I have an OC supermarket job, (my first) can anyone tell me, on the stock check list, do I have to look for everthing? there's about 100 items!
:eek::eek::eek:

TIA!

Only 100? You should have either 200 (for the client) or 50 (for the comparitor). Yes, it really is 200 items - this is a nightmare job which took me over 3 hours, the last time I did it..........:cool:

Help! I just did a burger job for gap and it wasn't open, even though the job notes said to complete the visit between 5 and 7 and the website for the store said it was open until 6. I went at 5:45. I would have gone earlier but I was at work all day and this the earliest I could get there.... What do I do???????

I have regularly thought that a little more transparency re expected duration of jobs would be reasonable at the apply stage...(for all companies, that is, not just OC)

I actually like the new layout of the RE site but wished they hadn't changed the search facility. I used to find odd jobs on one postcode that never appeared on another even though the postcodes are within 15 miles of each other and I had set my radius at 20.
Now I only seem to see jobs near one postcode and ignoring all others (despite sdaying it can do up to 10)

I think they take a day to update your designated areas, mtem, could that explain it?

I've had this several times with my local GAP coffee place who seem to regularly change their opening and closing times without telling head office. I've been paid for every wasted trip (extra milage, and bonus fee for doing the job but not the reimbursement) and usually been asked to do the job again, for the same extra fee again.

RE have just put up pub jobs with a £2.50 fee and no purchase though you do need to visit the pub.

They are getting worse and worse.

hi Paul, hi folks, interesting view, that - I am starting to feel like it's not worth doing anymore. But maybe that's just overkill cos I've got 7 jobs tomorrow and 4 on Sun and 4 on Mon and I did 4 yesterday.

I think I'm starting to feel like I won't actively look for jobs but will take only those that suit my plans and then hopefully at the last minute so that there are premiums. I realise that at some point I may be binned by various companies but I'm just not sure I'm willing to work so hard for bottom dollar any more. (sob)
