Maximising income - Mystery Shopping? Surveys?

  • I juggle my normal job with mystery shopping, being on flexi time I either take long lunches or leave the office early. It can be hard though when at the end of a normal working day I just want to flop on the settee and not write a report BUT I want to get into a customer service role and by visiting companies and seeing how good or badly they perform can only help in my future career aspirations.

    Well, an update on my restaurant MS. Had a look at their website (yes, they have one!) and it's really posh! :shocked: There's no way that the stuff they're asking us to order will get covered by the amount they'll be reimbursing (seriously, it's like the price of one course there! :eek:)

    Have emailed them for an explanation... Really want to do this one now as it sounds really nice! (Maybe they'll give me a spending limit of a few hundred... :rotfl: )

    Retail Eyes do a lot of pubs I think, and Gap do fast-food places. :)
