    It's so gratifying to see the box disappear :D

    I remember a load of train ones I did for them last year - the report went:

    Yep (no comment), Yep (no comment), Yep (no comment), Yep (no comment), Yep (no comment), Yep (no comment), Done :D

    So it must mean that GAPburger places know that the MSer is coming on Xday between XXam and XXpm - so when someone does ask for a receipt, they turn on the cabaret. Someone asking for a receipt 10 minutes before or after the slot will not get the treatment....

    What a mess!

    they only do the ms between certain times of the day don't they? so it probably gives them a clue. i haven't seen any jobs for after 7pm.

    they will have a rough idea of when they are expecting a shopper so will be on their best behaviour around those times.

    I agree - the best thing about them is their interactive reporting, IMO. If the question says "did they smile, if not, what did they do" and you select "yes", then the comments field disappears! Having said that, I don't think GFK actually ask silly questions so they wouldn't expect a comment on that I guess...

    Yep , their reporting is pretty straightforward , GR too. Fair fees, nice jobs , manageable reporting - who could ask for more... :rotfl::T:rotfl:

    It's a fair cop guv.

    I have both threads open, and I wrote it into the wrong window. Then spoke with a colleague for a bit, then refreshed the "chat2 window and my post wasn't there, then the penny dropped.

    At least it was a "sort of alert" and not totally random rumblings! AND I realised my mistake, AND....oh sod it, I'll stop digging...

    The hunter has been hunted :j:D;)

    I totally agree about GFK. THey seem great, their fees are great, and they don't ask STUPID questions and then hassle you about them afterwards. I've only been MSing for a month and there is already one company that I kind of regret signing up with...
