Hello. I did this for a couple of years. I signed up to STORECHECKERS, RETAIL EYES and RETAIL MAXIM.

To me it sounded a good job, but my own opinion is you get very little for the effort. You maybe get asked to go to Subway and purchase a sandwich.

But there are 30 odd questions to answer about your visit and also upload a photo of the branch. So in those few minutes you are in the store, you are having to ask a daft question to check the servers product knowledge but also remember what promotional posters were on display, how long they took to prepare the sandwich in seconds, how many people were in the store at the time.

I could go on and on. Sometimes, you just could not remember everything they wanted to know and the answer you gave the MS company may not have been 100% accurate.

For that visit, you would get £3 refund for the purchase and maybe £8 for the visit. Your have then to input all the answers to a web page of the MS company etc etc. The input can take 30 minutes of your time on top of how long you speant getting to and back from the shop.

It sounds a great job, my opinion is the shopper is being exploited a wee bit. Someone else will probably come along and say that is not the case - there is a whole post on there about it and I upset a few people some months ago when I posted on it. They called me a troll and had my post removed.

Good luck if you do decide to go ahead with it. For me, I was better off financially, just getting a part time job in a shop.

Shut up!! Aswell IS TWO words?!

Well oil me up and call me Elvis. I have forever thought, and written it as one word!! Since Primary school. Did no one think to correct me at any time!?

As well, man that just looks weird to me. Are you lot pulling my todger?

!!!!!!, Here comes 10/10 from now on then with the proof readers I suppose.

Seriously. Is it two words?

DPJames

Well I googled it and apparently I am correct. 'Aswell' is just one word.
America, the dictionary, the Internet, you lot, my wife, and everyone else are wrong. Mugs.

What about 'Thank you'? Is that one or two?

yonk

I googled it too and it's definitely two words.

The Internet's wrong though Yonk. And you are aswell.

I'm sure the nice people at Cambridge will change it for you, if you ask nicely.
