Drinks are up, jentodd. I'm having a Bailey's & coffee 'cause it's still early in CA.
Last order of business is reworking the forum tagline. Should it be:
A-"MysteryShopForum, a community of shoppers helping (honest) shoppers"
B-"MysteryShopForum, a community of shoppers mostly helping and sometimes fighting other shoppers"
C-"MysteryShopForum, a community of shoppers helping shoppers, plus an occasional scheduler or editor"
D-"MysteryShopForum: Take a seat, pour yourself a drink and let your gripes fly!"
Personally, I like 'D'

Hmm, I'm going to put my vote in for B! I'm all fisticuffs today! <3

I would also be happy to have drink with you. I also encourage diversity. 
My vote is for D. I was supposed to have Eggs Benedict and Mimosas for breakfast before going to the zoo and then spending the afternoon at the pool. Since those plans went to hell in a hand basket for the second day in a row, it may be time to add some Kahlua (make that a lot of Kahlua) to my coffee. Steve, what would I do without you

Steve, to share is to care. Please pass the bottle of Bailey's - it's mid-afternoon in Montreal. No milk/coffee needed, I've already got ice in my glass 
Oh, yeah, I vote D.
Cheers - A votre santé!

Well, it's happened yet again. I go out to lunch and come back to find that everyone is out at the bar with Steve. Lisa, did you bring that nice little red? Don't mind if I do!

I've always got a glass or three with your name on it

Hah! That's me smiling from ear to ear!
Can I know what are the solid evidence Vs. Secret Shopping Services, Freeman, Goodwin and all the other ones mentioned in here. Mind, I am not saying AA is not lying, but we cannot say is not right.
We all are saying that poor J. is ruined. Why, aren't those company we name in here ruined as well? I don't shop with them because I have seen bad comments in here and I don't want to risk. But I haven't seen picture of evidence either in this forum.
I don't know here in the USA, but I am sure it works close to the way it works in my country. There a company is called "legal person" because it is created and starts having the rights of a person (plus more and plus more duties LOL).
What I mean is that you ruin J. by using her name in that way, but you ruin the name of a company just as well when you throw dirt against them.
So just like you have the right to warn us against a company that did wrong to you, AA has the right to warn the other companies about a bad shopper. And honestly a description of the person wouldn't have worked very well.
The only thing I blame AA of, is not giving more time before blowing off. But on the other hand I understand them. A $1000 vacation must have been well known by her family where it came from.

Ok, I vote "D." But I am having a Virgin Caesar with lots of celery and olive garnish because I really don't know what is what. "Cheers!"

SSS, Freeman and Goodwin, like some other MSCs, have multiple shoppers complaining about unethical and questionable practices on multiple forums. Freeman issued a letter admitting to issues and its MSPA membership has been suspended.
In some cases, even schedulers have chimed in, albeit usually to deny they made things worse or to claim they actually helped shoppers.
Most MSCs (and definitely SSS, Freeman and Goodwin) have access to most of the forums in question, as evidenced by past postings. They may, if they wish, defend themselves.
The silence is deafening.

BusyBee, thank you. I addressed that on page 1 and didn't really want to post the same thing twice Where is my wine glass?

Busy - why don't you drink? Is it your goal in life to be a re-poster, or a designated driver? What is your secret for handling really crunchy life situations? I must know these answers before I can go on.

I don't drink, either, Busy! We'll be DDs together! =DD
Okay, is that four more votes for D?

I drink sometimes, usually on shops. I rarely enjoy the taste of an alcoholic drink and I'm a lightweight when it comes to drinking. My face gets red and I can feel the alcohol after only a few sips. I also worry about losing control and hurting myself. I'm a klutz even when I am 100% sober.
My "drug" is food. That's why I'm obese. =(
Throw me some bloody red meat or nicely cooked chicken, along with lots and lots of carbs (so bad for me 'cos I'm diabetic) and I can handle most life situations. One of my favorite meals is a very rare steak and mashed potatoes or a baked potatoes soaked in the blood from the steak. Yes, in the rare instances when I'm dining with someone and having that special treat, I often have to hide what I'm doing 'cos my dining companions have turned pale or green looking at the bloody potatoes. =D

OK, thank you for explaining why you don't drink. I don't want to hurt your feelings, Busy, but I'm pretty sure I can suggest an improvement to your potato recipe that you could eat in public without gagging your companions. However, I wouldn't want to irritate a fellow member in the @#$%& Club, or at least not much (not at one time, anyway) because I'm not sure I could handle the fallout. You never know what's coming down after you hack off a @#$%& Club @#$%&.

Suggest away, please.
Hey so are we officially dropping the "Judgmental" from the name of the Club? May as well just go for the oh-so-hip "BC" then, so not to discriminate against our brethren.

Well, I don't know, Busy, let's chat about it. I like the sound of @#$%& Club. It sounds so solid, so real, so alive, so loud, so appropriate, and of course, so judgmental.
If Jacob gets onto us for foul language we could refer to ourselves on the forum as Bs. Are you old enough to remember that show, Designing Women? Dixie Carter played a character who asked another character, "Where are you from?" This person replied haughtily, "I'm from a place where we don't end a question with a preposition." To which Dixie replied, "Well, let me rephrase that properly. Where are you from, B?"
All you Bs out there - Ideas? Feedback? Suggestions?
