    One of the TNS supermarkets I do has a Starbucks instead of the cafe. Still have to MS it but at least you can get some proper coffee or a nice cake (albeit more expensive).

    same here. ive got a coffee there tomorrow with someone else (its not starbucks just changed so i am not giving away clients) what a pity i couldnt get the tns visit at the same time :o

    My local one is the same. Has a branded coffee shop which makes ms'ing it much more bearable than the standard supermarket cafes! Coffee much nicer too!

    with those i go for buying a bag of coffee to use at home. means i get money off of a luxury treat item and we get more coffees than if i drunk in and means i am not stuck in the cafe.

    Anyone got contact details for Bare. I applied for a computer job. There are only 4/5 on the board that haven't been allocated. I said i could do it today or tomorrow and it's still pending.

    I don't want to have to cancel my application because it would be typical i got an email sat am by which point i will be 70 miles away?

    I shall assume there waiting for somebody better as it is my first application.
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!

    you should be able to email them but bear in mind this is how they cover their work so you generally do not hear to the last minute or else you just do not get it.

    The reimbursement for this part just covers a drink. I feel the time sitting drinking it, is just wasted time with no gain. Would prefer it if the cafe was a completely separate visit with a proper fee and reimbursement. Not likely to happen though.

    You're obviously not a Mam then. It's priceless being able to sit uninterrupted and drink a whole cup of coffee while it is still hot :D
    Here I go again on my own....
