    Thanks lil_me and stacface... I didn't do a great job of describing the shop - it's more a motor accessory shop. I have to order something online and then collect it in store, yet pay for it online by having it delivered to the store. Was hoping to get it all done and dusted tomorrow, but this looks like an unnecessarily lengthy process.

    Also on a separate note, anyone having difficulty uploading pics to their BARE reports? One of mine is late because it just won't accept the picture.

    Nested quotes are a b*gger on this forum! I quoted mine, to save people having to scroll back to remember what I was on about.

    The briefing states to order something online to be delivered to the store. This does not seem to fit into any of the options, you either order and pay for delivery to your own address, or reserve online and pay in store. There was no delivery to store option.

    I reserved it, and have to go and pick up the item in a little while, but I'm still baffled as to whether I have done the right thing! I know I sound a bit dozy. Any ideas?

    Was supposed to order and put the store's own address in the delivery box? That's just odd lol

    Would appreciate some advice from shoppers who use the I-phone please.

    What I am finding a pain, is that the stop watch does not record the start time, as a time. Therefore I can press the lap button, and get the seconds split between each timing point, but I still have to manually look at the clock at the start and remember the time.
    The seconds are not even easy to read on the i-phone clock.

    I have a 3GS, so it might be different on the 4.
    Has anyone found a good solution to this? Or an app maybe that records the correct start time, and then lap/intermediate timing points?

    I have my first burger job Thursday, and I think they are very hot on the seconds being corrrect!

    Someone needs to shop it before you can go again. Although the shops are on a two or three month wave - i.e. all shops are shopped at least once during the wave therefore it could be 4 or 6 months before you can visit again. Some shops are visited more frequently than others.

    For example in my local area Motherwell comes up less than the others.

    Have just checked the one I've picked for this month and it says June/July So it looks like it's 2 month waves. Although what's first in this wave may be last in the next. Hope all that makes sense and helps.

    Done. :)

    While we're on the subject of ABAi, as I understand it, one of the department stores has three types of visit - restaurant, beauty, and various departments. I only ever see the restaurant ones -do you need to phone and ask to be added for the others?
