Maximising income - Mystery Shopping? Surveys? (Part Three)

There are surely other things they could use to verify ones visit, such as taking a photo with the time/date stamp on it?

Perhaps a photo of the staff themselves - that'd be a fun (in)conspicuous photo to take!

Mine is a Drive Thru, so I might not quite get the same song and dance!

You would hope that Head Office (or whoever) would know that if a store always got a rubbish Drive Thru review and a glowing shop review something was amiss, but maybe not!!

Well, if the contract is in question then maybe HO are concerned.... Watch this space!

I was carrying out some merchandising today and I had to take a pic of the products - only problem is i take a very, very poor picture. Does it matter that they are a bit out of focus - I mean when I normally take pics outside shops its just to prove you were there (cos they're blurry too) so I figure its not so crucial - but for merchandising?

Don't forget to update your profile on OC's new profile page, they won't offer any jobs if it isn't filled in!!

I had to do that once. I was supposed to snap the the stall/display but the reps hadn't bothered to erect it so I was driven to surreptitiously snapping them half-heatedly handing out leaflets. It was in a cinema foyer and so I had to use a flash as well...

Hi all. I'm new to mystery shopping. Currently with GAP, RE and Grassroots. I did my first assignment for GAP yesterday and I have one tomorrow. Any advice on how good these companies are or any companies I should be with.

Timmne's great sticky post, on page one of this thread, is a good place to start for a list of ms companies.

So far, I'm finding grassroots great (good payers and nice assignments), gap (a lot of work available but not great payers), RE (I'm still not sure about - mix bag).

It pays to sign up to them all I think. I'm finding that some of the other companies on the list are better.

Good luck ms-ing.:D

Whoops! Just had my first assignment given to me by Assosia. And just realised that it's and hour later than I thought and I've missed the start time. I think there's a sacking coming.....
