    Have I missed something? What have my fave company done?

    Added one extra question to the scenario, just about the rare South American currency at the moment. No biggie, if you missed the email you don't get marked down for it.

    Does anyone who does video mystery shopping have an easy ways of remembering addresses, postcodes and telephone numbers - I always struggle and wondered if anyone had any ideas.

    It will be the client mate, all the news about them running out.
    Mind not too many in Scotland making the visit to cheer on England :-)


    The point is an assignment was been offered and accepted on the scenario given. It is the principal of the matter and treating their contractors honestly.


    For them to casually email people after work has been accepted and expect anyone who has not already completed the assignment to do extra work for no extra money is no more acceptable than me accepting an assignment and then emailing them to say oh by the way, I'm only going to do the assignment for £X extra. They would tell me to get lost. They didn't even have the courtesy to apologise for their unprofessional behaviour.


    People who support dishonest MSC are a big part of the problem and the reason why mystery shoppers are treated like worthless mugs by so many of them. They deserve reporting to the MSPA.

    When I said I liked fast food I didn't really expect that to mean 5 times in 48 hours!

    OMG 20 TNS phone shops down, if knackered. Shame the phone brand in question doesn't rate highly.

    Agreed, the brain's like a muscle, you exercise it, it gets bigger.

    There's three sorts of learners, visual (see it), auditory style (hear it, get told it), tactile (do it).

    If you're not sure how it is for you, there's various psychometric tests you can do, including a lot of free online ones.

    I'm very much the third, and I find if I'm told something, I forget it, if I read something I forget it. Personally, I find the best way for me to make stuff stay in my memory is to say it out loud, or write it out, or if an address isn't too far out of my way, to go there.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    I jot the details on a sticky label and stick this to the underside of my keyfob - hope this helps!
