For those of you paying attention in the past week’s shop log I mentioned a shop in a mall scheduled for the day after Xmas that I took because I’m still trying to improve my shopper rating after missing an assignment. If not, well, now you’re up to speed too.

So I left reasonably early to the mall to make sure to get the shop all done and tucked away before having to report in for night shift. If I thought that the traffic heading towards the mall was bad the traffic trying to leave was even worse. Needless to say a shop that should have taken 1-hour max door to door ended up taking 3 due to the traffic/parking/crowds.

I get back home safe and sound, if a little cranky, and what do you think the first thing I do is? Why yes, apart from hitting the bathroom - ha ha ha. I head up to get my report all finished before going to the day job. The first thing I notice is the daypart for the shop. I have just spent three hours in mall traffic completing a shop that wasn’t supposed to be done until after 5PM! Eff. I am starting to think that any job I take for this company is cursed.

Hmm? Oh yes, I immediately sent off a panicked email to the scheduler owning up to my mistake. I stated that I had confidence in my ability to remain anonymous if they would like me to re-do the shop the next day. Lucky me, they have confidence in me too despite the little boo-boo so I get to go to the mall again.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m pleased to have the opportunity to make up for my error, but on the other hand, yuck, back to the mall.

It just goes to show you even experienced shoppers make mistakes.
