www.shopproperty.co.uk is very helpful (a shop for sale/lease site) - if you've been somewhere and are in this situation just register and if there are any shops for sale on the same road then it will show you on a map, with company names.... This is what I usually do if I forget to write the names down!

Thanks for the idea and answer:beer:

has any discussed medical research?

I know limited to healthy people who have some flexibility at work.

However, I make around £1k - £1.5k every 4 months.

This really helps over christmas, holidays and paying chunks off mortgage etc..

Any interest? If so I'll start posting contacts etc for those interested.

No worries, I'll sign up for it anyway .. it does say you have to order 2 toppings, but also says to ask the driver for a receipt .. I'll order a Margherita with no extra toppings and a pizza for myself as well, I'll just say on the report that the driver didn't have a receipt to give me :rotfl:

I know you didn't actually do this shop, but I did want to point out that it's really important to be accurate - this poor driver could potentially have been disciplined for failing to carry receipts!

I stress that I am mentioning this as part of the sharing that goes on between MS in the way of training, and not to get at you personally - and you didn't do it anyway. It's very important to be really accurate if you are saying even minor negative things about employees - it's their livelihood and we have a real responsibility to ensure they are treated fairly.

Sands, as it is all in the vein of maximising income I say post away! We had someone ask such a question in the phone chat thread and our answers were the same. It might not float everyone's boat but there will be people grateful for the heads up and link-up :T

Please Post away i feel many people would find that information useful, might want to start a new thread though.

I seem to recall someone on this thread saying they were an accountant and were willing to answer questions about tax issues etc, have scanned back through the thread and can't find them anymore. If you are still around and willing to answer questions could you PM me please.
Thanks

Accountant to the rescue!

PM sent.

Arghh GAP pizza query again!

Anyone know if the end time of your pizza takeaway visit has to be within the shop time or is it just the entry time?

Or if you know there was a convenience store or a furniture store for example next door, but just can't remember the name you could try yell.com. Failing that I did hear of someone on here who rang the location, saying something like they were due to pick someone up there and weren't sure quite where it was - hmm, what's near you / next door please...?

I actually rang a shop nearby and the nice young man had a run outside to have a look for me

Well, I've just done a MS for a financial company and had to apply for one of their products, the screening questions...

1) Do you have any CCJ's or are you IVA/BR? 'Oh no' I said :rolleyes:

2) Do you have any late payments or defaults in the last 12 months? 'Oh no' I said :rolleyes:

3) Are you a homeowner? 'Oh yes' I said

4) Are you over 23? 'Oh yes' I said :(:(

Wished I didn't have to lie to the first three questions and wished I could've about the 4th!! :rotfl:

It was quite an interesting one, because after I'd filled in the forms I had to 'expose' myself as a MS, the woman was gutted as she said I was her first catch today!

I am shocked and appalled at this posting. When mystery shopping it is imperative that the screening questions are answered honestly - not in a way that you think will get you the job. I am a company allocator and if you are on my books (I will be checking my records later this afternoon) you would be struck off immediately as unreliable irresponsible and untrustworthy. If you openly admit lying like this on a public forum then how can any company trust your reports as being accurate ??? We as a company would also get a black mark if the clients themselves discovered that you were so flippant as it would appear that we were condoning this completely unacceptable behaviour.
