Why should it have a capital I ?

Because it's a proper noun...

Still a bit shocked there's a wikipedia page for whether or not to use a capital I for Internet :eek:

I'm a bit surprised it still is a proper noun - like the wiki article says, it seems a prime candidate for common noun-age to me.

I still haven't worked out why they do the balloon handing out when the shopper is in...

One of the report questions used to say something like "... for example, handing out balloons to children." Clearly the MoS still think it's an integral part of the cabaret.:rotfl:

Doesn't it say something about staff interacting with other customers though? And were they treated better or worse than you?

Can't remember but have a feeling it does ask something along those lines, I have one to upload tonight so will have a look

And usually as soon as you ask for a receipt everyone gets treated like royalty, but especially the shopper :rotfl:

Not quite! It explains the balloons. It doesn't explain why they think the floor show will make a difference to anything!:rotfl:

And that more recent question about preferential treatment [did the MSer get more attentive service than other customers?] - surely that's a floor show detector???:D Maybe we are being marked on the number of floor shows we get. Three strikes and out?

Next time I go in I'm going to ask for a receipt - even though I won't be doing a MS :rotfl::rotfl:
I want good service lol!

Everyone I know now asks for a receipt! Best thing is to ask for a receipt as you order - it guarantees hot, fresh food.:rotfl:

I'm always a bit put out if I don't get a floor show now!! Usually when they do a floor show everyone gets the red carpet treatment though not just the shopper so I usually answer that question that everyone in the restaurant was sucked-up to not just me

I had one a few months ago where they'd totally missed me as a shopper and the food was awful. They did the usual complain about the shopper because we didn't spot them trick... :mad:

Not only that but they'd added ten years to my age on their description :eek: was less than amused that day!!!

The one I'm typing up tonight was very busy when I visited it. I got some very evil looks from the customers stood to the side of the till waiting for their food when mine was delivered within 30 seconds of paying
