    I'm not a fool and I've not had any run ins with them so would hate for people to make assumptions on why Assosia is not on everyone's list of favourite companies.

    I remember that, but that wasn't what I was referring to (I left them before that all kicked off). They have treated me and a number of other people on here very badly and unfairly for reasons totally unrelated to that incident.

    Better for the company that she is, utter waste of space, although what happened on here was a bit excessive.

    Didn't hear anything about it but wouldnt be surprised.

    If thats the issue I'm thinking of wasn't the former staff member the one who caused all the hastle in the first place causing people to leave?
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

  • Changing the subject COMPLETELY! Just had a phone call from Ken at MF and he sounds like a really sweet little old man just like me grandad! Felt bad having to let him down coz I'm having me hair done when the shop needed doing!! Lol

    Was going to put Vindaloo or Korma but that would have made it too obvious. LOL.

    I stand by my word, I can't stand DONKEYOSSIA. And I am glad they dumped me. I don't want to work for a company that thinks a simple audit which will take a short time to do actually means a long audit which will take over 2 hours!

    Hot on the heels of DONKEYOSSIA is the bunch of cowboys that like to call themselves TNS followed closely by REACT and their funked up allocation procedure.
  • Im not sure about some of the allocation processes either if I'm honest. I don't like how they pick and choose who they think are better shoppers as it doesn't let anyone become experienced and they may in fact be better x
  • Hi,

    I am still a little confused on tax forms for mystery shopping. Say I am reimbursed £35 for a meal and I spend the full £35 do I claim this £35 back as expenses - please help!

    Agreed with both points on your first comment. As for the second, I can't speak for the others, but she certainly did in my case. The director is also absolutely vile.
