    Does anyone have a phone number for MF? Are they open at the weekend? The report I was completing has disappeared! High reimbursement as well!!!

    Front page of their site, click contact us.
    MF do remove jobs if you don't submit them on time, there is no leeway.

    No, but I keep getting one asking if I'd like some money off my shopping. Again, even if I've visiting the said shop, I wouldn't do the mystery shop because the fee's just not worth it.

    I'm not a fan of those emails either. I'm just waiting for the fees to drop and then the woman sending her "fancy 50p off your weekly shop" emails! As if love.

    Having said that, I do quite like some of the big reimbursement MF/RE shops. I got my Mom a very posh pair of slippers for less than £10. The report was ever so simple, just tick boxes. One happy Mom. One happy Mimi. :j:j

    I've had to send DS emails to my junk box as they keep sending out shed loads of emails for the few shops they do. I'm sad the phone shop went kerplunk! Boohoo.

    I'm surprised at DS as I do loads for them (60 plus jobs this month) and I don't receive that many emails. Mind, this is for video.

    If doing a Gyp burger, never select the "I was given a receipt without asking" because you will be deselected for being an obvious mystery shopper

    Nonsense. I did a drive through and listened to the interactions 3 in front were all asked if they wanted a receipt... So following your logic, they had all been identified as a MS? Also there are times I'm not asked and the receipt is wrapped round the top of the bag anyway.. Even in joints I've never been to before.

    You should complete the report to truthfully reflect what took place, if you were offered a receipt without asking then that's the box you tick surely?


    It makes no odds anyway, most of the burger places I go to ask if I want a receipt and I've been on their books for a few years.
  • In any case - how did the OP come to this conclusion?
    Has he recently been struck off by Gyp? Did he tick that box and has decided that was the reason? There's no way of knowing is there?

    Anyway, the way those jobs don't dash off round my area and my willingness to do month end jobs for them when they call and ask - they'd be making life harder for themselves if they ditched me. I'm not too worried. Even if I do get ditched, its several thousand calories fewer a month - might be a good thing! ;)

    I really don't think you should be advising people to lie on their reports. I you were offered a receipt, say you were offered a receipt. I've been doing burgers for about 5 years now, and ck that box if appropriate.

    If they made it £ and not $ they might.
    Note the slight scenario relaxations too.
