Your instructions might be to visit a specific store on a particular day at an appropriate time or within a pre-determined period. Almost certainly the hiring company will be testing or evaluating something which exclusively occurs at a specific time and place. It might be they want to know whether supplies run short of particular items at busy times, or if checkout operators become harassed, the store overruns with children, trolleys are in short supply, and so on.
Sometimes you will be allowed to choose your own time to shop, based on the theory that dirty toilets and unpleasant staff might be a permanent problem, not restricted to busy times only, in which case the client needs to know just how widespread such proble ms are or if conditions vary between different shifts, on different days.
Be sure to shop at the appointed time, no sooner, no later. Arrive early and go somewhere quite away from the shop and take a long last look at your instructions. A park or coffee shop is ideal.
Make sure you know what you have to do. You can’t keep on referring to your instructions during the shop, except if it’s quiet or looks like you’re reading your shopping list. A small notepad is useful, doubling as a shopping list and reminder of essential features of the shop and for recording important details. Try always to look as if you are checking things you have bought against those you still have to buy.
Note unusual requests such as information which might be required about other shops in the vicinity, whether you have to count supplies of a particular product or number of supervisors in the store at the appropriate time, if you have to record the name of the assistant who served you, and so on.
Here’s a great tip we have used on occasion to avoid your notes being spotted by staff and management in the store. Use a simple code system, such as writing one letter in the alphabet in advance of actual letters of particular names or snippets of information.
