    Has anyone done a Grassroots supermarket checkout audit?

    I have one to do today and I am a little nervous about it. If you went in and signed in told them what you were doing and did it I wouldn't be nervous it is the going in and just doing it, hope I don't get asked what I am doing.

    Hi Cathy,

    You don't need to sign it before you commence the audit. You only need to tell a member of staff what you are doing if they approach you.

    I quite enjoy doing these.

    Hi this is the one where if they ask what your doing you can tell them right? --I just walk up and down and count. Most of them know why ur there.. and if they ask tell them. I remember my brief always said i could.
