    So... I'm doing a department store for ABai on Saturday and I'm reading the briefing notes. I have to make a purchase and I can return it if I want (whcih is what I was intending on doing. However I will be in another city and only there for the day. The briefing notes say:

    Please ensure you make no exchanges or refunds in conjunction with your mystery shop i.e please do this on a separate occasion rather than during the same transaction as your mystery shop.

    Do you think it'll be ok if I go back later that morning/afternoon and return it then as it isn't part of the same transaction?

    Yes, that will be fine. Remember to take a photo of your purchase receipt first in case they keep it when they do the refund!

    Also, I've been taking on too much work and writing reports at 2am is never going to go well. One of the queries on one of my nightclub visits was "You have written 'I went to the feeeeeeeefeeef', please could you clarify what you mean by this" :rotfl:

    Lol excellent, I'm still chuckling 10 minutes later :rotfl:

    Did anyone do an egg shop in DH6 this morning? I was putting up a stand in the store and a lady customer came over and asked me where the eggs were. I found it highly amusing :o:rotfl:

    Also did a mobile phone store, but a male staff member was standing in the front door of the shop handing out leaflets to people in the mall. Didn't feel comfy taking a photograph with him watching me, so I went and did the rest of my jobs and thought I'd take the pic on the way back.

    Came back and he was still there! There was a clothes shop opposite, so I loitered around looking at some tops on the stands by the doors watching him out the corner of my eye. When he turned as someone in the shop said something, I snapped the picture and scuttled away :o:rotfl:
    Here I go again on my own....

    I did a chemist a few weeks ago and this woman was outside sweeping, chatting to passers by, leaning on the broom etc, I went past twice and then drove past, she was still yapping, so I took a pic with her in it. Explained to RE and never had a query.

    It *is* Pancake Day today though so lots of people legitimately buying eggs!! :D
    I was quite annoyed actually, as I bought some eggs in an egg shop myself, not as a MS!! Worth paying for the eggs myself thouh to not have to ask the rest of the daft questions!!

    Have to admit this is one of my favourite shops but couldn't believe the scenario for the fee. And no chance of MS it ever again. Maybe they forgot the digit in front of the fee :rotfl:

    is there a limit on how many jobs you can self assign on esa? i have 5 phone jobs and 1 photo job in my inbox and applied for the jewellery visit which has gone into pending

    (whilst i am !!!!ed off the fee has been reduced it is still better than re and i am sure it will not be filled with moronic questions)
