    I think a lot of their jobs are restaurant/hotel stays.

    Someone will no doubt correct me if I'm wrong.;)

    Never worked for them myself, as they've had no jobs in my area...

    Your exactly right, just been offered 2 jobs

    I'm in shock!! I actually got somethign from React!! And its an easy one I walk past every day on the way to mybus home!

    I got a React job today - had applied for it in the past but always been turned down. I find with React jobs I get none for a while and then get a few so I'm making the most of it for now!

    Same here, my 1st ever job with them!
    Am I sad, but does anyone else get a kick out of getting a job that has never come up before or you have always been rejected for.
    I also managed a new supermarket on Grassroots as well today!

    That reminds me of something that crossed my mind recently when I started signing up to MS. How do Mystery Shoppers remain mysterious with all the shop CCTV around?

    Even one of MS companies I just got "certified" with (my OH would say I should have been certified long ago:rotfl:) implies in their blurb that they may check CCTV to check if I have done the job properly.

    A case of us watching them watching us?

    I've had only one CCTV check for a GAP burger but everything ended up being ok.
    Kind of feel like a criminal when they identify you.

    Had my description and car reg emailed to me by GAP ref a burger job but I've since been phoned and asked if I could do the same location so couldn't have been "outed" by staff. I imagine the management do need to review on occasions especially if it wasn't a pefect staff performance.

    I had GAP claiming I was wearing clothes I do not own and that I was rather older than I am. All turned out all right.

    Yeah, I had a GAP Burger one too. My first assignment there aswell. A drive through, they identified my vehicle but got my description well wrong (should have sent them a query about that). The job was spot on though so don't know why they wanted to know if it was me or not.
    Has everyone had this? Maybe they query everyone once so they can get a pic of us off the CCTV and put it onto a file somewhere.

    I've never had a CCTV query of anyone else, have you?
