Anyone having trouble getting on TNS?

(at least it makes a change from RE!)

Yeah I can't log on either, just emailed the area manager.

Well done Lindz, let us know what happens - I always like to check it's not just me before I fire off an angry email :mad:. The other day it took me 2 reboots of the pc before I realised the number lock was switched off

TNS working now.

Spot the difference - I think it's the financial details section...

Regarding those GR travel agents. I saw one listed a few mins ago (gone now, but I could have grabbed it if I'd wanted). I did this same branch on 4th March.

Just curious - I didn't accept it because I feel it's too soon after my last visit and I would be recognised. I would have thought they'd ensure it wasn't offered to me in the first place? I mean, I'm quite happy doing supermarkets and electrical shops 2 months in a row, as they are quite large and have so many staff there's a good chance you won't see the same person - but a little travel agents with 4 desks????

Same reason why I didn't nad one - I did one on 4th April, so it'd be a month or less between the two visits!!! I left it as didn't feel comfortable in keeping my cover, especially given that I'd need to do the visit on the same day of the week as my last one. I'll be sure to leave it 2 or 3 months more before i do another at that branch. My report was very very good though, only a couple of exteremely minor things that were marked down.

Oh yeah, I remember seeing an email about them adding that, the other day.

I got one of the GR Travel Agents. :T:T

So I've currently got *four* jobs in the pipeline for GR - must be a record! :rotfl:

Snap! Makes a huge change! I got 1 in a different town - risked it really - and then got 2 travel agents a bit later! I think it paid of!

i dont think re would get the burgers as gap do them all around the world and the training notes are about how they want the mystery shops to be consistant in every country. hence the cash only and don't take anyone with you rule.

re seem to only be based in the uk. perhaps someone like bare could get it though??

A good point you raise yep BARE are international I think RE would make it worth the burger shops time to consider another company just for the UK - something like no fee, £x reimbursement and very restrictive dates.

Isn't the weather poor today? By the way, did you know that there are currently jobs for travel agents on the GrassRoots website?

Could some kind soul PM me details of who the client is? There are none showing on my GR

Yes, it's still broken for me too!
