Thanks to Onsite, Karen at React and Adele at the company that starts with A. Had to drop a load of stuff as my Pops passed away yesterday. Emails I recieved back were nice and shows that there are a few decent folk at some of these MS companies.

Take care peeps.

Sorry to hear your sad news

Hi guys, with the place that can't be named, is there any fee or is it just the reimbursement listed? Do you get to 'keep the change' if you spend less that the reimbursement amount?

Thanks

Mystery Dining? Reimbursement only to the amount spent unless it states there is a fee attached to the job. But the brief clearly shows if there is a fee.

I had one for a while, but it was too much hassle. I had to feed her at meal times and it was hard to get her to remain five paces behind me. She could carry some stuff mind.

Sorry to hear your sad news. I'm glad some of them have been decent about it.

just prepared notes for TNS Sassie main supermarkets and it took at least 40 minutes, quite a lot to get through!

do you need to get the staff members names as there is no mention of this in the notes/questions?

Just done the same, no mention of staff names in the brief or the report so as far as I'm concerned they don't get names.

Agreed - no names! Hard to get used to ..... still, once I had got my head round it, the visit and report were not too lengthy.

you obviously didnt try the right companies and briefs then
I work for regular contracts as well as adhoc briefs, i provide covert and overt audit services, mystery shopping, video and audio services too
Why would i hand on a plate to some one I dont know contacts that would lead to losing work ? I run a business not a charity. i provide help where i can but equally dont give people the answers they want, they should reasearch them for themselves, as i did.

i rarely have to answer more than 10 or questions per response unless it is a hotel, airline or similar brief and pay is reflective of this,.

the reason people dont name them directly is that is is a direct breach of the contract you have with the ms company to do so, so people give alternative names. people in the industry will know but those not will perhaps take a little longer if at all.

Sorry if it didnt work out for you, but thats good for me, less competition in the industry for work.

Erm, aren't these being done after 5pm? Or has this one been done before under another wave/name?
