    I've got one where I have to 'do' a particular person in quite a large store.

    :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Sorry I can't help but I was a little shocked to see you've been asked to 'do' someone - I hope you're being paid double figures for this dirty deed! :D

    Sorry - just my male humour.
  • Thanks for all the GAP burger answers! I have only been with them a few weeks so will wait a bit longer!

    As for your MS Redcar that sounds like a real tricky one! Got no tips except take someone else with you and send them in ahead to spy on name badges and hope that they are wearing theirs that day LOL sorry!

    Good luck

    Just wanted to say a quick hello from a newbie.

    I've been MSing for a couple of months with GAP and have done a fair few fast food jobs, phone shops and post offices - must say i'm quite enjoying being sneaky! I've also registered with Retail eyes but there's hardly been anything in my area.

    Anyhoo, looking forward to joining in now I've found you!

    I think that it depends where you go. I have done a couple of these chicken shops and ordered the same meal and in the two places that I have visited their prices vary. I also think it depends on where you live as well.

    Yes, I think you're right, especially service stations, which are more expensive too. Just googled it and nothing comes up on the chicken site either.

    Please try and not get... wait for it... "a little stressed"!! ;) We're all fairly helpful and friendly on here :A
  • Welcome Rogue, I hope you have lots of 'how to be sneaky' tips for us!
    I'm getting older, and lifes getting harder!:mad:
  • Thanks!

    I'm so sad at the moment i've even asked my hubby for a stop watch for Christmas - the other day when i had the timer going on my mobile it rang and wiped the stop watch off - ggrrrr. It wasn't even an important call - just my mum in law asking me to fetch some batteries!!
  • You are officially sad enough to be part of the gang! :D

    Good idea for when people ask me what I want too!

    Can one of your gorgeous people tell me when Retail-Maxim pay? I've done about 6 in the last few weeks, and not had a penny through. Oh and I called GR to tell them I no longer want to shop with them because of the new online system and how it sucks, and the lady on the phone was like FACE BOTHERED! I guess they have got lots of other shoppers that like this system, anyway stuff to them. I shall go take my mystery shopping expertise elsewhere.

    I doubt any shoppers will like the new system until loads stop using it and there's even a tiny chance that people will be in time to get the jobs. I don't bother logging on to GR anymore as I can't be bothered to be the desperate vulture-esque mystery shopper preying on jobs!
