Can I just jump in with a quick question...

Does anyone know if you can take children on a stamp shop job?

Thanks!

Yes, you're fine, although i wouldn't specifically mention it on the report, obviously. It doesn't say no kids in the instructions.

Hee hee. I just love going into shops ordering a martini shaken not stirred and saying "Names Bond, James Bond"

Funny I did 4 MS's today all with vastly different scenarios and got to thinking maybe I should have gone to drama school. Because basically it is what we do...play a role.

I love the ones I have done where I have to reveal myself at the end as a MS'er. I was a bit nervous about it at first but I loved it when their jaw dropped and they said I was nothing like they imagined a MS'er would be.

I'm doing the silly TNS DIY shop today and see I have to return an item BUT keep the receipt to send off. Now normally they keep the receipt when you get a refund so how do I get to keep it. I thought I might buy 2 items and return only one, what does anyone think?

Timmne · 7 August 2008 at 6:27AM

Is there any way you can nip outside and take a photo (clear one!) of the receipt, just in case they keep it?

TBH it would be good if they kept the receipt (as long as you had a copy) because it'd teach TNS to not give such a silly brief!

I'd be interested to know how you get on pammy - please fill us in later with how it went!

No, the receptionist at my gym is a skunkbag. First time I went she had her tongue down a gym consulstants mouth in the lounge area. Since then I have seen her playing tongue tennis with another 2 gym instructors. I think it's free for all. LOL. *** I don't think STAMPS went on in all areas. I was on when they went on, and there was nothing on in my local areas. I have a feeling more will be added on this week. They tend to put 2 batches of about 500 on. *** Have a funny feeling PETROL will be going on sometime this week too. They have some information put on in the JOB SEARCH noticeboard thing. *** I can't believe people actually do the DIY shops on TNS. It's like slave labour. I used to do them, but for that pay, it's pathetic. In my area, no one picks them and then they have beg, and I still say no! Ha Ha Ha!
