due date) and she didnt think she could work while on SMP. Or is it different because it's self employed?

She can't work for her employer who is paying the SMP (apart from her 10 KIT days) but she can do self employed work and there is no limit on how much she can earn.

However if she is claiming Maternity Allowance, she can't do any work at all be that employed or self employed.

just wondered if anyone could help... If you fail a test for a client on gap do they ever let you try again?

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the ESA screen and you should find a specific male job in Cov there.

I can see it right now, and I won't be MSing during half term, so it's all yours

You've beat me there! Still can't see it. Bottom of the page for me is Cork!

You get 3 attempts in one session and that's it.
Very occasionally after a long time of good reports they might let you try again
