I agree. The veggies are part of the recipe or optional. Right?

My Jewelry store audit was rejected as I didn't send photo of old application, however, they said they shred them as soon as new ones come in.....I let it go, trip was more important than an 11.00 job, but no more, thanks anyway.

I know, right? The survey asks: Did the Order Taker ask if you wanted condiments on your xxxxxxxx? And then it lists: ketchup, mustard, onions and pickle!!!!! Go figure!! And then in the instructions it had that bold stated NOT to order tomato, which I did!! Either way, however they want to call it, I goofed it up the first time, but got it right the second time, and it was all approved.

Groan !!!! I made a $92 mistake today. Had the breakfast buffet and paid for valet parking at the wrong hotel. The names are very similar and they are only 1 block apart. I got all of the timings and pictures and names and descriptions. I was even proud that I remembered how to get to the "hidden" entry for valet parking. Now I am waiting for the scheduler to grant my request to try again on a later date. Lesson: overconfidence is the nemesis of veteran shoppers.

What kind of people would deny you a tomato on a hamburger?

The kind that are paying you to do it their way, I guess, but still...

wales, my hat goes off to you for shopping in the city. There is a reason that I don't. I would make that mistake more often than not!

I think all of us at one time or another forget to do something, go to the wrong place or in general just goof up. We are all human.
I have had to revisit restaurants because I forgot to take pictures. So I spent $80 or so to have dinner. If you put into perspective, how many meals did you have that the company paid for. If you were not a shopper you would be going out to eat someplace and it would be on your dime, ( it might not be a $80 meai, but you might eat somewhere,
Chalk it up to experience.

Great reads! Thanks for all of this, because we ALL make mistakes!

Wales...your due a mistake, but to make you feel better today, I left my purse/wallet at Sprouts, I race back knowing my new Michael Kors with everything in it (credit cards, license, money) would be gone. They had it,
nothing was missing, I felt so thankful.....mistakes happen for a reason, for me, it's not to rush and be more aware and to show us we're only human.

I'm sorry.

And, of course, I had to apologize deeply to the scheduler for this, especially since every one of them is under the gun to get every shop completed by 12/24. It was easier for me to figure out how to replace the "lost" funds than to admit to a scheduler what I had done and ask for a reschedule.

Been shopping since 2010 and couple of months ago, I was not only at the wrong location, I was AT THE WRONG BANK, and never even realized it until I was completely done with the shop! Was supposed to be at Pen Air; I was at Gulf Winds. "Air" - "Winds" -- guess my subconscious brain thought they were interchangeable. I do give myself credit for at least being on the right street, however!
