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

Sarah_Joanne

I tend to find TNS questionnaires not too bad on the whole, alhtough I admit it'd be nice to get more fee than the poor mileage allowance.

One thing that annoys me a little though is for the pub food ones there is nowhere you can enter comments about the food! Surely that is a big part of the customer experience? I did on elast week where to be honest I was expecting a great meal from the look of the pub when I went in but it was awful! The chicken was so dry i couldn't cut it with the knife and I had to leave it. I would never go back there becasue of this but it wasn't even mentioned in the report!

hi, newbie to this MS lark

I am based in Cornwall so not exactly the centre of the universe where MS is concerned so i have to really work at it to find the jobs i think.

Hello! I'm from Cornwall but now living in Devon and I see quite a few jobs available there but they are spread out and as you know the roads aren't always that quick so maybe not worth travelling to...

If you eat mackie ds you'll never go hungry again, fairly sure of that...defo sign up with as many companies as possible. I think there are some IOS jobs with kern at moment, you may be able to negotiate a fee for the ferry/chopper but they're paying well at the moment anyway. Good luck!:D

Yeah, I did one of these too. The food was spot on and it felt ridiculous that you couldn't comment on it and they wanted to know all about splashes on the bathroom floors

I've done a few now and it's not too bad when the food is nice - cos they do't need to do anything differently - but if the food is so bad you can't even eat it then you think they'd want to know so they could do something!

Like I said I would never go back to that place purely because of the food. So they've been MS'ed - the MSer had a really bad experience - any time she's asked by anyone about where to eat she'd recommend them NOT to go there and would never go back herself - yet they've had a report from that cisit that said "everything" was fine.

It's kind of defeating the point of going isn't is?!

:mad: I just had an email from bare telling me they have assigned me a job for PPI insurance which invloves a full credit check. I've never said I wanted to do it! I saw it in the list of jobs but then saw what it involved and didnt request to do it. :mad:
I've emailed them straight back telling them I wont be doing it.

Rant over!

still at least I dont feel as bad about having to cancel a job with them Im meant to do tomorrow. :rolleyes:

If you've accepted the job you need to go to my assisgnments page, then click 'continue' to the right of that assignment and if you haven't already chosen the date you can do it there.
