    :eek: Did anyone see Rogue Restaurants on tv this evening? Ewww! I shall be checking 'Scores On the Doors' before i accept a Spirit Group assignment in future!

    I check establishments' scoresonthedoors council hygiene ratings before I shop them, now. Does anyone ever include this info in the report if it states they are 'Bad'?

    Just a quick question, trying to make the most of every assignement with companies that only reimburse what you spend.
    Eg. Reimbursement is £8 to buy X food and Y drink
    X and Y only comes to £5, so can I buy another item to make the total come to £8 even though the assignment does not require it.
    Tks.x

    I usually order a side order, especially if it is in the questionnaire as to if you are upsold a side order.
    My way of looking at it is, if the total comes to £8.50, then I have basically had a meal and drink for 50p.

    No, how can you ?

    Surely your report has to be based on your own visit on the day in question ??
    If you turn up and the location has been closed for hygene reasons, then you report it.
    If you see a review on another website, you can't take that into consideration at all.
    If you don't like the look / sound of an establishment, don't take the assignment...

  • I've just been paid by Bare if that's of interest to anybody. My first payment with them was over a month late, though, but this one is on time...

    Good point. If it says 'Bad' I can't see myself going in the first place...
