Does anyone know of a company that does mystery shopping for airlines?

Just picked up a weekend away! Looking forward to this one immensely.

RANT ALERT!

I appreciate that most MSs mainly employ young, binty girls who insist on hoping everyone had an AMAZEBALLS weekend/Xmas/New Year etc and other such exaggerated turns of phrase, but judging from my post-xmas MS inbox, this disease seems to be spreading to the more professional/higher paying MSs.

Add this to the trend for all checkout workers/call centre operatives/customer service staff to say "myself" and "yourself" instead of "me" and "you". And the kid at my local Aldi who adds superfluous words to the end of his sentences - eg "how will you be paying TODAY?"

Can't we just say what we want to say and cut the crap and the verbiage?
Pleasantaries are fine but can we keep them down to a suitably English level please?

Yes, I am a grumpy old git. Yes, I know I am not perfect.

RANT OVER

Post exaggerated pleasantries received either by phone or email - "Yes, I can shop that for you for that increased fee. Of course. You enjoy the rest of your day too now!"

Tell me truthfully whether you've ever added superfluous words to a sentence to increase the character count :-p

Anyway, welcome to Britain as it is today...

I know it is Daily Mail...but after reading this article, I think a certain MS company should really consider changing order options instead of timing points this year. The staff know exactly what MS orders are and therefore they behave/talk accordingly. Just a thought.

Yes, when there are 5-10 questions that mean/express /​represent the same question!

Knowing how and when to call a spade an earth inverting implement can be a useful addition to one's skillset.
