Sick of looking at chiller cabinets of drinks - yippee, tomorrow is my last day. Seems you get a truck load of the same type of jobs and then nothing at all. The wonders of MS and audit work,,,

Is this for RA?

Thanks. I tried that an all the others I had an it wasn't deliverable. I suspect it may be my evil ISP's problem.

Indeed - this was back to back with the ESA round of drinks audits. So spent the last couple of weeks looking at chiller cabinets. ESA was the better gig IMHO as you could pick your locations and had the advantage of their app , whereas the RA version was over a very large patch of 3 counties, so you needed to plan the visits to make it cost effective. When I did RA in the first quarter this year, they were more local to where I lived.

I'm sure someone sitting in the RA office thought the circuits were local but in reality.... However knowing what they are about, this time I reckon I have done the runs in a much more cost effective manner.

It may have been the client who put the runs together - Amongst this round were some I did last time and cant see why they are sending me back, unless they have sent someone in to promote their product and looking to assess what impact they have had on that shop. Bloody miles away and need a special trip out to cover them. Do agree you learn from the first round and become very economic on your approach to getting them done.

Mic. Two jobs and it started to go part way through the first job. Moral of the story, replay check the last file of the visit, not the first one... Guess which one I checked.

intermittant mic error.... let me guess
a BU13 camera/mic set up

I was lucky and some of my RA and ESA visits I could use the same stores. The rest I think I lucked out this time as they were all easy to plan, four distinct areas meant I could do four nice little runs. I have one outlying store that is a bit of a drive away that I need to do tomorrow, gonna see if anyone else has something close I can do at the same time.
