Mystery Shopping Thread 22 *PLEASE READ THE OP FIRST**PLEASE NO CLIENT NAMES OR FEES*

This is going to sound like a really dopey question and I'm ready for a sarcastic response for being so stupid but I've got a Age test on TNS in about a weeks time. Do I get given anything other than the 'visit brief'

It tells me to be familiar with all sections of the document but I can't see a document just the paragraph of the visit brief

Well just back from a week on the Nile and felt ready to get back in to it today...until I looked at my diary and realised I have 2 Supermarket audits, 3 charity shops, a cinema, a chemist, a digital TV and an electrical store to get through....it's going to be a long day and now really can't be arsed!

Dude, you seem uber knowledgeable. What do you think I should do? Shall I just go and do all 5 tomorrow and say I never got the dictaphone or do 4 and then tell them I can't do the dictaphone one? I'm getting all stressed out over nothing. Eeeeek.

mimi, did you get an answer on this? I'm in the same boat, have a jam packed day and no dictaphone! Gotta get started at 9 otherwise I'll not fit it all in! Got up at 5am to print off the paperwork, having understood the briefing (and thus thinking I knew what I was doing :rotfl:) and a) my printer packed up :eek: and b) having re-read everything, I'm now more clueless than ever :eek::eek:

Blimey, good luck everyone who's phone shopping today _pale_

It's a shame that you can only do 2 per wave.

Doing mine tonight, any tips for runners after 5:30 today?

It's a nightmare isn't it.
I've moved all my phones to next week because I simply can't be ar*ed with them today. Concentrating on mopping up some glasses for TERN at silly inflated fees today and a couple of late cancellations for ESA.

Almost wish I'd done the same Trevor! I didn't get that 9am start I needed, and I have a trip to the library to print off more paperwork as I only got a bit of it printed before my printer packed up!

I'm just going to do the first shop and see how it pans out. I daresay I'll be on here later screaming for help :eek: (much more useful than contacting TNS!) I apologise in advance.....

Is it wrong that I'm wondering what a chart tracking opinion of each MSC over the 22 threads would look like?

No response yet, but I am going out in a bit. Best thing to do is just do 4 out of the 5. At the end of the day, I don't see it as being my fault for them leaving it until the very last minute to send them out. They left no scope for the things to be re-delivered or gave us any time to sort it out etc.

I am not going to stress over it, life is too short. If they email and say "we have de-allocated them all", that's their problem, not mine.

Mimi is now relaxed :A:A:A:A
