    It wasn't a full wave of the MF cheapies, looked to me like some re-shops or ones dropped.

    It was a full whack round here and they were all gone within 30 minutes. Am I missing something? Should I have picked some too?

    Because she's worth it :D

    Didn't manage to find a single other visit to do whilst I was in London save a sandwich shop for RE. Shame the RA station shops weren't on. Could have made a massive killing, so many of the larger reimbursement shops in the London station I was at! Oh well.

    Generally, yes, we will mention Mystery Shopping companies, for example ESA, and those listed in the first post. However, there are a couple of companies that don't like their work being talked about and most people have the common sense and decency to repect this.

    What we don't mention is the client / target store that the mystery shopping company is working within.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    Oh well. Never mind. Better luck next time. I will be there again tomorrow but will only be stopping for an hour.

    It's so annoying when that happens. The visits will probably go online when your train pulls out. Last year I spent an entire day at one of those stations. I had breakfast, visited a few shops, got a sandwich for lunch, bought a magazine then sat in a coffee shop reading it, had more coffee, got a take away for dinner and even had enough spare coffees to give to a homeless man. I was like a train spotter without the trains!!

    Random question of the night.

    Why do the Cheap Supermarket use two different MSC's? I thought it was different regions but MF have got a load of stores on that I'm doing for IMS a week later.

    Wow. Go you. I was just eyeing up all the big reimbursement ones at the Kings Cross station. I was thinking a new shirt, a new tie, something for my niece and my Mom, loads of posh cakes and pastries, posh chocolates, beauty things and then all the sandwich shops and the restaurants which have a huge reimbursement!

    Good Lord, if they did a 10 visit wave again, you could get a whole new outfit and then some with loads of food too!
