The mystery shopping thread - part 4

Timmne

Yeah my view is that the money's good but I certainly don't rely on it (as I know it's sporadic and unreliable!) and therefore anything I do earn, helps a little towards the savings pot.

I know that at some point, MSing really won't be worth doing and I suspect more companies will be using the feedback form system in store to avoid paying so much for MSers to visit.

It sounds like doom and gloom but it really isn't; it's been like this for ages and as long as you stick to your guns and only work the jobs you want to do, the companies will at some point have a shortage of shoppers and need to increase the benefit of doing those shops...

I currently MS for GB.

I have got an application form for TNS but was wondering if it was worthwhile applying for this.

TNS are prob my favourite, having said that, I’ve only been MSing for about 2 months now. Like someone else said, the pay isn’t great, but they have the kinda places that I enjoy (coffee, pizza, pub – is this saying too much about my lifestyle LOL).

How do you know?

Either way a timely warning to all.

How do I know what?

I have to say some of your posts are making me think twice about who just can be trusted on this site.

It's not a witchunt, I'm suspicious that's all.

Your quotes

I wasn't a member of staff I dont think, I am lead to believe it was an associate

How do you know it was an associate?

BTW:

I hope I'm not sure what you mean by this....


I am trying to put across to others that you could have been "Shopped" by MS Co's reps and not necessarily another "normal" mystery customer.

Either way it is a warning to others to not put too much detail in their posts.

I'm no longer a probationer for RE so going to keep looking for work that scomes up now. I've noticed that they use a points system. Can anyone tell me how it works?
