    With ref to RE/MF health shop reveal, what is the point apart from them knowing who to look for in future?

    Hiya all,

    Does anyone know if there is any way of taking a MF assignment if all the dates are showing as unavailable? There's a job I really want that I think must have been dropped by someone tonight but all the dates are greyed out :( I've tried calling MF but they've all gone home.

    I've sent an email and will hope for the best in the morning but I just wondered if there was any trick to get around the date setting.

    Thanks

    Well I did my first ever mystery shop today, bit of a disaster; sat down to eat and realised my timer hadn't worked, then realised I'd forgotten my receipt! Think I had too much on my mind! :embarasse:doh:

    Oh well, I have another one later so I can hopefully redeem myself, onwards and upwards and all that...:D

    These things can happen - even for an experienced (sic) mystery shopper. One thing you have learned though - you wont do that again. I didn't.

    I just accepted an Abai job around an hour ago and they still haven't sent the briefing notes, usually they are instant?

    Had 5 GFK reports to submit this evening. Does anyone else find their assignments a right pain in the bum? Actually doing the assignment itself is normally fine, but it's the briefing sheets which seem to needlessly complicated everything, to the point that it's quite hard to work out exactly what you're meant to do and it's quite easy to miss something important and get caught out!

    At least it's not as bad as me doing a weekend visit on a weekday. Looks like I'll be getting the boot from Bare! :(:(:(

    Here's all you need to know about the work Assosia do

    http://www.assosia.com/


    Perhaps they think their website exists on some covert part of the world wide web. :rotfl:


    Anyway, they don't have a job board, they email out assignments.

    That pretty much happened to me on my first burger job, except worse. I got a receipt and managed to lose it in the time it took from counter to seat. Went up and got duplicate and blow me lost that one as well. So yep, went up and got another one. I think by that time they might have sussed I was a mystery shopper. Thankfully it was not somewhere nearby and I have not had to show my sorry face there since:D
