THE WORST is the "Please call.... before you can proceed" and its stupid the person is never there and its like "Uh make sure you go to X location as there is 2 of them in town" Ok... right... i accepted the one I wanted with the RIGHT address. idiots.

PS why am i wasting my minutes to call RE?

yonk

Maybe time to do a cost-benefit-income calc for RE.:D

Help !
I've got my first gyp chicken tonight - its a take out. Does anyone know if I need to check the toilets - its says I do in the training but can't see it on the questionaire. Also, if I do, is it ok to check them before ordering as I really don't want to take the food to the loo with me !
Thanks

Probably too late now but you don't need to check the toilets for a take out job.

Argghh how annoying! - Someone's dropped a couple of electrical retailer visits in my town for RE that are due until today:-

Its annoying because the brief would have been covered by a brief I was doing for BARE at the same shop today! - I could have got paid by 2 different MS companies for doing the identical shop!!

So fed up with having to confirm every job with RE. My manager doesn't phone me to ask if I'll be turning up to work each day so why do I have to waste my time emailing/phoning to confirm with RE.

Next time I get one of these condescending emails I will just reply 'CONFIRMED' and leave it at that.

Good idea. I've wasted far too many hours of my life replying to those stupid emails

Some of them even have the cheek to ask when I'll be doing the report as well.

I used to reply to those emails when they first started sending them out but I've been ignoring them for the past month and I've not had any problem...yet.

''Has anyone done any visits for Amber Arch? The reports are stupid. Halfway through the toilet cleanliness section it asks if I found an attendant in the car park and then carries on with the toilet question. Was I supposed to find a car park attendant in the toilet?''

This is my 'virgin' post on this forum so be nice please! I've just spent two hours filling in the same type of report for Amber Arch. The questions are sooo frustratingly repetitive and what's with that car park question in the middle of the retail bit? Must be a mistake.
Love this thread.. it's taken me 6 months and some wine to pluck up the courage to post!

LOL. I thought exactly the same. Most of my results for the first visit were copied and pasted for the second one. I mean come on. It's not like your views about the said centre are going to change overnight. As for the missing bag, how stupid was that. The members of staff just did not seem to care.

PS. Do we get reimbursed for the drinks? What a stupid question in the coffee shop section: "Did the member of staff do everything they could do to help?" or something along those lines. "Yes, she served me my drink" is what I wrote.

*manzy*

I've got another one to write up tomorrow..i'm kind of dreading it. So lengthy and boring. You're right, nothing changed in either visit and i felt like a right turkey asking about a missing bag twice in the same week- i was escorted to the same person!! I'm sure they must have recognised me from the other day and thought i was a nutter!

Anyone having a problem with RE tonight? Seems to be stuck on "Submit report". If all my work is lost and I have to write the whole darned thing out again I wont be a happy bunny.

I had trouble with it earlier - in the end I closed down the window and opened a new one, then navigated back to the job. Each category in the report had been saved so I just had to retype the last page and then it submitted fine (if slowly).
