^^^ This actually happens as well!

I had an email come through a few months back from Gap, saying that I had been recognised on CCTV as a 30yr old woman wearing a flowery dress with dark brown hair. There was a phone number on the email asking me to call in, so when I did, they were surprised it was a male that called. In fact, I'm mid twenties, male with blonde hair and I have never worn a flowery dress in my life lol. So the client really mucked up there!
All over the fact that they didnt have a good report..... something about the timings if I remember correct, they kept me waiting for ages and then the fries were cold due to being left on the tray for so long.
They tried to get the report thrown out as the 30yr old woman didnt check the toilets.... of course she didnt, she wasnt the MS'er! I was!

And a quick Q for anyone on RE.... I havent used RE much since they changed it all about. Under job details, it says "next stage required by...." where it says Review spec, the time required by is 13:35 on the visit day, but I'm going to be out MS'ing all day, so wont report until the evening. Am I just reading this wrong, or will nothing happen until I press the "Visit Attempted" button?

Yep, got that email on my last burger job. They got my details correct though. Not surprised as there wasn't another drive thru customer in sight and it looked like they only had three customers in the shop. Makes the delay in giving me my order look even worse.

Not sure about the RE question. Did one yesterday that was close to the next stage time but I may have just finished it before it got to the time.

If its any help, I always completed mine using Google Docs (part of Google Mail) even though I have MS Office anyway, just saved downloading and uploading all the time.

I have invites available for Google Mail if you want to use it

Thanks. Have got access to google docs but never used it. Handy to know and will give that a try if I need to.

You'll most likely find that the invoice form is the last page of the spreadsheet. 9 times out of 10 they get you to return the product too, and they pay for the return postage + cost of the item.
Its a shame they dont get more work down in this area, only jobs I did for them were posh shoe jobs, havent had anything for months.

.......

I notice how you were specific about not wearing flowery dresses....does this mean you might be caught in a non-flowery one?

Was it a matching top and skirt. Because they sometimes look like a dress :rotfl:

And I have never owned a skirt. Or wore a skirt with a matching top.

I'm clearly not the 30yr old woman that the client thought I was! :rotfl::rotfl:
