Hi, I asked and was told that I could not use the 2 for 1 vouchers.

Yes but if I were to act dumb and not ask the area manager and just go ahead and use it, they would still have to pay me as it doesn't say anywhere in the brief that I can't use one! I can't see how they would have a leg to stand on in withholding payment.

Anyone?

Makes sense as long as you are prepared for the possibility of them disputing it. Do you have to send in your receipt as you usually do with TNS?

I have often wondered about things that are omitted from assignment notes... for example the pizza jobs on Gap always used to specify things like do not order half and half and do not order pineapple. The notes don't say that anymore, but when I emailed to check I was told you still can't order these things. I do wonder what would happen if a new shopper who doesn't remember the old notes just went ahead and ordered one of these items.

Hi all,

I'm a regular here posting under an AE - I need some (random) help please!

It's about an italian american job I did for RE last summer; I need to ask a question please, to anyone who did this job around that time and still has their job brief...

Hopefully you can help!!

Edit to add - if you can help, could you PM me please?

omg, has anyone seen the toy job on RE?!

Do you think someoe could do all of them?! WOW!

I did this assignment last year. I tried to be greedy and book two floors, but they only allow one floor per shopper. I got the Ground Floor, which, in my opinion, was the worst one. No fee, and a toy that would cost 1/4 of the price down the market :rolleyes:

Does it? Where exactly??? Only I've read and re-read mine over the last couple of months and it has never said a word about that... unless I'm going blind.

on fast pizza, if it says visit between 7.30 and 9pm do you have to leave by 9 or can you turn up at say, 8.30??

I have done 2 pizza assignments recently and ordered half and half each time. I double-checked that it did not forbid this before I went, and have not had any negative feedback from them yet. They were both over a fortnight ago, and are showing as Approved, so I think the information that you were given is incorrect. I hope so anyhow.
