    If its their new fruity client then i done a trial one for them 2 months ago and the questionnaire was really simple. Not seen any appear on the main job page tho
    Yes I did the thunder and lightning shop, seemed like it was a lot more complicated and faffy than it actually was once I got there. Pretty straightforward questionnaire too. Mine was a special request email- not a main job

    can anyone recommend a printer that is cheap to run? have an Epson inkjet but the compatible cheap cartridges are only lasting around 2 weeks so getting fed up, thinking of buying a laser printer, print around 50 pages per week (black text only)

    I use a laser printer for black and white, there are several on Amazon under £100, go HP and ignore any others and you'll not go wrong.

    You can pick up a decent second had one on eBay for not much money too, a good solid HP Laserjet P3005 for under £100 is a steal.

    mmm

    so i do a gap pizza, they are late and get pizza wrong

    now i get a "Sorry we got it wrong" leaflet through the post today - "heres a £5 discount of a £9 spend to use by this Saturday..."

    not gonna be able to do those pizza shops again then i think...
    nor am i going to use the voucher either
    feels a bit odd that they know the address too and may keep on file, not sure how i feel about that...

    My local pizza shack know me and know I am their mystery shopper. Every receipt I receive from them has "Poss CHAMPS check" printed on it (CHAMPS being the name of the reporting system the company prior to Gap used).

    The phone operator usually tells me they are really busy and they cant deliver for about an hour, then the manager turns up in his car 20 mins later!!!

    Haha, got to love the subtle aproach of these companies.

    My local burger place know me and particularly my car so last time I was up on a non MS drive thru the girl who handed me my grub said as I was driving off I heard her say to her colleague, ooh that's our lovely customer services lady :rotfl:

    They always get good reports from me as the franchise that runs that one and the other branch in my town are very well managed.

    I did the GFK bank with the stupid "Woooo, I'm the mystery shopper" question. The member of staff went from ignorant ***** to super nice even offering me a drink and running out from behind the counter to open the door for me.

    I think I am going to go back in tomorrow and do the same thing. I am bad! :D:D:D
