ABA-i seems very slow tonight. I have 3 Super shopper reports to do and each page is taking about 3 minutes to load! GRR!

Yes I had the same problem took me 24 minutes to do a comp. petrol

You haven't missed much. It was just a polite reminder to us to remember that we signed confidentially agreements (which is fair enough and true), that we shouldn't discuss projects on forums and that a company's attention was drawn to this forum and comments made.

i need some advice, i applied for a fast food drive-thru shop in the town next to me a few weeks ago to do today, i logged on and checked the paperwork this morning before leaving for college and everything was fine. ive now gone and done the assignment straight after college and theyve changed it to one in my town.

there was a reason i didnt apply for that one instead of the one in the next town, its on the motorway and it's "every man/woman for themselves" at 5pm (the time i went) on the roundabout to get onto the motorway, theres been tons of accidents there, and having only passed my test a couple of weeks ago there's no way i'd go on it without getting at least another couple of week's or maybe another month's experience driving on my own, and even then I'd want someone in the car with me like my mum or dad who've been driving for years the first couple of times at least.

its not even like the fee is enough to cover a 2nd meal, the fee is less than 1/4 of the meal cost (had to purchase a family-size meal).

should i just submit the results anyway? ive emailed them before when they underpaid me (only by 90p) about a month ago and never got a reply so i dont think i'll get a response and dont want them to release the assignment when i've forked out for a family size meal, most of which is now in the fridge to be warmed up tomorrow as im the only one in the house who likes their chicken and chips, and is therefore not worth the money i paid.

Same, was nice and quiet at work though, so managed to get all but one of mine done. As well as explaining what mystery shopping is to the poor sod stuck in the area because his car got nicked earlier in the week.

Did you print the paperwork showing the original address or do you have the allocation email showing it? If you do, email them- they should sort something out. If not, I'm afraid you're probably just going to have to take the loss.

I definitely wouldn't submit the results before emailing them- they're not for the right location, which will be obvious from the left and rights, shop number etc.

Is anyone else having problems logging on to TNS? The screen told me to issue an error report...not seen this before!

Just came here to ask the same thing!
I suppose it's a good thing that it's a general error with them and nothing to do with us specifically!
