At the end of the shop I was referred to a staff member who would be in subsequently. The editor bounced the report and wanted the name of that person added. Has anyone else been forced to insert names of persons with whom they did not interact during a shop?
If I were referred to a staff member, whether I interacted with that person or not, I would have included his name. Being specifically referred to someone seems very relevant to the shop to me. For example, if I asked for something and was told "John says that is not possible," but I did not interact with John, only the person repeating John's words to me, I would have included John's name. Or, if I was told that Sally would have to help me with something, but Sally then never arrived to help me, I would have included Sally's name.
You might try calling the hotel and relating that this person was referred to you but did not arrive before you left and ask the name, stating you plan to contact him about .....
Have you just told the editor that, although the person was referred to you, you did not write the name down and you do not remember it?
