    Its not even showing up as pending on their system.... one allocator told me it was never put through
  • I was just wondering how people feel if they have been sussed as an ms. Do you keep ms'ing the same place and think sod it or do people take a little time out from shopping that location again?

    If I think I might have been recognised I give the outlet a break for a while. I have only ever been officially recognised once but that meant I lost a chain of shops so it is not worth the risk imo. :D

    Just been on their website and mine is not showing as paid yet.

    I really think something should be put on the first page about this company or the link removed. I mean if the company is listed it means it is being recommended, and I think a few of us on here would have second thoughts about working for them again.

    I've shopped the same restaurant around 20 times in 10 months (and been asked to go a couple more times than that!) I think my record was going 7 times in 9 weeks.

    In all honest I'm not sure that they ever see the reports, because there hasn't been a signficant improvement and it's still hit and miss. In general they're pretty good though, but the occasional bad visit makes me think they haven't got a clue who I am.

    This is with a company that specifically ask me to help them, so they're obviously happy for me to keep going back there. I have cut down on the number of visits though (not the healthiest food) but when the company ask me specifically it's harder to say no. It's not like company where you can pick your own jobs.

    There's a couple of local places that I think know me. As long as they dont say anything, then I dont bother. It's still just my assumption, not a fact. We dont usually report on assumptions.

    It has gone the other way when I was in a supermarket on a normal shopping. All the tills had 4 or 5 customers queuing. I was trying to figure out which looked the quickest when a girl popped up and said I'm just opening this till, I'll serve you. She then asked me all the question she should ask. Checked i had everything I needed, that i had enjoyed my shopping and told me to have a good day. I was so sure that this shop must have sussed me. But it's never happened again so I think it was just MS paranoia creeping in.

    Yeh I think we can all get like that sometimes haha. Sometimes the staff are just too good, but I take it as face value and assume that they're that nice to everyone! :D
