    Yes the photo ones are an extra small fee!
    No Matter what you do there will be critics.

    WEll ive seen it on the suffolk ones its under URGENT ADDITIONAL INFO.. if you scroll down.. thats taking the MICK!-- However they are paying FULL fee (old fee) for it?

    Thanks Jen, just had a look at it...

    Sometimes it's bad enough taking one photo of a shop never mind three from different angles :rotfl: think being challenged by a staff member might happen on this...

    Worked out why none of mine have this requirement, mine are traditional egg shops (i.e. a bit tatty) not the posh ones shown in their example shots ;)

    Sooo if you want the OLD fee you need to take 3 photos makes me kinda laugh.

    Not sure which shop you mean then but I think it's unlikely you will have to use the fitting rooms in the children's dept, otherwise the scenario would dictate that you have to take a child with you. What exactly do the assignment notes say to do in the kids dept?

    Completed my coffee shop for TNS on Saturday after having the email to say hang fire with results, but have now had an email this morning saying results must be entered within 48 hours or job will cancelled???? Has anyone else heard from TNS re entering the results yet or is this just an automated email from them???

    Cheers

    I'm a graduate accountant too, never actually got into it workwise. Would like to one day. I think TIMNE was getting married at one point and then he just disappeared. I used to like his posts. :-)


    He's still around, but been very busy so hasn't had a chance to post for ages. :)

    I had the same 'late results' email today - and I've sent back a very snotty reply to them!!! I have now submitted my results though - based on advice from a shopper on another MS forum that I use. She said that she had a follow up email 2 days ago telling her the eroor had been rectified and that it was OK to send the results.

    Its a pity TNS apparently didn't inform us all that we could get on with it - but par for the course I suppose since they got rid of their 'proper' staff!

    I would send yours now if I were you.

  • Hi

    Is anyone else having problems getting onto the TNS VAS? I've got result to input on there but it won't launch.

    I signed up to ESA hoping to do the EGG shops, but the fee has been put down! Boohoo. Also, I find their visits to be very long winded and take forever to do. At least with RE, it's mainly one enquiry and a little purchase. With ESA, the clothes/hardware shop for example, they are taking the Michael if they think I am going to go and do 2 sets of enquiries in the 2 different departments for the pittance they pay! I mean !!!!!!!

    With the reduction in fees with all agencies, what I have started doing is collecting various jobs from various agencies, and blitzing them all on one day. At least it makes it kinda worthwhile.

    Anyway, hope everyone is having a good Bank Holiday :j:j
