    Well, my reveal shop went ok, as I entered the security asked me if I was OK and was quite insistent to know what I was doing so I had to reveal myself at the start which was a huge relief!!! All the staff were so lovely (not that they would be horrible to me knowing I was doing MS I guess LOL)
    Anyway I feel alot more confident to more similar jobs now so I am so glad I did it!!

    That seems a bit odd having to reveal yourself at the beginning of the job. The staff are bound to be sickly nice to you to get a good report. I wouldn't fancy doing those to be honest.

    Further update on GFK travel jobs - anyone still missing money will get it paid in the July 25th pay run.
    Here I go again on my own....

    It was more like an audit really and then ask staff a few questions to find out if they know their stuff I guess! I think the security guy thought I was like a spy tho, he was very intrigued and excited :rotfl:

    I find it actually make a pleasant change doing these jobs. I feel much more relaxed than when 'undercover' and I can refer to the guidelines to make sure I don't miss anything.

    I find it a pleasant change too, I wish they came around more often.

    Possible breach of confidentiality is not the only reason for not posting too much on here! There are MS shoppers out there who seem to take delight in 'shopping' others to companies they work for.

    I think I would always be wary of people that keep asking for info on jobs yopu have done and keep sending PMs asking the same questions, even when it has been made clear to them that you won't answer them!
    You have reminded me, in the past someone PMed me asking for a PDF of one of the jobs, and he (gave me his name) was not a regular poster! I thought Whhhat?
    You are right there
