Mystery Shopping Thread 21 *PLEASE READ THE OP FIRST**PLEASE NO CLIENT NAMES OR FEES*

There are loads of double fee premiums for gapburgers at the moment, bit gutted I did all mine over the last fortnight for the usual fee - I've done the max for them per month now! Ah well. Still crossing my fingers for one of the bonus wins, hahahaha (deluded). I'm sure if they get desperate enough they'll ring... I'm off duty until Monday now though (well after a pizza home delivery tomorrow, yum) - holiday weekend with OH planned and nowt getting in the way of that

My 18yr old is an lgv class 1 driver and he drives a 10yr old 1.0ltr Peugeot. His insurance this year was just short of £4000 unbelievable amount of money for insurance if you ask me. I have 3 classic cars ans 3 classic lamberettas all of which are worth a small fortune. The insurance on the lot is £150 a year!

Its the first two that will count plus im assuming he's single (as in not married)?

as a professional driver, he will face astronomical fees, and many insurance companies wont cover at all, at least online, youll need to call and speak to their brokers

add in the young age, licence of only 1 year, plus unmarried (and not a home owner ?)
hes ticking all the boxes for the price youve quoted

as a former professional driver (people not goods), single male, non house owner, ive faced that farce before too... thank goodness for company all driver insurance ;;)

Hi I no longer do mystery shopping but I am just doing my first self-assessment. I appear (on paper) to have made a loss, is this ok to put down? is this normal? Thanks

N.I.M

I'd double check my figures first but if you have made a loss then yes you tell them you made a loss.

I can still do another couple, and I noticed that all the fees are increased, but the ones available are mostly sit-in this weekend. Not sure I want to spend the Saturday night before Christmas eating my tea on my own in there :rotfl:

Am in another area of the country from start of next week until the new year and have had a look at what's available. There seems to be a few weekday ones so am just going to wait and see what I can pick up.

My tip would be don't type the report with a wriggly baby on your lap!!

Abai are slightly frustrating in that you can't see the questionnaire beforehand, so just make sure you read the brief doubly well so you know exactly what you're looking for and what you need to do, particularly if you are having to time things (i.e. catalogue shop?!?)
Good luck!

Have just done my first ABAi too - my tip would be to try to make some discreet notes on the visual description of staff you encounter. I did not make these notes but questionnaire asks for description, i.e. m/f, height, hair colour, approx age.

Good luck!
