Can anyone recommend a MS company that does retail assignments?

I've been with MF for a month (as a johnnyG said it's dried up) but they mainly have gambling and restaurants. I would like a company that does clothing/groceries/anything retail really. Which companies would you recommend?

Thanks

TNS Sassie have lots of supermarket jobs, give them a try.

Those TERN eye test and contact lens assignments were spot on. Sadly I was too young to apply (never thought I'd hear that again) was gutted as there were literally dozens around here.

The list doesn't say what kind of jobs each company offers. I dont want to know specific clients companies. I just want to know which mystery shopping company specialises/offers retail instead of gambling.

I've also joined GfK and Gapbusters but they dont either. I dont want to end up joining every one on the list so I wanted to narrow it down based on people's experience of the kind of jobs they get.

Why not have a look through the alerts thread and see whats been alerted in the past?

most companies list the type of clients if not THE clients on their home pages.
What you wanted, was to be spoon fed the answers, I tried to help you to find the details you needed your self. its kinder in the long run and they way i learnt

You should always sign up to as many MSC as possible as clients change so one day a MSC might not have a supermarket client and the next day they do.

I don't bother with GFK anymore. I did a phone call for them recently where the pay was pants but the report went on and on and on and on and on. I won't be doing any of those again!

It is a shame because I loved doing GFK visits. And now that they don't have the phone shops, no more booty calls for the lovely Meena! Boohoo.

Ah, Meena was your special lady

It's a shame they used to be one of the good guys. Now they have put the fees down on the bank jobs and wanting more info and offering other low paying assignments like that phone call one (thankfuly didn't bother applying) and the two wheeled one. I've just picked up a few of their ex GAP stamp jobs which again is a alightly lower fee but they are easy and quick.

Miss Meena was my special girl, as was Jenny off of GFK. Shannon from TNS is also a very special lady as is Jo from RA. How bad am I listing all the lovely ladies that give out big juicy premiums. Hahahaha.

I rarely see anything on GFK these days save the two wheeled ones which are 100+ miles away from me (do they really think anyone would be mad enough to travel that distance for that pittance?) and the broadband checks.

Auditing seems to be the way forward. The number of jobs available on UKIMS is immense. There was 99 the other day! Try signing up to them if folk are short of work. Their cheap supermarket mysterious shop is almost triple (when you claim full mileage) of the fee/reimbursement on RE !

Can anyone give me more info on the building society visits that have a great fee and involve covert audio recording? Do I need to have a mortgage already or just pretend that I do? There is precious little info on the website and I don't want to click accept if I can't do it! Thanks

I signed up to IMS, but apparently they are full in my area- shame!
