    Thanks for the heads up - I did indeed get a call from that very number tonight!

    Hi all,

    I have been doing ms on and off, I am back on it now. I have a question please, regarding burger shop for gyp I have done it before but never done the breakfast, is it standard what you should order ?? or there is a choice?

    I don't know why they don't reveal more before you can accept the job like RE?

    You have to order certain items. The assignment details are shown on the link on the left hand side, which you can access before taking the shop.

    When do we start wondering about when Gap might or might not pay? And Bare as well (they are the ones furthest up my spreadsheet not highlighted in the right month's colour for having paid. As they always are of course....)

    Well there is that but as soon as one employee knows that this month the scenario is 'little black dresses' then straight away they're all on alert. But if people are asking for anything they want to then we gain the upper hand again, so to speak. And I understand the fast food jobs need to be timed, but for most assignments the timings arn't even considered, it's the interaction they want to hear about.
    Seriously, when I asked my first question (as mentioned earlier) the MOS was onto me. Obviously someone had found out the scenario and had told everyone what to look out for. Busted, still got paid but the report was next to useless.

    Go in, ask/buy whatever you want, tell us how the interaction went. Simple. Real situations, real feedback.

    In an ideal world they wouldn't know as all the shoppers would be discreet and employees would not have access to the job brief under the guise of MS'ers ;)

    You can't do qualitative analysis with random data. It's got to be uniform so you can look for patterns.
    Here I go again on my own....

    You're right, I thought it used to show what you could order my mind is going!

    From memory there are 3 or 4 choices of breakfast meal you can order and you can order certain types of hot drink as well as cold.

    .... although no pineapple on pizzas is a mystery as they are made to order (unless perhaps it makes it soggy so they might not get good marks for 'crispy').

    pineapple has a tendency to burn at a lower temperature than cheese and so can affect the score of the pizza overall if shoppers were allowed to order it, its a shame, as i rarely do pizza jobs but Hawaiian is my favourite but I have to do a make your own
  • In the end I just walked in and walked out, I recorded the correct entry time on RE and put my exit time as 15 minutes after that and managed to get away with it....

    Can it be assumed that you also falsified your account of your visit, as well as your visit times?
