Well I did my gapburger and it went surprisingly OK. Had to go and sit down and wait for my fries and burger for a few minutes so not sure what they'll say about that but apart from that it was clean, tidy and food was hot and OK. Nice change!

Going out to very nice restaurant tonight for my anniversary so will make nice change from eating burgers and pizza - not done chicken yet!!!

Glad gapburger wasn't so bad. Enjoy your anniversary treat - I remember going out for an anniversary meal last year with huge bump and could hardly eat any of the lovely food! Still I'm off out tonight to with DH - just getting girls their tea, babysitter booked and not an ms job either - will be nice not to be checking name badges, toilets, posters etc

Thanks - how true is that - I find I can't go into a shop without automatically looking at the name badge!!

Hi all, my first time on this thread. I have my first mystery shop this weekend, any advice?

For the first one - read the notes thoroughly more than once, and make a crib sheet or some notes of the key points you need to say and the key bits you need to look out for. Remember and clock the name badge, left and right of store and/or take pic (whatever the assignment calls for). It will be nerve-racking, but once you've done it you will realise they are not as bad as you thought and will begin to enjoy it! The first is always the worst

And Good Luck!:D

Yipee - at last - got my first job for RE - underground sandwich and it's local and I have to go there tomorrow anyway. Hopefully I'll be able to do a few more afterwards. Happy days x

Definately nerve-racking! I am nervous but looking forward to it. Thanks for your advice

Remember to get a receipt!
My first MS job was the sandwich shop, I took hubbie with me to remember stuff like state of floor etc and forgot the receipt, sent DD in to buy another sandwich & get a receipt and it was different server - ended up buying 3 sandwiches just to get a receipt from the girl who served me!!

Does anyone have a "car" shop to do for BAI?

I got an email this evening saying that I have been given the shop to complete for TUESDAY. I'm not here over the weekend which leaves me two days to complete all the shops (6 in completely different places) and the reports.

I applied for it ages ago. That's so rude! :mad:

I've got a printer problem, I'm not at work over weekend and i have some extra printing to do that has just been emailed through.

The ink on my home printer is low and i dont have cash until end of next week to print them out, my girlfriend is looking at cyber cafes and I'm looking at the library.

Which is cheaper for printer costs?
