At Answers Investigations we offer mystery shopping in the UK as one of our many services. This service is useful for testing pubs and off licenses to ensure they do not serve under age people and run the risk of being punished with on the spot fines or losing their license.
Serving people who are under age is a very common problem in the United Kingdom. This can cause the retailer or landlord to have to face the embarrasment of being prosecuted in a local court and having their name printed in a local paper this can be a disaster in terms of public relations. Our mystery shopping in the UK team will appear as under age purchasers and attempt to buy cigarettes and alcohol. All the attempts to purchase these products are recorded by a covert camera and then we prepare a full report which we then discuss with the client.
The most common job for our mystery shopping UK team is to test our under age purchasers in all the off licenses or pubs that the client owns in the areas. We will then evaluate each different member of staff and after gaining permission from our client we will secretly record all transactions. You will then be able to use this information to train present and future staff. You will be shocked at some of the results we get. We have girls dressed in school uniforms who are very convincing and more often than not get served with alcohol or tobacco in their uniform and the seller does not ask for any identification.
Our mystery shopping UK programme is run from our Guildford office, who may be contacted by email or by telephone on 01483 423900. We are always pleased to visit clients with a view to discussing a programme for your company's benefit. Mystery Shopping staff are all trained, and no laws are broken when exercises are carried out. Similarly, every precaution is taken to provide protection for our shoppers, especially considering the environments in which they are sometimes required to work.
