savings account?

so i've been MIA for awhile. sorry!

i had exams and after my exams, i've been kinda busy too. been going out every single day. i'll be able to take a break tomorrow and get some jogging done hopefully! i havent jogged in over a week. i bet what little stamina i managed to build before my exams is all gone. fml

oh, and i did my first mystery shop today!
according to wikipedia, mystery shopping is:

Mystery shopping or mystery consumer is a tool used by market research companies to measure quality of retail service or gather specific information about products and services[citation needed]. Mystery shoppers posing as normal customers perform specific tasks—such as purchasing a product, asking questions, registering complaints or behaving in a certain way – and then provide detailed reports or feedback about their experiences.

my assignment was to go to a bank and enquire about their savings account. the pay was £10.

i was a little nervous, so i brought a friend along with me to notice details such as the time and the staff names. i think the mystery shop went alright, but i have a sneaking suspicion that they guessed that i was a mystery shopper. but i was as discreet as possible! dammit.

anyway, my first solo mystery shop will be tomorrow at a train station. i'll have several scenarios to act out at various places around the station and the pay will be £20. i hope it all goes smoothly!
