  • Hi - need some advice please!

    I have MS on Sunday with RE and its a pub meal. It says to order two meals and at least 1 sweet.

    I was hoping that me and DH and 2 kids could go out together for this meal - do you think it would be ok? Or does it just need to be 2 people?

    I am new too, but I did a similar job for RE a few weeks ago and took the 2 kids with us (they are 2 and 1 so didn't eat much!). I could still do the job and we enjoyed it.

    unless is says specifically " no children" or "couples only" I should imagine it will be ok :)

    lots of new foodie ones been added to TNS :D
  • My kids are 14 and 16 so they shouldnt be any problem!! Think I will chance it as doesnt actually specify number of people just 2 meals and a sweet. Its my DD birthday so thought it would be cheap way of celebrating!!

    The main things to remember is
    1. ask for a reciept for everything always
    2. Always take note what is on the left and right of the place you visit
    and 3.Always get the person serving you's name if has a badge or description

    I've done RE pub jobs and taken DS with us (he's only 3). It's the TNS ones that mostly specify 'no children'. :( The RE ones usually don't (although some do - always check the brief ;))

    done 3 of my MS today and had my hair cut into a new style, 4 more to go as I'm ditching a mortgage one because I can't be bothered to read 18 pages on instructions and 17 pages of questionnaire!

    Do the questionnaire annoy any of you? RE's annoy me because they ask yuo to full explain.comment on your answer and if you've answered yes then you are just repeating the question in a different way i.e.

    Was the till area clean and tidy? (please comment on your answer fully)
    Yes
    No
    I answer Yes, so then have to say, "There was no visible mess on or around the till area" :confused: :mad:

    I know i must admit that the questionaire a massive for retail eyes and do ask you to comment on stupid things.
    You should try gapbuster . The questionaire for a free burger and fries from a well known american burger place was definately not worth the absoloute masses of questions that i needed to answer.It was rediculous ! Ill never do that one again.
