Mystery Shopping Thread 20 **PLEASE DO NOT MENTION CLIENT NAMES OR FEES ON HERE**

DPJames

Hey tania. I get work from about 20 companies now. Do what i did, visit the very first page of this thread. There's a big list of different companies, sign up with as many as you like and see how it goes. Different companies work better for different people so it's hard to recommend a few. It's trial and error really. Just get your name down with them all and see what happens. I've a day off today, but tomorrow I've got 18 jobs to do, Sunday 15 and Monday 6, and i've got 12 already for next Saturday. The further away towns soon become quite viable once you get 5 or 6 jobs there to do in one day.

Good luck, and happy shopping.

Do most of you work for more than one company? Are there any that you would really recommend? I do R.eyes, and gap, but find with both that there can be weeks with nothing nearby. Any advice much appreciated

Somebody asks this question at least once a week and is usually met with mild abuse and ridicule.

I think it’s fair to say most of us work for lots of companies, I currently work for 18 but some on here work of 25+.

It depends on the area you are in and your demographic profile as to which companies will have work for you in your area. Read the OP on here, there is a list of companies, the only way to find out which are the best for you to work for is to sign up and try them.

Asking for recommendations won’t get you the right answer, some will say RE are great but you may find they have no work in your area, others will say ESA are rubbish but you may find they have lots of work in your area. Everyone is different and everyone has an opinion.

Try them all, a few at a time, see which are best for you, it costs nothing to sign up to any of them. Some you will find great others you will never do a single jobs for.

For the gap burgers, how do the MS reports affect bonuses. Do the staff get bonus/manager?

Hey Guys have a look at your RE accounts the allocator has accidently assigned the Underground sandwich audits to people without thier knowledge I logged on and saw 3 of my locals in my account! I got them released without penalty.....

The girl on the phone said "One of my colleagues has done this by error"

Anyone know what the period is until you can do French sandwiches again on RE? Did some in February but never see them here again when there must be loads (as they keep appearing on alerts).

Tania, Boredupnorth's right about the abuse aswell. The cliche on here will laugh and hurl abuse at you for asking novice questions. Some of them forget what it is like starting off and others just don't like anyone getting the headstart they never got. But some of us remember what it's like being a newbie and don't mind giving you a hand up.

Saying that though, the self proclaimed 'monarchs' have all gone quiet since I had a pop at a couple of them. Bullies man, just hit them back and they run crying to their mams.

Boeredupnorth and I will keep you right. Join the rebel alliance. We could use a good pilot like you, and we're planning a big attack on their Death Star soon. ;o)

I asked lots of questions when I first started, and still do as a 'relative newbie'
To be honest, most people were really friendly and helpful, so thank you everyone :-)

Unfortunately some people think it’s a crime that people ask a question that will take some of us seconds to answer rather than spend hours reading hundred’s of threads. Yes I know there is a search function before anyone points it out.

I personally read the OP but still had questions, when I asked I got the usual abuse telling me to read up on it before asking!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion on what is a stupid question; personally I will help anyone who needs it if I am able to help.

Thanks everyone - I did read the original post when I first started with R.Eyes, and thats how I found gap. I just wanted some feedback from those who are doing it here and now, incase some of the info on op wasn't quite so relevant now.

There is a difference between asking "What companies are good to sign with" which is listed on the FIRST page and are in good standing. But we get that question like 10x a month if not more.

And if it was a question like "Hi Ive read the first page and saw company X and Y does anyone have an opinion to which one has more opportunities etc" I would happily answer because said poster made an effort.

If you treat this thread like "rebels" etc it won't go far... There are a lot of posters here who have VAST experience but have stopped or post very little because of the fact people are taking the mick and hard earned research put into the first post is being ignored.
