I had such a crappy day mystery shopping the other day, that I just have to share it!

I had just done a health club, and went to sit in a park to fill out the questionnaire. All of a sudden, something brown and gooey drops down from a tree all over the questionnaire and myself! The questionnaire obviously had to be disposed of, and I had to get to the nearest public toilet to try to clean myself up before my next assignment (fortunately not a bank ). Because of this I was delayed, and ended up getting caught in a massive downpour of rain. Since I was not carrying an umbrella, I had to stand under an awning for 15 minutes to wait for it to ease up a little. Then I of course had to take a photo of my next shop, and had to get the camera out in the rain!

Well I guess it could have been worse, could have forgotten to ask for a receipt etc and not being paid for the jobs!

Oh gosh poor you. Not a lot of fun...a pigeon with diarrhoea. Sorry but you made me laugh as we have all been there. Last time I had to take a shop photo( RE perchance) II had to wait ages as buses and lorries kept rushing past me.

I always feel so silly walking out of a mystery shop to immediately stop and take a photo of the store! I guess it's OK in central London though, I always try to look like a tourist and snap a couple of extra around me just in case!
