Mystery Shopping Thread 25 *PLEASE READ THE OP FIRST**PLEASE NO CLIENT NAMES OR FEES

secondhand

Are the ESA chiller jobs worth doing? Can see a few on offer in a town 10 miles away for premium fees. So sounds tempting though it looks like an awful lot of recording, measuring and inputting. Is it so much hassle or reasonably quick and straightforward?

Proofreading query in from MS-lost-the-will-to-live.com:

You are not alone. I have had several brain dead queries recently which initially raised my hackles.

Then I remembered, it's the holiday season, and the second fiddle proof readers are let loose, and are trying to prove their worth.

The usual crew will be back come September.

....on another note. Is anyone else heartily irritated by the strap lines on emails from the 'extremely confidential' 'strictly confidential' 'do not discuss on forums' company?

They are not being discussed here!

Took me 40 minutes for 3 chillers in a well known coffee shop. Very straightforward though and all entered live in the app so no reports to write up afterwards.

Thanks. Just done them. My heart sank when I saw 3 huge chillers in the shop but 2 were full of single category items. The main one took a bit longer but not too long - the measuring wasn't as fiddly as I'd expected as, of course, the width of a row of cans of coke is the same as a row cans of pepsi!

Was my first "overt" visit - quite easy when you can refer to your notes rather than having to remember everything!

Glad you found it easy, my first one had 5 chillers and had to scan everything in there - plus, the owner was not happy about me measuring either.

most if not all of your questions will be answered.
You might need to ensure you meet requirements for written language skills however. Accuracy is quite an necessary one.

not really, given the amount of times they and their particular briefs are discussed here and elsewhere, despite less prominent reminders not to. Confidentiality is a requirement of this job and some companies value that more than others, which is fair enough in my opinion.

Exactly, we get paid to do it, not talk about it.
