Hi everyone hope you are all having a good day!

Have a small query, i have just done a shop with Bare, but i had called them this morning to say i think the actual shop has closed down now, but will go and take a photo as proof, which was fine, and i was correct it was.

Thing is i have never came across this before with them and have uploaded the photos with a few comments about it on the comments box but i can't submit as there are loads of answers missing. obviously ones i cant answer as it relates to the actual visit, i have just called them and they are now closed, i have sent an email to the person who allocates the visits, but not sure what to do now, as i know it says you have to submit the report within 24 hours..

(P.s Not getting the whole fee for it but 50% which isn't bad. :rolleyes:)

I've had this for a few phone shops too. They asked me to complete the questionnaire, so I did and just put 'Shop was closed' in all the comments boxes. I selected 'Other' for recommendations I think. Hope that helps.

Thanks, have sent them an email, so will give it an hour or so then do that.

Thanks again, much appreciated!!

I shopped a phone shop for Gap today and I was supposed to get a business card, but the salesman just wrote his name and the shops telephone number on the leaflet he gave me. He was very disinterested all the way through the shop, and when I asked for a card he said they didnt have any. Will Gap penalise me for this, and if you get a card do you have to send it in?
Many thanks in advance.

Scan in the leaflet with his name on, as you'd normaly scan in a receipt, then simply upload it at the end of the webexpress bit.

Got my first petrol job with ABAi today, just so I know before I do it (and apologies if it's been asked before) is it possible to see the questionnaire before I go? All I have are the briefing notes from the email. Thanks guys

Don't worry Nath, The questionnaire has at least 1 million pages or that is how it seems to me. The hardest bit is how to describe the toilet in no less than 250 words.
They are the least paid jobs for the writting involved.

What are you on about? I think they're the easiest!!! You get £** for each of the petrol stations which includes free petrol so all in all it's £** for an half hour jobby. In my last 3 (or 6 as they were ones where you have to visit the competitor also) there weren't even any questions about the toilet on the report. So after I submitted one, I didn't bother visiting the other toilets as not on the report.
I think the hardest jobs are the ones where you have to get into conversation with a staff member and yap yap yap about computers or phones or whatever. These petrol jobs are easy peasy...bring them on!

What is going on with GfK? I haven't been able to access the site all day.

GFK is down for people using AOL.

finally got my login details for TNS...yay!!
can some1 tell me please , how often are jobs updated?
ta!!

As often as they feel like it. The fast pizza and quick supermarket jobs usually come up about once a month. You just have to keep an eye out, there's no specific date.

Is that the one where you have to access the coffee shop in the retail outlet attached to the petrol station? Where you have to spend £5 and you only get £10 reimbursement? I've only done one of those. Absolute rubbish! Will never do one again.

So glad everyone around me uses AOL as I was wondering how I managed to nab 5 GfK jobs in the same shopping centre all on the same day!
