    I read it as 'Is there anyone who works there that knows you MS or is a mate and will give you exceptionally good service or a bit of discount and completely b*gger up your visit?' If the answer is 'yes probably' then leave it alone.

    It really is about using a little common sense with that one.

    As I work at a college, I have a fair few students that work at a variety of pubs, supermarkets, the cinema I do my SPI's at. I just avoid them. Seeing as I work with about 150 students if I didnt avoid I would have to work in another city!

    I agree, my daughters friend works in one of mine but I don't "know" her and she doesn't know what I do as I don't tell anyone, if asked I say I merchandise to everybody. No one really needs to know and I don't need the hassle. :)

    Yes same happened to me as I had a supermarket today. Just entered the date for next week sunday and added an explanation at the bottom in the last comments box.
    Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk

    Sorry if anyone has already asked this but I could not find anything by seaching..... has another company picked up the slow TNS supermarkets or have they just stopped? If so who?
    Also - how many companies do abai shop for at the moment? I get 3 on my screen is it worth asking for some more?

    I think they have stopped for now and are using customer surveys instead. I wonder how long this will last though as customers are not going to look for / remember the type of information they wanted in their reports.

    Yeah, where are the chocs :-(
  • I wondered about the clients too...I had two assignments booked in for this week, and they have been cancelled due to the client changing their mind.

    Has anyone done the pizza one with the stupid photos requirements? What is the 3rd photo trying to prove?

    I recently changed my laptop and my all in one printer does not work with it. I will take photos of my receipt and explain this to the person that emailed me about the assignment. Done 2 or 3 shops were I took a photo of the receipt and explained the situation and it proved not a problem.

    I've wondered that, it is certainly a hassle. I get the impression though that the important part of this is assignment are the photos, the actual write up seems to be of secondary importance.
