    Is that the pet shop they are bragging about on the home page. Do you need to take your dog with you. I have 2 Cairn terriers. 1 of them got barred from my local PAH.

    id be interested in doing one of these so do we have to add something different to our profiles? so i am looking forward to store work as we buy all the dog things from there and if i could take the pup with me that would be an extra bonus as hed think it was his birthday if he got different things than normal :j

    as for dogs mine likes going there for treats but never again would we use the vets - he had to be muzzled and they told me i had a vicious dog and i had to give him the meds myself :eek: i thought i was going to bawl my eyes out as it was that bad :(
    then (he is sweet natured and loves people) he rushed out and was getting head rubs and belly rubs from all the dog loving customers - vicious dog my !!!!! :mad: he is now terrified of vets!! oh and on top of that we were overcharged!

    What did they say when you called them?

    EDIT: Does it still show your status as "probationary"? I think it takes a week or two for it to change.

    that my screen says no active jobs as i do not have any. but when they log in it states i still have a job (which was the one i did on sat) and that I need to wait till Thursday and try again then :( so annoying when theres 3 jobs i could suddenly do near me and Im not even allowed to take one of them :(

    yes i am still probationary but i dont have any active jobs so should be able to do at least 1 not none!

    my payment section states pending so i guess they just havent looked at what ive done but saturday to tuesday seems a very long time!

    What a day!

    3 jobs booked today, 2 travel agents and a bank.

    Went to the bank this morning, followed the brief etc. Advised that I couldnt open an account due to no appointments being available, so I have to go back next Tuesday. The brief actually wants you to open the account and then you can close it when project is finished, or keep it open and do more customer assignments for that bank.
    So I leave, and go to the 2 travel agents.

    1st travel agents goes OK, 2nd travel agents I ended up in the wrong shop, so sat there for 15 minutes for nothing!! :mad::mad:

    Found the right travel agents and did the shop, I think the manager suspected me of being a shopper (I didnt make it obvious or anything) and she was hovering over the sales assistant. Kept banging on about opening a credit card with the brand and then you can get cashback from your holiday booking and all that.
    The computer system crashed, and at one stage there were 4 assistants and the manager all running around with brochures and telephoning head office to get prices whilst trying to reboot their computer systems, was very funny to watch.

    Then, get home and get a call from GR. Another shopper went to the wrong branch of the bank, and therefore my assignment has now moved to the other bank branch, so I wasted my time this morning. But they did say that they would pay me extra for the wasted trip, so they are paying £45 plus whatever they class as payment for a "wasted trip", which is why I love working with GR!

    Ok, down the left where it says payments due, is there any amounts in there anywhere?

    If it says 0 active jobs, that indicates that you've completed the job, so either you'd have 1 payment pending (meaning that they've still not authorised/proofread your report). If you don't have a payment pending, then it should show as a payment due.

    If it's none of these then either:

    1. their site if sha*ged or
    2. you've not completed the job and they've re-allocated it.

    My money is on option 1...

    Hi, can anyone help me. I must have been away when the phones started on Abai. I have all the other clients but how do I get the phone one? Thanks
    Hi

    I haven't got any phone shops on my Abai list. How do we put the store on our lists. Is there a list of Abai clients that we can add?:confused:

    Hello! :j

    You can add clients onto ABA-i by doing the following:

    Go to the web address: http://www.aba-i.co.uk/nl/*CLIENT NAME HERE*/

    The client name for the phone shop is a mixture of red and yellow. And the slogan is "The futures bright"

    Hello everyone. I'm new to MS. I started this week, and went to my 2nd job today, at a chicken fast food restaurant for Gap. I'm trying to complete the report, but they want a store number and telephone number. I couldn't see this anywhere on the signs etc, and it's not on my receipt. I've googled the chain, and they just have address details. Are you able to help?
