I'm not too happy at the moment - had an email from a certain jewellary assignment saying I will not get paid for it as I enquired about something I shouldn't have done. Which I did not, it was just that the assistant assumed I was after this particular type and showed me these items to begin with.

If its for Bare don't the guidance notes say that you may initially be shown one piece of jewellery and if it is x then please mention that you know a lot about x and you would like to see something else? If that is what happened then they should pay if you point out that the scenario was covered in their guidance notes.

Can only accept 1 pub assignment on RE? Damn the days of doing circuits of jobs for them are gone. Suppose you need to keep 50,000 shoppers happy

Agreed, if I remember the guidance notes you're supposed to steer them away from the specified products (if they are the first ones mentioned), if you did this then I'd argue that you followed the guidelines. However if the assistant misunderstood you and you didn't try and move the enquiry back to the relevant products you might have a problem.

New - RE Pub visits.

Haven't done any of these for a while, have they just cut the fee or has it been at that level for a while? - also if I remember rightly the assignment instructions used to specify you didn't need a receipt for drink 2, although that is no longer mentioned?

The fee has been cut but the reports are much easier for example things like what's left and right of the store are not included(as far I remember from my last one). But I think the cut is down to the fact that these visits will be done more frequently. But I personally rather the higher fee and extra questions.

See what you mean (from the questionnnaire), although in typical RE joined up thinking it is still listed as a requirement in the brief :-)

. . . . . That is of course assuming you don't get RE proofreader queries to fill in the gaps!

Think I'll let someone else have my local ones that are left.

It was with another company previously

Pip has had it for a while just not always report based- but the other company still has it-- for now.
