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

Littleoldme

I have to do my first open stock audit for the company with no name (or that can not be named ) today. The brief says that if there is not enough stock out you have to get it replenished. Stupid question but how do you do that, do you ask one of the shop assistants to do it, or are you meant to do it yourself?

Thanks

I have done a few visits for RE and done a 100 mile round trip for TNS! Just wondered why now I have over 50 points in my RE account I cannot view anymore jobs its just saying 5 Misc jobs available and they are all abroad or in airports, I have a wide area available (Over 40 Miles!) However I have had no jobs available for nearly a week now? I am based in south east london/Kent.

It depends how quick you are as well. There have been a few alerts this week for RE and other companies but when I've logged in there was no work available for me. I've since seen other people on here in my area saying they bagged the work, so they must have been quicker than me. That's just the way it goes sometimes in this game. When they're all out doing their shops though, I'll be at home bagging all the work :rotfl:

Not sure what that job was but in general with merchandising and auditing jobs, if it says you need to get stock replenished, then you need to get the stock out. Just say to someone that you need to find the ........... and ask to get it out of the stock room yourself. They're used to reps putting stock out, but some stors do have protocols like not letting you in the warehouse unattended or if it's valuable and locked in a cage you'll need to find a key holder.

Hey,

First of all I am relatively new to MS'ing. I have done a few visits for RE and done a 100 mile round trip for TNS! Just wondered why now I have over 50 points in my RE account I cannot view anymore jobs its just saying 5 Misc jobs available and they are all abroad or in airports, I have a wide area available (Over 40 Miles!) However I have had no jobs available for nearly a week now? I am based in south east london/Kent.
Also I have been signed up with GR for over a month and still no jobs available? They must not like me _party_

It's not you - I live in Medway and have pretty much the same spread geographically as you do (and have a LOT more than 50 points with RE ). I'm currently seeing what you are seeing on RE. This week has been pretty thin for them but as they are under maintainance all day today I'm thinking they are holding back any big loads until after the system comes back up. GR have had 2 jobs all month in this area so again it's not you-and for GR there's *someone* around here with a VERY fast finger (or maybe I just don't check GR enough )

Oh no you won't now everyone has these bloody smartphones!

I am a bit of a Luddite but think buying one of them is the only way I'm going to get much work now!:eek:

Not guilty -Might have been TG though ? Actually for some reason I had never signed up with React -not sure why but sorted that now.

Grr I was off to a DIY job but the link won't open so just Bluewater and that station in the middle of nowhere nearby-just debating if it's just those if train is going to be easier than road....Oh the decisions !!

I'm thinking the same too. Did actually get a HTC DESIRE HD, but it was the size of a remote control and I doubt it would have fitted into my pocket! :o

For the first time in ages, I have ZERO mystery shops lined up. Nothing is showing on any of the websites in the West Yorkshire area. Either someone is clearing them all out or nothing is going on. Boohoo.

I commented the other day that there doesn't seem to be much in the way of uploads and alerts at the moment I've done well out of GFK & the company who cannot be named so far this month but am struggling a bit for the rest of the month

I find that on the Blackberry I can not get onto sites such as Grass Roots. I have to try to get on on my oh's Iphone.
