I'm about to head off to shop two sites massively affected by the tube strike and into a howling gale.

I may be some time.

Good luck

Hi all,

I'm new here and did my first mystery shop.

I did a shop for MF at a certain cafe (H & H) inside a big well know supermarket. MF wanted a photo of the receipt which I sent to them but now they're saying they want an itemised receipt and I didn't receive one of those. I took the receipt they gave me and put it straight into my purse for safe keeping.

Has anyone else done this mystery shop before and did you receive an itemised bill because now it looks like I may not get paid and I really could do with that money

I unwittingly applied for a permanent job with gfk, Now it's growing on me and I'm going to go for it.

Did you pay by credit/debit card and get that as the receipt? Some jobs won't accept these and you have to get the VAT receipt. I have not seen the brief - so don't what they have specified. I normally pay cash on this sort of job and that is common one to fall over on if you use the card as they tend to only give you the card receipt instead of the itemised bill.

Yes, I used my debit card.

I didn't realise that would happen and there was no mention of this in the brief, it just said take a photo of the receipt.

I've done a similar job overseas. Was great fun and paid well. Was promoted to supervisor after a month.

I have just seen this info on RA if someone is interested. I have never done any audits for them myself so no idea what they are like.

That brief, however, does include a photo of the required receipt though which shows an itemised purchase, I'm afraid credit/debit card receipts are not acceptable - MF may let you revisit.
