Does anyone ever see restaurant visits for Saturday evenings? Bf thinks that would be much more fun than Sunday lunchtime, but I've not seen Saturday evenings...

The Spanish restaurants have been allowed on a Saturday and the posh fish restaurants too.

I've had the grilling after a poor MS as an employee-I made the mistake of telling a new manager we had a MSer in-and she went to pieces and totally messed up their order-and I was the lucky one serving the MSer. Technically the report should never have gone through as I told her I knew she was a MSer as I served her a burned and overdue meal and apologized. Looking back it was like something out of a comedy programme but at the time it was awful.

I hate the can't be bothered attitude-I had a bank job where the cashier just stared at me -no greeting -so I waited until she said "something" -Not sure "Alright" was quite what the bank trains them for tho-it was a shame because the enquiry part of the visit was first class. If they miss something and the rest of the enquiry was good I always try to leave a window for them to add it without prompting them. It's hard to find a good balance. I know we shouldn't even take into consideration that some companies use MS reports as a stick to punish rather than as a tool to improve but it is hard sometimes knowing that they do.

Please could I have a copy of the tax spread sheet too? Would make things easier.


Also... does anyone know how to factor in the repayment of student loan with self-employed mystery shopping? I have a full-time job that pays me over the threshold of student loan (post 1998) repayments. Am I right in thinking that I should also have some of my MShopping income go towards these repayments too? My forms are tied up in the 'system' at the moment so it might be that the answer comes out when these are dealt with!

My GFK pay was wierd if that helps. I'm sure one job said I would need to pay for a meal out of the fee money but they seem to have paid the cost of my meal on top of the fee. That may be why you can't get it to match if you have done one of these types of jobs. It was a nice surprise I wish I had ordered more because I got the cheapest thing available!.... ho hum

Oooo food on GFK ... am sure I havent done one of those , but hey thats good that they seem to have paid for your meal. I seem to be the amount adrift that the bank jobs pay so guessing it must be one of those.
