OP:
I have a couple of observations.
1. I fully understand why the visit was rejected the first time: You stated that the requirements were that you sit at the bar and you sat at a table. Especially if bar integrity is a part of the audit, this would be an automatic rejection of the shop. You cannot change the guidelines if you find them inconvenient. If the bar is full, you leave and come back later - or you wait if possible/reasonable.
2. I recognize that we are on a social media site and it is perfectly acceptable to not use perfect grammar here. However, if the MSC is complaining about your "writing style," I have to make this observation: Your grammar and syntax in your post is very rough - to the point that it is difficult to understand what you are saying. If you wrote something like this for a narrative-heavy report, almost any MSC is going to reject it - especially if you are describing something as serious as theft. I am assuming that your writing for the report was more clear than your post, but, since you said that MSC did not like your "writing style," this seemed relevant.
3. Every MSC has different expectations and requirements. Some are very strict about writing style and formatting. Others are not. It sounds like this MSC tried to help you to conform to what they wanted, but, for whatever reason, you could not get onto the same page as them. It sounds like you and this MSC are simply not a fit. There is not shame in that: Anybody who has been shopping for a while has run into MSC's with which they don't work real well.
It does stink that you did the visit twice and are out the money (and time!!) for each meal. I'm just glad that you are able to afford it.

Bob's comment--I well realize each individual's personal interpretation can be predicated upon their personality, but, after reading MFJ's post, it is, in my opinion, concise, considerate and, most importantly, accurate. Folks, this is business! A bar assignment is exactly what it states. I complete several of these shops each month and either arrive early or late, but should I ever be faced with a full bar, my choices are to flake, wait or leave and return. As to syntax, I also was unable to understand the OP.
Work that requires extensive narrative is not for everyone. As an example, I tried fine dining in the last decade and quickly decided the time necessary to report the job far exceeded my reward. As I do not enjoy fast food, I am a shopper of casual dining and that works quite well for me.

It does have kind of a whiny tone to it, but shoptastic liked to attack those who had posted in response to her posts. The spicy modus operandi has always been to cruise the forum and attack posters for their responses to others, calling them bullies. These seem to be very spicy posts.
