I think you may be right... because the locations have all been duplicated in the second wave I think.

well 2 i took to be done by today are still the same but just took a 3rd one with the same out of date time scale but when i got through to that stage actual dates were 3-20th - and it did not have a 2nd questionnaire??? I will never understand RE!

Just noticed the contact for these station jobs has changed... and that means I've emailed the wrong person...

And a bit of embarrassment for the new one if her first wave has gone out all mucked up..

thanks - if anyone has already done this months it would be a great help to hear from you. i understand it a bit more from this which is great but its this bit that I still have problems with Follow the link in your email and you will get a list of departments in this store. These are the departmetns you have to visit. my problem with that is for example with one of them it states there are 9 departments in the store and then it lists 2 that I need to visit. So do I just do the 2. also with most of them the choices it states I have to do do not appear on the lost of what departments are in the store so how can I do them

for example store has (im using pets as a different scenario here):

store has:
dog food
cat food
rodent food
toy section

sections you have to visit:
animal section
fish section

how would you be able to do the 2 if they are not actually in the store? sorry I am so confused i thought these would be easy.

This bit is really badly worded by TNS. It means, using your example, that the store has dog, cat and rodent food deparments, and a food section which is visited on every MS. Also on this particular visit you will have to chekc the animal and fish sections.

I've not done any supermarket jobs this month, but you usually receive a fee, a reimbursement for groceries, and a milage allowance. You also receive a small reimbursement for the cafe if the store has one, and a small reimbursement for a spend in the petrol station shop if there is one.

Arrrghhh!
Just come back form an RE Spanish job - had spoken to them earlier on in the week regarding the confusion between the briefing notes and the questionnaire regarding drinks. Then whilst I was doing the visit (in the loo!) I noticed that the questionnaire also mentioned that I was meant to order a salad. The briefing notes that I porinted out don't say naything about it, but I am doing another one next week and the notes have been changed to include this. I have sent an email explaining all of this, including the fact that they sent out 2 emails regarding the drinks situation to everyone doing the visits, but still not mention of the salad.

Do you think they will pay me or not? :mad:
