Thanks NIM. Never really looked as there was nothing local.

Any tips on taking photos of the front of a shop? The one I've just seen is in a very quiet area and it has a big glass window where staff would be able to see me, I think I'd stick out like a sore thumb taking it

Mileage question…

If a company offers to pay mileage for a visit, and that visit requires two people, would you include the mileage incurred in going to collect that person before proceeding to the location to be assessed?

Personally, yes. I claim for all mileage that is involved in a job, as you need that second person to do the job then claim for it.

Most MSC's have a limit they will pay anyway so they will have budgeted for that anyway.

If the Mystery Shopping company had arranged the additional person then I'd say yes, otherwise no (unless agreed by MS company).

Got one of them and the brief says I'm not to take it with me so I reckon it will look suspicious if I say I've not got one with me and then I'm spotted using it, I'm going to give this job a miss I think.

You could casually say whilst in the shop, 'I dont have my phone with me/its broken (depending on brief) I have my husbands/wifes with me incase I breakdown etc. That way you can pretend to check it when you come out the store but don't have to show it to sales person when in store. Thus following the brief and getting a picture!

Does it matter after you've left? That scenario screams mystery shopper anyway so I wouldn't worry.
