Mee too! Seems there is quite a bit of competition for those jobs! Interesting that they allocated them all to the same person though....

Yeah I thought that too but maybe the person has worked for them longer as I am just a newbie with them. Plus on paper I am in Kent and jobs I was interested in were all over an hours drive away but if it was not a problem for me Id not have thought it was a problem for them.

Is it a buy, return and order in? I got the same girl at the checkout every time. Felt like a bit of a fool, but hey, I'm used to it.

I usually chat when getting refunds and usually blame my partner somehow

If it's a female staff member, I normally go in as if I'm a bit cheesed off and say that although I told my husband I was buying a replacement kettle (or whatever you bought!), he's just rang me to tell me he's bought one. Then the lady normally has a bit of a "men are hopeless and don't listen" type rant with me, and I don't feel as stupid

Lmfao That is exactly what I did last week and it was a kettle too. Only thing is mine is a partner not a hubby. :D:D That way you don't look like a moron How many men all over the country are getting blamed for things (for once) they havent done

Haha unfortunately I couldn't really use my partner as an excuse to take a pink DVD player back :rotfl:

Thats when I would have blamed my 16 yr old boy :rotfl:lmao only joking - thats when I would have blamed my partners sister . With all my mystery shopping I always use an actually person as then I just chat away like normal so not even sure partner or son would know Im lying unless they listened the the details properly :eek: In an electrical store the other day member of staff and I had a long chat about partners not cleaning house properly, dogs and xmas presents :D

Does make me feel bad as in reality I can't stand liars and tell my son to tell the truth at all times... unless you are doing this sort of work I try to do the phone calls and stuff when hes at school so he cant listen in to my lies by accident. Also felt bad a while ago as due to work I got TONS of holiday brochures through in the post and he thought I must be planning a surprise super holiday - I had to let him know that's not the case as we don't have the money

Alright guys and girls,

just a quick question about how I add more clients on ABAi :rotfl:, ONLY JOKING,

On ABAi does any one know how many visits of one wave can you do because I can not find it anywhere ?

Cheers

They usually send out an email confirming for each wave and client and from what I can gather you cannot see the jobs once you have reached the allocation maximum. For example for latest cat wave email stated 3 of one sort of job and 3 of the shorter one are the maximums. Then I had an email about a job still being available in my area, I checked and could not see it so I emailed them and I have now been over allocated to cover it - thus once you have reached your allocation you are not allowed to see any more. I hope that makes sense
