    Anyway, I've just worked out that I've probably visited the wrong bank :( Why must they only name the blooming group and not the actual bank?? The initials in the Jobcode indicate that it's the bank I visited and not its' group-mate down the road. Plus, if I've understood the briefing notes correctly, they actually say not to visit said group-mate bank. But the address says otherwise. I guess there's no point in completing the questionnaire. What shall I do, just leave it and drop them an email/call them in the morning just to check? Or just cancel it and make contact with my explanation?

    Call them, they can get details wrong, last time I had a similar case they asked me to visit a promotional stand in the shopping centre, when I arrived it was not at the assigned location, when I called them they gave me a new location. Unfortunately afterwards it turned out they'd given me the wrong location (as this was 1 of 2 sites and had already been shopped). As it was their error they paid without a quibble.

    Can't comment on the specifics of the bank jobs however as I don't see them (obviously don't meet the demographic)

    Just a teeny tiny niggle - and I'm not having a go or being personal, but it's just that it's one of my pet hates and I keep noticing it with you Berbastrike...

    I will more than happily let you off for not being able to find something on Google, but surely you can find the Shift/Caps Lock button for Capital Letters at the start of sentences, and 'I'?!? :p
    I'm sure you write properly in your reports, and yes, I know this is just an internet forum and no one is testing you for grammar, but I thought it was just one of those things that everyone did proper anyway?!?! :D

    typing with no caps is quicker for me although it may come across if i am uneducated.

    I was hoping that the sarcastic tone would be obvious!!

    I wasn't saying you're uneducated, but surely it doesn't take more than half a second or so to hit shift as you type a letter. It would be better to do it all the time so that it's just a natural thing to do without thinking about it. That would be picked up by most MS companies, and for ones that aren't FFF and the points you get for each job mean more to allocators, you wouldn't want to lose out on work because of something so silly!!

    do Greggs do mystery shopping? i have searched google before Lil_Me tells me to google

    One of the companies on the first page does them. Or used to, haven't seen any jobs for a while so it may have changed. You're probably already signed up to the correct MS company.

    The msc that appeared to come up on google isn't mentioned on the first page, the mystery thickens! :)

    Havent seen any jobs for a while and never did them anyway. The local shop shut down and the fee wasnt worth travelling any distance for. May be another company doing it now.
