Oh well I scored a 5 on a coffee job which I did exactly the same as any other if fact better because I made notes of every variety of sandwich etc. My other ones I got 9!

It asks you to spell check but it never works (I am using a MAC) oh well never mind!:p

Hi. Thinking about applying for some of the competitor window audits on ESA as there are finally some in my area :j. Just wondered if anyone has had problems with being apprehended by staff when taking piccies. Or do people generally do them early in the morning before the shop opens? Any advice gratefully received

Doing them first thing before the shop opens seems to be the easiest option. Was discussed before a couple of threads back and this was the favoured method. You can make sure you've got everything you're meant to get without any problems.

I did this job for the first time a few weeks ago. I hadn't thought of going before they open, so I was there about 11.30ish. I was terrified, but no staff seemed to notice. I did get a few odd looks from passers-by, but nobody questioned me.

ETA: Which MS companies withold their number? I was just in the loo and missed calls on my mobile and house phone, number withheld, and no message, very annoying.

Yep, though nobody really knows how much difference it makes.I just say I'm an experienced shopper and when I'm available.

They must read it though as I said I could do a shop a day after the date they were looking for. Job had been hanging around for a while. They phoned me up to check if I could do it earlier but gave me it when I said I couldn't.

Am I going mad or has the Alerts thread disappeared again?


ETA: Found it!! I wasn't subscribed to it any more! Weird. I did think it strange that there had been no alerts for a few days, LOL!!!!

I think they do - but it doesn't seem to matter what 'rubbish' you put in so I'm not sure anyone actually reads it!
