What amuses me about AA is the vagueness of their job descriptions - and when you email to get further information, WHAM! it's assigned to you!

Yip, but on the plus side they have some randomer on the front page of their website to tell you how wonderful they are so thats ok

Anyone done one of these really expensive jeweller jobs for AA? It's a rotten fee and I've just spent ages trying to fill in all the comments they want, when there is not very much to say. Then I find a question asking for what I thought they had already asked me. Never again!

Can only endorse what everyone says about Tern. Very professional and work is well balanced.

TNS van job - hope my experience is not too bad when it comes to filling out my first questionnaire online. I am not sure I am cut out to negotiate on vehicles, I never seem to get a discount!

i wish people wouldnt take jobs with rotten fees at all. companies will then realise that they are not paying enough and need to offer more if they want it done

Ive only done bare car visit not tns, but it really depended on the dealer, the time of month (how close to targets) etc if I got a good discount, I usually managed to wangle some thing though and on some got some really good offers that I was half tempted with lol

If you've taken a job then realise the required work isn't worth it for the fee, do not be afraid to cancel it - and tell the cheapskates why, if and when possible!

Done this before and will do again. Its pathetic that these companies are expanding at the rate they are but then pay the people who get them their data a pittance. I often wonder what QC procedures the cheapskate companies have in place to ensure their sub minimum wage assignments are done to appropriate standards.

I am another one who does not even bother to check the AA jobs. Ridiculous reports for the fee offered.

I did consider ringing them up and saying that having read the questionnaire I wasn't prepared to do it, but as I was in the shopping centre anyway I thought - well why not. Now I know why not. Sometimes you have to try once and then you know not to do them again! And they can't say I wasn't there as they gave me a card.

But I agree, if we all refused to pick up jobs with peanuts fees then the MS co's would have to think again.

Did a cheap shop today and managed to fulfil my yearly challenge of finding a non-chocolate advent calendar with a nativity scene for my daughter, so I'm a happy bunny

This, but don't be afraid of the whiskey, infact when you think you have enough in, double it.

The black stuff does run through me veins I'll not deny it. Found a pub that does a good pint of it over here too which still shocks me.
