GFK car shops, I've only glanced at the brief, but am I alone in thinking "I'm not letting those monkeys touch my car"?

Depends on what the scenario is for your local one. Headlights...maybe not. Rear light...yeah why not that's pretty easy. Side light...don't think so but depends on car. Wiper blades ...no problem but they are the store brand ones not the better ones which you have to refuse and most probably already have on your car. I won't be taking the job.

We had a pool car at my last job and we used them several times to change bulbs. They were pretty good at it.

I'm new to this and so far I am finding myself excluded from most of the jobs I've seen in my area. My car is too new for that scenario to work, for instance.

Sometimes you just don't meet the criteria but stick at it and, eventually, more jobs will come your way

Just wanted some advice/opinions, I'm registered partially sighted and when doing visits, it's highly unlikely i'll be able to read name badges, see eye colour etc. On the couple of shops that i've done, i've given descriptions or names off receipts and this has been fine but i'm wondering if you think I might get marked down sometimes for not getting names?

As with any normal employer they have to make allowances and if you can't read the name badges from a distance then don't worry about it. You could ask the sales assistant for their name as long as it doesn't give you away. As for eye colour I never get it exactly right and just guess between either blue and brown.

An informal letter to MF, not that it will make an ounce of difference!

Dear XXX,

This assignment will go ahead, as booked.

Frankly, I am getting sick of all these emails from MarrketForce relating to assignments. I would not have booked the assignment if I did not intend to complete it and it is an absolute pain the backside to keep having to phone and email, to confirm something that I have already booked and confirmed on your website!

You might want to pass this feedback on to whoever made the decision to send out these reminders. You are going to lose all your good shoppers because of the implications you are making. Why didn't you just take a decision to remove unreliable shoppers from your system entirely, rather than continually insult the rest of us?

Yours Sincerely,
XXX

Can you elaborate on how this made you feel?

Can you confirm where you were when this was written?

Thank you

Does anyone know how long your excluded from MF jobs that you have mystery shopped previously?

There is a assignment that regularly comes up in my area and I only get visibility after its being lingering and their desperate.
