The mystery shopping thread - part 4

bobthego

When asking for wine, how do you ask for wine and be vague? I usually say something like 'a glass of white wine', and then they ask which one, so I end up saying what I want, but I'd like to leave it more open to them, any ideas anyone?
TIA

You could ask them what's selling well at the moment? Which one would they choose?

Yeah, I don't know of any new ones on TNS - do you know something we don't, or been given some new ones? The only ones I can see have been around a while. A certain chain of pubs and a pizza place and the usual airport crop - otherwise me too ...

I didn't think there was any truth to what some say about being able to view jobs on boards that others can't but now starting to think maybe there is some truth to it. Maybe this is the reason that I have never had a hotel job through TNS :rolleyes:

Can anyone who's done / doing a Frontline Focus credit card job please PM me with how much they pay - I've been rung to be asked to do one, but don't want to bother ringing back til I see how much it's worth. I don't tend to do jobs where you don't buy something as don't think they're worth it - I want the free stuff as well as / or at least instead of the fee, otherwise can't be a*sed!

Thought it was just me with very few shops. I can't believe that just over a month ago, I was on like 10 to 15 a week, and now it's down to like 1 a week if I'm lucky!

So you're saying you can see other restaurants than these ones? Do you want to PM me out of interest please? Don't worry, I can't nick them, if I can't see them!

I've been offered hotel jobs twice by email - both times really nice 4* ones with pool, jacuzzi etc., with TNS, but despite being fairly prompt to email back, I missed out both times. They've never been put on the jobs board tho - it was email only.

For the love of god - I go out for one evening and thought "'ll just log on now to see if anythings happened tonight" and I've got 3 pages to read through!! Seriously people give me time to catch up....:rotfl:

From what I've read so far though I'd love to know about the phones. I've got a bog standard Nokia but I'm finding I'm writing on pieces of paper in my handbag whilst I'm out. I take it if I had an I-phone I wouldn't have this problem. And I'm off to check up on the Nokia N96 as well now. Baby doesn't need new clothes, mummy needs a new phone!!!

Anyone else had an e-mail from BARE to say about their jobs. I've requested one but bets are on I'll get it three days before it's due!!
