    It's not just that you may been a shoplifter, in fact it happens so often I think everyone now assumes it's just a tag that the check out operator has missed. Sometimes I've seen the security people wave people out through the door without even bothering to look through their bags.

    I think if the tag is still activated it can cause problems going through the doors of other shops, too, as it can set some other alarms off.

    Don't get me wrong, it is embarrassing, and if you were stressed out anyway with the assignment then I can certainly understand why you were so upset. I'm not sure if there's anywhere on the report to mention it. They used to have a bit asking about the best and worst aspect of your visit, but I haven't seen that question for a while.

    You usually have to ask for them, I've NEVER been given one without asking. What area are the jobs in? If you happen to be in an area I cover I *might* have receipts from the locations from my own visits. Can't promise anything though!

    No problem. I do travel though - just depends which direction from me you live in. I do have one receipt from a underground sandwich in London! :D

    RE have a section for carrying out business calls. It says you need a business email address. Is it worth paying for an email address to get these jobs?
    Thanks.
