    The only time I go for the cheap shops is because I buy things from there. If they expect me to be there for 30 mins, all I do is to lie of the time of entering the store as the receipt tells them the time of exit...

    There is another supermarket one which I am doing this morning and the pay is much better. Though I am only need to spend a few quid, I normally spend that plus at least half the fee...

    Went and did the better paid supermarket just now. As its warm and sunny, all but 1 colleague I could not see their name badge. Either it was concealed under their unzipped fleece or left the uniform which has their name badge in the locker room.

    The manager will make swift changes after the report has reached them! I may see colleagues with two badges on..........

    I don't think the clients or msc actually check the times on cctv. I have seen shops cctv images wher the times are 8 mins out.

    I don't think that's the point that Whitelabel was trying to make though.

    I'll be honest, some of the scenarios might be annoying, and the timings might seem overly long, but if it says I need to be in a shop for xx minutes, and ask such & such a question, then I do it.

    At the end of the day, it's my choice to accept the assignment so I do as they ask and always to the best of my ability
