Hi ukmonkey Thanks for the reply - when I go into the shop I will ask to look at the Nokia N series and Blackberry's so I can compare them

I obviously look like the kind of anally retentive person who asks for receipts as I got no performance

If anyone knows the standard burger times could they PM me please - both my timings are coming up as either too short or too long (doesn't say which ) and I don't know how to comment :rolleyes:. Service seemed v good to me, hope my stopwatch wasn't playing up (or it's operator is a bit thick :rotfl:).

Thanks.

Edit: Panic over, thanks to a kind MSer xx

I was on an assignment the other day and on the brief it asked to gain ( if at all possible) the assitants name......now the assitant didn't have a name tag ( non of the staff did) and i was racking my brain while conversing with the assitant away of getting his name but just couldn't fatham an angle .....does anyone have some advice on how to gain this info without being too obvious?.

Some names are on receipts (Usually operator ID# though). But, if they don't wear name badges, I just give descriptions and say they weren't wearing badges. They should take that.

If it's a mobile phone kind-of assignment where the assistant gets commission from sales, they'll give you their name or even a business card if you decide to "go away and think about it".

I sometimes say something like "Is your name Paul? I`m sure I remember you from school." or something similar. They usually say no I`m Mark. Gotcha!!!
Generally a description will do.

On GfK, what do they mean by morning, lunchtime and afternoon? Is it your own perception, or do they have specific times? I'm thinking of going to a shop at 1.30pm, not sure if that counts as lunch or PM!
Thanks

I normally assume lunch is beetween 12-2 and the rest either morning or afternoon!! Never had a problem with that method before! HTH

I think when you actually assign the job it tells you?

ETA: Ignore me, it doesn't, it just says morning, lunch or dinner doesnt it!
