    Managed to pick up a non prescription one as well. :j

    The prescription visit has been sitting for a week and still there. Obviously a healthy lot my way :p

    Christ almighty, just looked at my emails and seen that a THIRD separate MS company is trying to shift an ESA casino in my county! They must be mega desperate!

    That is what happens when you have a one time only scenario, there are only so many people who will do these jobs.

    Just done the MOST obvious "we know who you are" gapburger job ever ever EVER.

    From the girl on the till spotting me as I walked in and mouthing REALLY OBVIOUSLY "it's the mystery shopper!" to her manager, to another 3 tills suddenly opening up to deal with the queue, to everyone in the back peering through at me and one even POINTING, to someone bringing my meal and another person bringing my receipt to the table, to 3 members of staff suddenly needing to wipe down all the seats around me and ignore the rest of the restaurant... yeah, they couldn't have made it any more obvious if they'd hung a banner out for me.

    Might avoid that one for a while :D

    I think I've got my repeat prescription cycle worked out in time with GR jobs quite nicely now. :rotfl:

    Exactly. You would imagine the client would anticipate that and not demand monthly visits! Quarterly would most likely suffice, and show whether or not standards are being continually maintained.

    And have some way of your details being removed from the system so you could at least do another location.

    That's a good point, I understand other companies (not necessarily casinos) do this, no reason why they can't. Think they will have to do something like this at this rate. Hope so anyway, it's a great night out! :D

    Thanks for the info. If you don't mind me asking, why do you think they are not worth the effort?

    I've stopped doing work for AA, fee is so poor. Finding others are cutting the fees too. MS used to be a good job when I started 8 years ago, pathetic now ............no mileage, parking etc.
    Rant over!

    Its not just the fees, they are well know for refusing to pay for reports they deem not up to standard, these never get re-shopped however.
