Help! Please!

Doing the posh electrical store for the MS company whos web site is always down, it say I have to spend x amount. The trouble is the one I have chosen only sells TVs etc so nothing under three figures!!! How do you manage with these?

Do they not sell accessories - cables, stands, batteries, that kind of thing?

I cant drink one drink that is usually a prerequisite as I am allergic so other places (not RE) have told me to just order and not drink it. i still think thats a bit strange as how am I supposed to say if it was served appropriately as for all I know it could be vile (well for me it anyhow but you know what i mean )

No these ones don't need a photo. It's only for certain jobs they require them (thankfully).

I had to get a photo of a sandwich place the other day and the only way to do it was to stand in another cafe nearby. I did get an odd look from the waitress in there:o

thanks so much i did reply earlier but realised my reply isnt showing! i usually get partner to take photo for me but this is my first mystery shop day out (9 jobs) with my new car by myself. actually a big step for me as i had back surgery under 2 years ago and then a period without driving so will be my longest drive alone in 2 years :eek: now if i get lost i will not be impressed as i have lived in kent 3 years now and partner will think its funny ... :rolleyes:

Just make it up, everyone else does

OK, thanks!

Its interesting that the spell checker is all in american spellings - I was tempted not to alter my perfectly good english spellings, but then thought that it might fail me on that, so I let go of my pride and switched to the US way!

Yes - she's 2 and did that a couple of times on a recent holiday :rolleyes:

Never thought of doing that but will keep it in mind

Lovely sunny day and I've got a morning tramping around asking about mobile phones. So tempting to cancel the lot :rotfl:

GRR at RE.

Just accepted a slimy creature & salad lunch. Did the pre-acceptance test. One of the questions "This visit is for 2 adults only". Ticked yes. Got accepted.

Now reading notes and it says its for 2 adults and a child!!! So I'll have to cancel.

How ridiculous , a lunch job where you have to take a child during term time??????

So watch out anyone, before accepting this job, check you have an available child!!!

I had the available child (although only 18 mths), but I'd booked mine then thought about the amount of alcohol to be consumed. OH would be going back to work, I would be driving home with small child.

Perhaps not a good idea to consume glass of wine, spirits, pint of lager... I know you could order and leave them but I hate waste.

Now I know why the reimbursement was so high :rolleyes:

Heading out for my first 8 job day - the bliss of leaving 10 kids behind! (6 of mine, plus a friend from Oz with her 4 - coz I know that you needed to know!)

We've had them staying for nearly 3 weeks now, and I've never been so ready to escape the house.

I've just checked every site, and no new jobs this morning.

I'm gonna be so exhausted at the end of the day, right?

petrol audits on GapB

How do i see these? I can see a petrol station but there's only one job showing for the whole country...

EDIT: It's a different petrol station, d'oh! I've done the auditing orientation for them, but still can'y see them, so it seems that I have to do the MSing orientation too, unless it updates overnight or something?
