I have read on another site that the stamp shops are for over 55's

Not sure - there's only 3 showing for me. If you look in Sheffield does it come up - there's one showing there for me? My score is only about 20 or something as only done a few jobs for them.

still nothing when i search for sheffield. Maybe if it is 55 im just too young, only another 30 years to go!! Its the same with burger shops on RE. i see the alerts but never showing for me. Maybe its like the betting shops and only certain people can access them

It's silly really as I like doing the stamp shops. I have had a look and I can't see any either.

I can confirm that the stamp shops are over 55's only, bit strange I can see them as I'm only 18...

I'm way under 55 and can see a couple of the stamp shops.

The scenario of the branch I'll be close to tomorrow is inacceptable for me though.

maybe they could be in certain areas then. In saying that I can only see one chemist so I think that I could of missed lots of them.

I'm never sure really, but I generally just go for it - they usually wish they'd never asked when I'm done typing I'm sure!

I've been reading some of the comments on this thread about how sometimes MSers get a raw deal from the agencies. I was supposed to be doing DIY stores putting up POS's tomorrow , however the POS's hadn't been delivered and the jobs got cancelled . I got an e-mail from the agency 2 days ago saying that they would pay me 50% of the fee for the inconvenience, and I could either do the jobs next week or release them without my score being affected. Which I think is pretty good of them.

Just thought I'd say (not meant to sound patronising BTW!) that it's great to see some newbies to this thread - including people who are already mystery shoppers! Good to expand the knowledge base

You don't sound patronising at all Timmne. I only stumbled across this site recently doing a google search on MS.

It has been a godsend...thank you to everyone who has helped and supported others. I think we have a great little community here.

The MS companies have an organisation pity we didn't have one to let them see life from our side. Until I found this site it was a very lonely existence as I know no one who is a MS'er. Any friends I do tell give me strange looks.

I had a funny experience doing a pizza delivery the other night. You have to photograph it from above. As I was perched over the coffee table looking through the viewfinder the pizza started moving slowly leftwards. I quickly put the camera down thinking "Crikey is there an earthquake" to see one of my dogs with the end in her mouth. Luckily they are well trained so I yelled LEAVE!! You can see a faint bite mark on it but it passed when I submitted it.:D
