  • It's finding something in the allowable drop-down menus that's the problem. Market Researcher is there though - that one gives me the same price as Consumer Researcher so either of them are accurate enough I think.
  • Can't see any cheap European supermarkets on my GR page :( have they swiped it from IMS (if so, hurray! :D another company that is permanently embedded in my bad books) or the other one, which to my knowledge hasn't had a MS programme?

    In any case, I can see that I've completed 25 jobs for them, which is a nice round number, so I don't mind if it stays like that for a while :)

    It's the other cheapo European one. It's only a competitor visit for the cheap slapper. Off to do mine in a bit. The store has 1 till and that's it. Woooo.

    Ah, I see! Nice one, I myself do enjoy a quickie...job! ;)

    I understand the purpose of competitor visits, though it amuses me that they're paying you to spend money at one of their rivals! I've done them myself for ESA - wonder if the frozen shop noticed I spent more at most of the competitors I visited than their own stores? :p

    Hello All - I am brand new to this and this is my very first post so apologies if this is in the wrong place/area! I am involved with a company who, up until now have only carried out m.shopping assignments 'down South' however, they have secured a new client and are in urgent need of M. Shoppers from the 'Newcastle' area. If any of you are from this area of the North-East and interested in securing a little more work, then please 'PM' me - think that is the correct terminology!

    Any one else win on the we-don't-talk-about-food game of phone roulette for nice hotels this morning?

    No. :( It was engaged for ages, and then they only had remote Scotland left when I finally got through. Quite gutted!

    Woohoo, a TNS supermarket, a RA pharmacy and a MF cafe all in the same store, cuts costs dramatically, I love it when a plan comes together. Shame I'm in Falkirk though...

    Quick question if you don't mind to any of you who do this full-time (or as a main job) - what do you describe yourself as when getting car insurance? Because presumably you're declaring that you're using the car for business use?

    hmmmmm.... retail consultant sounds impressive :rotfl:

    I usually put either merchandiser or retail merchandiser. I tend to do more merchandising/auditing than MS work though.

    Thanks for tidying the thread up Andrea. I thought some of the comments were a bit mean yesterday.
    Here I go again on my own....
