Sounds like the one I got asked to this month as well. They phoned me and asked if I could do it and as always added more mileage as its a bit of a distance. I was followed round the store, I didn't dare to stop moving until I got to where my enquiry was in case they pounced on me. Then I was handed the receipt and another MOS grabbed my purchases and announced they would carry them to the car. I think I might have been sussed also. :T

does anybody work for Retail Rapport?

They want three referances which seems like a lot! Do they have any good clients? i may make the effort if there were a few good ones but knowing me i shall join and the closest thing is miles away lol

I have done some work but I have only ever seen one client.

Another sad reflection of the times. A clothes shop for cool people that used to be on Tern has now shown up on RE. The difference? Instead of getting £x, you now get a QUARTER of this, with the other three-quarters down as reimbursement. I've just been on their website and you can barely get a pair of socks for the level of reimbursement (and I wish I was joking.)

Sigh...

Are clients bothered about the 'quality' of the reports? Or in the current climate is it a case of try save £x on the contract and we aren't bothered if the results say x,y,z - look how much we save using RE rather than anyone else?

Is anyone doing the egg shops that are not egg shops anymore? I'm wondering what I can buy and what excuse I can use. The crushed crips is a good one but I don't want a cupboard full of crisps - Can I buy say a banana and take it back because it tastes funny or is that too ridiculous?

I sometimes feel like I have no shame!

Interesting that the client for that is one that pushes the ethical green agenda yet contributes more food waste than anyone else with that particular shopping criterion?

No offense that is ridculous.. lol

Heres somethings I use I try to make sure that the company doesn't loose out too much

I buy one of the small cake slices -- say it was open
bottle of water-- seal was broken
Sandwich -- tasted off
crisps -- crushed

You can always try for reimbursements rather then replacements i prefer replacements im not bothered too much when i do these.
