I'm filling in an RE electrical shop report and I have to fill in 60 characters for the name of the MOS :eek:. Now I've seen it all, lol.

I had this so I said something like 'the name of the employee who served me was....' - their reports are the one's I hate doing the most!

Has anyone had their Abai catalogue payments for July yet?

I got paid for one I did at the begining of the month on the 8th. Didn't do any later in the month.

Sometimes they're fine, other times they're a pain...

I spent THREE HOURS in a BMW garage once...

I was told on sitting down that the "experience" would last an hour or more so I got shirty and said I just wanted a price. Cue Business Manager being wheeled out. It still went on a bit...

Cars are ok, if you can negotiate the very best price without the salesman getting difficult. It does vary.

I did my first car circuit yesterday and I don't think I'll be in a rush to do them again - I feel too guilty about turning them down at the end, hubby was convinced I'd be coming home with a new car at the end of the day lol!!!

Yeah I always feel a tiny bit guilty as well... Get their hopes up and get them all excited that they're getting some commission then leave without buying anything... Really glad I don't work in car sales as it must be frustrating for the salesperson.

Is it just me or is anyone else finding the proofreaders at RE are going ridiculously over the top lately. I used to never get anything back and now it's getting to be nearly every job and for the stupidest things. I had one back today and I had clearly answered the question so have no idea what they were expecting me to do with it??
In case it's just me, it was for a sandwich shop and the question was something like how clean, tidy and organised was the shop. I gave it the second highest and said it was very clean and tidy, the organisation was fairly good but I had really struggled to get to the pastry cabinet as it was round the other side of the counter right in the back corner and as there was a queue it was impossible to get past.
The query said, 'state how they could improve' erm - that was my suggestion!!

You are working on the assumption that the points the proofreaders have to look out for agree to the shopper's notes, having seen one sometimes they are contradictory.

I've decided I don't like recorded phone calls. Just done two, and it was horrible knowing someone will be listening to me stutter and stumble when they asked questions I didn't know the answer to.
