Does anyone have any tips for the GR supermarket queue audits?

Have you ever been asked by the supermarket staff what you doing? I know the instructions to cover this are in the brief, but I can imagine the supermarket staff aren't too keen on us queue checking!

It literally takes a few minutes and I've never been questioned. They do smile at me sometimes!:D

It would be wrong, even if accurate, do describe a staff member's distinguishing feature as raging acne, wouldn't it?

Yeah, last one I did I got asked but all perfectly civil and more curiosity then questioning. I just said what is says on the brief and no trouble at all.

"Severe skin inflammation covering entire face which adolescents are prone to acquire" might be a little gentler but perhaps more offensive if the MOS ever gets to read the report. Poor thing.

Hey guys I have a quick question as I have only been ms since july, do the christmas periods tend to get busier?

I am quite busy at the mo with various audits and promo work, but I am wondering if this will continue? In the past few months my main work came from re, but I signed up to a few more and found a few that are supplying me with some regular work for the next few weeks which is good.

I wouldn't include a skin condition in the report... im sure the description otherwise is fine.

Not sure about bussier but depending on where you work. I'm going to plan when I stop doing shops. getting into town last year was a nightmare.

I think the programs themselves wind down as e.g. not fair to time the queue on christmas ever is it lol

plus the shops will be a lot busier so may not be worth your time if it takes you 3 times as long find the staff and queueing etc.

You will just have to wait and see as a lot of it depends on your area and the jobs you take.
