MYSTERY SHOPPING THREAD 19 - please don't mention client names or fees on here!!

Have picked up an ESA job which I'd like to do tomorrow, but when I try to open the detailed instructions it goes to a Error 404 File or Directory not found page.

Can't work out how to contact ESA to ask about it - does anyone have an email address/telephone number for them, or by any chance does anyone have the instructions for a charity for four legged creatures that bark, scenario 4, late pullout?

Could do it Thursday or Friday, but tomorrow would be more convenient.

Did a MS today I had to purchase a product and will be refunded some of it and that is my fee.

Aren't they generous? :rotfl:

Hopefully sold it on so that I can make £8 out of it

Not worthy of an alert but I've seen quite a few dropped train station jobs and cookies on RE with a deadline of Thursday. I've picked up three and they all state to purchase a hot drink (so it's not allowed to be too warm tomorrow for me lol) but don't know if the others have the same purchase requirement.

You know "reveal" shops? I've never done one before as I've always thought they will be a bit awkward. Do you just say "I'll have to stop you, as I'm a mystery shopper!"

The brief will normally tell you how you should do it. For example when you get to the checkout to pay you hand them a letter or after you have paid you mention that you have visited today to do X and hand them an award.

Thanks - I know the brief says what to do, I'm just not sure exactly how to do it, if that makes sense - mine just says you have to stop them before the credit check. So do I yell "STOP RIGHT THERE! I'M A MYSTERY SHOPPER!" and they will know what to do, or something else?

For future reference, try to refrain from including fees and reimbursement values in your posts!

Although maybe at least it will help show that it's not the easy money that lots of people think it will be.

For anyone who has picked up a "Big Cook" job on Gyp, I had confirmation from them last night that you have to do the visit on your own .

At the relevant point, I just say "I have to tell you at this point that I'm a mystery shopper." Usually they just laugh or are shocked, then they do their bit and give you whatever you need to take away with you.

Happy birthday misssarahleigh. Hope you have a lovely day xx
