The Penny Drops, and with RE it usually is pennies!

You get the amount you spend up to the limit.

Hi Dawnie1972,
You'll be pleased to know that you're not being thick, in fact you are spot on, no fees & only reimbursed upto the maximum amounts.:mad:If you've spent that.
You would be doing the assignment for pure pleasure & give yourself a lot of pain & angst (sp) into the bargain.:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Can forecast a lot of these hanging about the website.

Its not getting any better I'm afraid, even with them having 10,000 new shoppers.

Yep and the latest to join the fee dropping revolution is TNS. Has anyone else notice the subtle drop in the supermarket fee? And the remodelling of the questionnaire where you are now checking everything bar the recycling bins at the far end of the bloody car park!

thanks for the "nice" comments - also noted for the assignment i saw you had to visit the toilets twice! is that incase someone had been in and changed things since the first visit. Good job i didn't have to do two toilet checks on the one i did today - YUK!

I think that the double check is in case there is a problem on the first visit so that you can see if they have rectified the problem. On some visits it says that you have to comment on the most positive of the two visits.

Some other reports will say you should visit once early on in the visit and if there is a problem you should visit again before you leave to see if the problems have been sorted and then you should report in the second visit.

Depending on the establishment you are visiting the toilets can be a minefield. I remember a good few years ago before I was sacked by Gap I was in Edinburgh for the day and done a burger job. I shoved the cubicle door open and there was someone sitting on the pan shooting up. A friend of mine who also does a few MS visits done a petrol visit at Harthill services a few few years back and was propositioned in the toilets by a businessman.

That happened to me in a services petrol toilets but it was a boy racer :rotfl:

Just took it as a compliment and left it out of the report, it's fairly impossible for the store to vet who does and does not use the loo!

Just checked my account this morning and no sign yet - completed my last one on the 1st of Jan! People with psychic accounts should be able to tell us though.

Having wondered yesterday why I wasn't eligible for an Italian Brothers couples dinner on RE, I have discovered now that I'm not eligible for anything at all!! I was going to do one of the hotel visits next weekend....

I've never released a job, and I've only ever had one proof reading query (blurry receipt)....I have got 8 jobs in the pipeline though. Could that be why? Is it worth phoning them and asking if there's a problem?
