I do also have a questions for those who use Retail Eyes? I've had a few assignments that have become available for me, but none of them have been local! A couple have been about 30 miles away, which I may have been able to get to on a good day. However I keep getting one this morning for a pub in Doncaster which is a whopping 200 miles away!!

Are you registered as doing business calls for them? I am and ever since, I can see jobs at airports all over the country. If you deselect airport jobs, they usually disappear.

My second question is about having to do drive through fast food jobs alone and really whether you have to be alone or not? I've got a breakfast booked that I was going to do on the way to work but I car share so wondered whether this would stop me getting paid?! If need be I can just drop my passenger off in the car park and pick him up after but I wanted to check if anyone checks whether you're alone or not?

They can check CCTV and your report will not be valid if you have others in the car. It's fine to drop someone off out though and pick them up again afterwards.

I've kicked my boys out of the car across the car park, and they've gone in and bought their food while I've done the drive through alone

Has anyone done an office canteen job for Gfk before?? I have to report to reception and be escorted to the canteen to do the shop.

It sounds like quite an unusual job...can I presume that the person that escorts me knows who I am and what I'm doing??

I've done these. The catering is run by an external company so the receptionist doesn't work for them. Check where you are going first to make sure you will blend in. I got sent to a college and the allocator said to wear something studenty, so I went in jeans and t-shirt. When I got there, it was in the automotive college so I had my lunch among a load of 16-18 year old boys. Didn't really blend in at all there :rolleyes:

I'm not being grumpy, I'm just saying that I'd find it quite insulting.

However, if there was a "nice fat fee" then I may not feel quite so insulted...!

Forgiveness is..................a nice fat fee (and no report to write)

Does anyone know when the company that should not be named pays and how does it work, do I need to invoice them or something.
