I put an alert on there that said "Public tourist visits on GfK" and some people read that as "Public toilet visits on GfK"!!:rotfl::D

Yes - that was the one!

Just took a look at the RE underground sandwich assignment. Typical in RE style, for an assignment that takes about 5 minutes inside the shop, there are about a million questions and then a big box where you have to type out your visit from start to finsih. Yeah riiiiight....all this for a small sandwich, no thanks, I think I will pass this. BUT, they are being snapped by eager MS'ers !

Have to admit I was disappointed with my last RE assignment. The report took ages to write and seemed to keep asking the same question about 3 times. Then at the end I had to write my visit from start to finish... basically duplicating everything I had just told them in the comments sections.

Maybe I'm just feeling a bit run down at the moment but somehow this seems like it just isn't worth all the effort for the tiny fee.

Luckily for me, I'm new to MS'ing, and the novelty of doing the assignments hasn't worn off and I'm still happy to fill in endless questionnaires!

Watch this space on how long this lasts though... ha ha.

Can somebody tell me (PM if you prefer) what the catalogue shop jewellery counter visits involve?

They're just a straight forward enquiry, ask for a recommendation, another specific question and all done. Easy money.

Just an enquiry about a gift to see what they say and a further specific question to ask. Can be done fairly quickly if the store is not busy.

That was last month's anyway - I can send more details if you PM me your email

Oh great, thanks guys. Just noticed one of the ones I'm gonna do is a buy in store and refund one, how do they work? Do you refund there and then in the same store? Can you take it to another store the next day?
