    They have a panel of shoppers for these jobs......so not everyone will see them.

    The DIY on TNS may be gender restricted? I can certainly see them and I've taken a couple.

    Ah. brryssn has already replied.

    I can also see 249 jobs on ESA.

    I did three TNS DIY stores yesterday for PIP: reckon they're jumping ship? Or just testing the unknown water? :p

    The DIY store uses pip for video so I think they are testing out the RO if that makes sense
  • Three in Cwmbran and one in Newport (that I know of - I'm sure there must be more).

    It's to take photo's of a competitor store, but they're looking for high-res, high-quality daylight images, coming right up close to the windows. What would you say to the staff?!

    I saw them in Kent also but they're all gone now :(

    Has anyone seen the adverts for the program on channel 4 starting on the 18th? Mary Portas Secret shopper? Wonder what impact it will have on the industry?

    http://www.channel4.com/programmes/mary-portas-secret-shopper

    Maybe the retailers she hits up won't use a MS program anymore as they may feel they are cured?

    One of the coffee chains she does RE looks after and she said its one of the BEST places for Customer Service... which is funny because Ive always had a good experience in there too!

    'Try explaining that in under 150 words'
    'ha, how dare you ask a question that's normal and not obscure'
    'tenner says your not gonna get paid, you didn't get ice in your drink'
