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

Really? Good job I waited to see what the answer would be from this thread.

If Gap investigate and tell them that I had a reservation then they'll probably know who I am anyway, I wouldn't think many people book. For the next one (I picked up two jobs) I reckon I'll book under someone else's name.

Yeh I'd do that too haha. I admit that unless I'm going at a peak time I don't tend to book.

There was a case a while ago of someone going to a restaurant and the report wasn't great. Then an email turned up apparently from the shopper from a hotmail account to the restaurant complaining. The restaurant used this as ammunition to the company who then said they weren't going to pay the shopper.

Here you go! https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/25424095#Comment_25424095

Wow, that story was unbelievable. Thanks for warning me!

I'm afraid to go back to a 'local' supermarket near me now, I gave them a terrible report a couple of weeks ago (including that they had a handwritten sign behind the counter, "blunt wraps £1"). The shop was so ghetto they wouldn't bother stitching me up with an email, they'd just beat me up with a bottle of White Lightening.

LOL. I did a local shop (for local people!) with RM. I gave them a bad report because the shop was carp. I'm petrified of going in now, keep getting the evil eye!

I'm loving the TNS phone shops. The questionnaires looked really scary, but they are quite easy to do. And phone shop staff just wanna kick you out of the door within 2 minutes, so you just can't go wrong.

To check your bank details for React, login, go to your profile and select extended profile - your bank details are stored in here. If I remember rightly (as I don't get much off them) they pay by BACs.

Although if they happen to be wrong note you need to inform them they've been changed as they aren't automatically updated.

Hmm, strange. Just had a look on Grass Roots, and there was a bank available in a town that I don't have any of my postcodes set to, and isn't all that near, like it's not the town next door or anything, and I've never seen on there before!
I guess they must open it up to more shoppers further away if no one picks it up.

Was that an Aniseedballs-up on the Alerts thread? (LOL)
