no, you should be ok - that's perfectly reasonable to complain about it and you're usually told to behave like a normal shopper, so a normal shopper would complain.

i wouldn't worry about it.

It depends how you complained about it. Although you're supposed to act like a normal customer, you're also supposed to act accordingly (which a surprisingly large number of customers don't). I would imagine as you were working you would have acted as such. I don't see it as any different to asking for something they've forgotten to give you. Effectively it gives them the opportunity to earn back some of the points they've lost.

So long as the complaint wasn't about the Gespatcho soup being cold you're ok.

Anyone done any assignment with Assosia, I'm signed up with them for an audit, and have had the details through but I'm not sure if there's a specific reporting process ie does it go back to the email of the person contacting you?

Hi, Most of their reports are done through the imputing form they send with your assignment details.
Its in excel format.
Juts type in the figures and send them back via email attachment even the pictures too.Hope that helps.

When I first looked at the brief and report, I thought it looked a lot to remember - but I think it's the same with most of the reports! When you actually come to do them they're not so bad, & the more you do the easier it gets.

Some of the questions didn't apply to my domestic flight - obviously an International flight involves more with meals being served etc. and if you are travelling business class, that's more questions but again they didn't apply.


As you say, it's easy to jot things down in a newspaper or magazine, and people are none the wiser as to what you're doing!

If you get the chance go for it!

Can you imaging, forgetting to look left and right and have to do it all again opps! :beer:

I did forget one of the things I should have noticed as I checked in - but as the flight arrangements changed FOUR times within thirty minutes of me arriving at the airport, I was that busy thinking to myself "is this flight going ahead or not", and waiting for info from the staff, that I just completely forgot!
One minute I was told the plane had technical problems, then that we were going to Leeds/Bradford and bussed to Mancheser, then we were having the Leeds plane but going to Manchester but the flight would be delayed, and finally that it was back on schedule so to go to the departure gate like NOW!
I just put that on my report and explained why I missed that particular thing out, and got a 9 instead of my usual 10, which is fair enough!

I asked earlier what people thought REs attitude to me complaining about raw food when on an ms job and no-one's responded. Am I in for a bo**ocking or what?

Hi Sinders, I did write a reply but obviously didnt post it I would of thought that would be fine, I have never had a problem with RE and if they have a query they usually ring you and I have found them to be reasonable. I don't think they would ever expect you to just ignore raw food.
Hope it shows up on your home page as payment pending soon, then you know its ok

Sorry not to reply about matched betting. Its a way of using the free bets offered by many online betting companies as sign up bonuses to make some money by betting on both outcomes. There is tonnes of information in the gambling thread.

Have done my last MSing assignment as an unmarried man. I set myself a deadline of 10 days before the wedding which I've stuck to

So from now until 6th September (when I get back from my honeymoon) I'll not be pulling the wool over any shop staff's eyes, nor negotiating with them for the hell of it.

It does mean however that everything I eat in the next few weeks, I'll have to pay for :eek:

This is such a nice feeling - not when I remember I won't be getting my usual load of payments in at the end of next month though!
