    Please no talking of fees on here, the regulars will rant.

    I dont think its about regulars 'ranting', its rules that are set to protect the already paltry fees. Just saying '4x fee etc is normally enough.

    I don't want newbies to think that some of us 'regulars' have a go at people for no reason... We are a lovely bunch and nobody wants anyone's cat to be eaten.

    The taste was satisfactory, unfortunately it was only warm. I did raise this with the member of staff, this was replaced promptly.

    Well MF have really' scraped the barrel' for their pharmacy visits in terms of fees. With the possibility of having to do revisit later that day as the target person is not there - think I give that a wide berth, thanks....

    I have been mystery shopping for years but have only just signed up to GFK.

    I have picked up calls for three different clients and printed off the briefings. GFK require you to take tests based on the briefings before you can proceed. One of these was straightforward but the other two I I am having problems with. I have wasted a considerable amount of time on these, checking and rechecking, trying different combinations where answers might be ambiguous.

    Does anyone else have problems with these? Is there something I'm missing?

    I think pretty much all of us have been in this situation at some stage. If you really have tried all possibilities, copy paste your answers in an email to the allocator they normally tell you where your going wrong.

    Me too. I thought the cheap supermarket fees were bad but that is just taking the mick!

    The ones in my area have gone though. Crazy.

    Just go away from your computer, have a drink or two and try again :). I had the same problem with a stamp visit. It had taken more time to do the test than completing the visit !
