Mystery Shopping - G.B - missing?

Has anyone noticed that G.B don't seem to have many "big shopping chain with their logo name in red" assignments?

I usually do a lot of these (some months up to 8) but lately (have been checking twice a day for the last month) but there doesn't seem to be many up at all.

Are they slowly phasing this shopping chain out? Shame, they were my favourite assignments!

    Aha... ok it's Gapbuster - GB. I am referring to a chain of supermarkets, four letters, logo is their name in red, green tree logo. Not huge chain (like Tesco) more your corner store variety. Sorry to be ambiguous!

    I thought they were still doing these - I did around 6 last month. However, they appear to be keeping these to use as bribes (like they do the petrol ones!) as they are having more and more difficulty shifting their junk food jobs! Darn good reason for why if you ask me - proper expenses re-imbursement and no daft restrictions like you can't even sit at the same table as a mate would solve that!

    Exactly what I was thinking re bribe & agree re daft restrictions! I mean, it's just so obvious otherwise!
