    Thanks!

    I also had the same experience with G burger. On asking for a receipt the assistant shouted out

    "LADY WANTS A RECEIPT"

    All eyes swivelled towards me and then they literally would not leave me alone. I was offered a balloon and they even followed me to the toilets!


    On an MS visit I did on Monday I had the staff offering to carry my food, my drink and even my jacket which I had been carrying and put down on the counter to get my purse out. I was asked which table, and then the chair was pulled out for me and the staff member with the jacket placed it neatly over the back. I was also given the remote for the big-screen TV, and complimented on my hair colour and shoes.

    It's amazing what asking for a receipt can get you :rotfl:

    Given the remote for the TV!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Love it!

    I had 2 lots of food thrown away by 2 different supervisors at the weekend. The lady served me told a supervisor that I'd asked for a receipt, and she came over, picked up the chips and burger and threw them in the bin right next to her, right in front of me!! She went and got some fresh ones, and off she went.
    Then another supervisor, who I think has clocked me before, came out and came straight over, tipped everything on the tray into the bin, and went and got me some more chips and burger while the original girl (who I'm sure was new) just looked a bit bewildered!

    They did offer to carry it to my table, but I declined. The guy standing to the side to wait for his (cold by now) meal looked just as bewlidered too!

    Here there and everywhere, literally! It's been a mad 4 or 5 weeks.

    I've not got anything else booked in at all, aside from regular work.

    give me strength! About 2pm today Gap called me and me to do a supermarket. I explained I could do the visit, but would struggle to get the report done tonight as I would be busy. Hum, haw, fine, please do it. 3pm: phone call: have you done this visit? Me: no. It was allocated less than an hour ago. 4:30: phonecall. Have you done it yet?

    I can't type coherently enough to do it tonight. Will do 1st thing. It's been a long and crappy couple of days and I desperately want to win the lottery and run off to the sun.

    hi , does anyone work for Aba ?I have an interview with them and they told me it lasts about two hours. Can anyone tell me(or pm me) what they do during the interview?and if it is a single interview or lots of people are invited?A bit nervous now:eek:

    In Edinburgh on the 24th? I was meant to be going as well but dont have the time. Was hoping it wasnt going to be in the city centre. The extra hassle going in and out makes it too long a day for me.

    Let me know how you get on. And good luck!!:)
