I know we're supposed to be, the vast majority of the time, completely objective in writing narratives, and I am. But I recently did a shop for which the report specifically asked for my opinion on how the location and the service compared to other similar experiences I've had in real life. There was some subjectivity required in order to make that comparison, and I also felt I needed to be somewhat specific (not as far as naming competitors, but comparing staff and facility). I definitely didn't give a "this was a palace compared to other such facilities" or "it's a pig sty" type of comment!
When I got my review, the editor said not to compare any shop experience to any past experiences and not to give opinions. Huh?
The shop was accepted, but I was left scratching my head. "Give us your opinion and a comparison to other similar experiences." But we really don't want you to. LOL. Anybody run into this?
I learn something new every day, but not everyday!
I've learned to never trust spell-check or my phone's auto-fill feature.
