    Did my RE audit today. The woman was very flustered. Had no idea i was going to turn up and was on the back foot. Pointed out every product and followed me everywhere, she was that bad i totally forgot the pictures. I'm sure she nearly had a heart attack when i turned up again lol

    Anyone else do them?
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!

    Got my audit atthe end of the week. I have done this job before when it was Bare I think, and was a nice job then, wonder how it will compare?

    Did mine the other day. Fortunately the MoS showed me everything and we did it in 10 minute, otherwise I'd have been there ages!
    Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.

    I have done 2 so far. In neither shops have the staff come round with me, they have let me get on with it and helped me when I have asked. First one took 30 mins, today 25 and hopefully after my 9 tomorrow I will be down to 10 mins!
    Pity they couldn't have made the list a bit more user friendly i.e put stuff in alphabetical order or in sections..oh well it is RE!

    Be warned with Bare phone calls. If the company you are calling do not pick up, they expect you to do it again the week after and not get paid anything for the first attempt. Was on phone for 1 hour, the company didn't pick up, and the woman from Bare expected me to do it again the week after. No one picked up, and she was like do it again. I told her where to shove that stupid job!

    I was told that I would get half fee for the one that didn't pick up, because they had given me the wrong info. They said that it was ok to give me half fee because they would want me to re do it and therefore I would be getting 1 1/2 X the fee for the job ???? !!!!!! :mad:
    Don't think so..........

    Has anyone had any dealings with Kern Scheduling before?

    I've completed 2/3 mystery shops for them (2 today, one tomorrow). However I've had to email asking if they can try and find someone to cover tomorrow's as I don't think I'm going to make it (an uni issue decided to appear in my inbox when I got home a few hours ago).

    I'm wondering if you think they'll ever take me on for future assignments or if they will ignore me now? (I have offered to do it on Wednesday, although the last day of the wave is tomorrow i think)
