    Although I don't want to criticise the fairy god mother of mystery shopping, I do remember a few mentions last month about how it can be very annoying when you see something on the alerts thread you feel should not be there.

    Well I just stopped mid aisle in Asda to look at the thread as there was an alert, only to see the alert was a public telling off of the previous poster who posted over an hour ago. Could this not have been sent as a pm? The second alert is just as annoying as the first but one of them knew everyone would get an email. The other probably did not.
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!

    Not worth an alert
    I've just put back a Japanese food visit in Glasgow to be done by end of March on secret eating

    Definitely - people need to practise what you preach.

    That aside, the thread is brilliant.

    Has anyone done a hotel for the secret eating company. I have one tomorrow and for some reason I am bricking it. If anyone has done one, can they pm me and tell me it's not as scary as I am thinking it's gonna be? LOL. PS. I saw a new zealand-ish burger shop on RE just a bit ago. Don't know if it's a new upload or someone dropped it. Good reimbursement and a decent fee too. Keep your eyes peeled.

    I did the NZ burger shop on Monday - was very tasty and got no comments on my report :T Probably someone dropped the job although I would like it if there were a new upload.
