    well the main ones i have done are B AND Q and Barclays.I had to go shopping to b and q and ask about xmas tree stands and bathrooms,taking mental notes of who served me,were they dressed correctly,was the shop/carpark tidy, how long did they take with me and how many tills were open etc..And at Barclays i just had to pretend i wanted to open a new account with them,doing similar things again,taking note of names,and surroundings.They give you a script to work from,for various questions,but its really easy i have another at B and Q on fri.You then fill in a form in your car so you dont forget,and go online to give your results.My last one was at Subway at Alfreton,i got a free sub of the day plus payment...approx £10 for around half hour work.you dont have to accept any assignments as they email you with the jobs available and you just call up if you want to do it for them.first come first served basis..hope that explains things!!

    Possette, whilst your information is great for people considering MS, I'd advise you to edit your post in regards to names of companies and dates/fees. Most MS companies have people that comes on this board and they can withdraw you from their list of Mystery Shoppers as their breifs state that assignments are confidential.

    Can I suggest you check out this thread... http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=223762

    the first post has info on different Mystery Shopping Companies, how to sign up, how jobs are allocated, how you get paid and also the Tax and National Insurance implications. Grassroots info is on there.
