    I love reductions!! I was shopping at walmart in the USA and they had 40% off sale on stuff already reduced it was great!
  • Ahhhhhh, well that explains that then. Sorry, didn't mean to offend but it just all sounded far too good to be true in the MS world and as we're shopping the same areas we would most probably see some of the same jobs with some companies. We've had a few ppl on this forum spinning a few tales to show off but I can see now how you managed to get all that booty. Good for you, well done. Just don't tell me next week you've nabbed a package holiday for a family of four to somewhere hot.

    You can come along if I do :)
    Doubt it though, I can't even pick up a pub in Altrincham at the moment and all the airport jobs are airside too :(

    aah I want some work, it is very quiet, last January it was crazy. Never mind it could be because I have come too selective and am sticking to fee paying, non eating (waistline and tax). Other half who also MS is quiet too but he loves that!
    No Matter what you do there will be critics.

    Carrying on from my post above do you think with the recession we seem to be slipping back into, that there will be more mystery shopping on the basis that the companies left want to get it spot on to gain and keep customers? Or do you think it will go more as a lot of companies are doing asking for feedback (shown on the receipt) and less based on Mystery Shopping.

    Or less mystery shopping because every other day another company seems to be going into administration!!
    I was walking through town last week and loads of empty shops I walked past I was thinking That used to be such-and-such shop that I used to Mystery shop, so it's hardly surprising I see less and less locally these days as there's just barely any shops left!!!

    Monkeynut you are so right. I live near a huge shopping centre and there are now many empty units there too.

    Was that the horse with one horn?

    I occasionally do these if I know I'll be in the area anyway and working other shops. I generally get hungry after the first 10.

    You are right, it's not a money making exercise by anybodys standards.

    I have done that pub once before a while back because I was meeting my OH there anyway (she works in Altrincham).
