    I am time barred from all my local ones so had to travel a bit this time. :mad:
    I got the loop on the coast this time, she stayed by the Tees and FIL headed toward County Durham, effectively covered the lot from Makemland down t'moors. We'll swap routes next time. :D

    ETA

    I find coffee is best in the morning as I like the taste better.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    It's got to be a diet coke for me.

    Bloody hell, how lame are TNS. That's the 3rd email I have had off them in 3 weeks that has been recalled. I know people make mistakes, but come on, this is getting a bit stupid! Bring back the regional managers I say!

  • You lot are making me hungry for baguettes; signed up to see if I could get some, only to discover that I used to work for the client (although in a different part of the business) so can't do them anyway. :rotfl: Probably just as well, my freezer's full already.

    Have also signed up for RA and am belatedly adding to the horror over that clothes shop job. Not even close to minimum wage. Yuck.

    Anyway, off out for a busy day doing jobs that actually pay more than they cost to do. :D

    They even phoned me yesterday, asking me to do my local shop, and I politely declined their offer. They wouldn't have to phone if they paid a decent fee in the first place. :mad:

    My regional manager was the best. She gave me all the posh pizzas, all 4 of them every other month. Woohoo. And when I emailed her, she called back in less than an hour. The new TNS lot won't reply to emails even after a week!

    What TNS special invite was it? Was it a car one? If so, I got it.

    yup mine was a an old guy and also a woman sometimes, he was great too ;)


    yeh cars for tns, but something else for bare

    did anyone else see AA shopping centre emails, they are having a laugh arent they ?
    We are going to allocate these stores in groups of approximately 20, along with a caf! and a restaurant. (These figures are approximate and may change). The fee will be determined by the amount of the stores, but to give you a rough idea, you may be paid in the region of £** for each group of stores which will take no longer than a morning to complete. These visits differ slightly to some of our other store visits and the reduced fee reflects the time required in each store and the length of the checklist you will be required to complete.

    regardless of how long it takes, id be looking at three figures for 20 visits and reports !

    I saw them, I don't see how they could possibly justify that unless there is a nice big reimbursement for every shop.
