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

Surely it would make sense for them to take you off the blacklist after doing the MS? A few shops I have done have required me to give my details and afterwards they've been deleted from the company's system, so wouldn't the test centres do this?

Gyp called me last nite to do a greasy burger today at an increased fee. They said the increase would show within a couple of hours. Well surprise surprise it doesnt. Its not worth me going for the normal fee and what are the chances of me getting this? If I cancel I will prob be sacked. Grrrrrrrrr!!

Did you get the name of the allocator that called you? I had a similar problem, and next time they called I mentioned missing out on the extra payment that xxxxx had promised. They looked into it there and then, said it would be added to the next booking and sure enough it was.

They also gave 2 Petrol and 2 corner shops for the inconvenience.

I don't share the negative views that many have of Gap. I have found them quite reasonable. (Even if their Geography is sometimes suspect!)

Hey. Just signed up to my first MS site - GAPbuster. Hope to be validated soon enough (is this a credit check or what?)

Does anyone know which MS websites are good for Scotland-Inverness and Aberdeen notably?

Looking forward to getting started however I won't be doing many jobs over the enxt few months as I have exams left right and centre!

Can I ask also, when registering for Retail Eyes it asks for 'company'. What do you put here?

Cat shops - Abai

Hi,
Could someone please give me a clue what these are. I have several links on my front page but none match 'cat shops'. ALso does anyone have a link for adding more companies, I've seen reference to some I don't have?
Thank-you

I did the TNS test last month and got through. I think I made one mistake on the first run but that was because I was being clever (not) and just skimming the notes.

That would involve the company to pass on your details which they don't...

, anyone know what they want me to put in here?
also i take it upsell is if i am asked to go large,but the meal i have to buy already has large sides and litre bottle drink so what will/can they offer me. Sorry if silly questions, just want to do job properly.

Hi you can say GAP whch makes it easier for us to answer :j
the upsells are like "Go large," additional sides, or extra thngs...
have a re-read of the breifng notes I believe there are some examples there.
