ho hum I am really jarred off! did lots of jobs yesterday and now not getting paid for a GR phone one I am annoyed as store was terrible no badges or uniforms etc etc etc and I had to go in twice to actually be acknowledged and served. So anyhow trying to open the form to find out what I completed incorrectly as they think I did not follow the brief for closing the sale and I know I did

Yes, be very careful with GR jobs - they are getting very picky with reports - if you've done anything they deem to be even slightly outside their guidelines, they will not pay! :mad:

no pawn shops showing for me! partner is from this area and he says there arent any here so we must be posh i know there are some back home so hopefully will see some before I go and visit. Do you need set criteria for them and do they show up as retail? I know I cant see the bookies (boo hoo!) as Im not male

Not so with the bookies, Angel. I am a laaaady and I can see them this week (although this is the first time they've shown up for me)... maybe it's time to shave my legs:rotfl:

I'm in London, by the way.

Thought I'd just have a look at these, as hadn't noticed them before. Hope you noticed that they say the visit will last an hour! :eek: I don't think so, for that fee! Not even a purchase to be made. Still, they are paying mileage on these ones! :rolleyes:

Hi yeah i thought that too, i am waiting to read the brief...if it not up to much then will release, to be honest its 5 min walk from my house

Will let you know what it is about in the next few days. think angel also got one???

Pawn shops now on RE - think they're a regional firm, Yorks & surrounding areas

Edit: just read notes and it's for a straightforward purchase and refund this time - no pawning required!

I think there must be different scenarios - The assignment notes I just read do require pawning and returning after a few days to reclaim.....RE will refund the interest you have to pay which is a relief.

I'm a bloke and I can't see Pawn shops despite my area covering Yorkshire and beyond. But I'm sure I've seen them before, a long time ago. Very odd indeed. :rolleyes:

Oh thank you :TThat means I will keep a look out for them. I thought someone said they were for males only or is that for a different site? I have done tests for them at GAP and dont see them either rather annoying. In RE do they show up with a gambling logo like the casinos?

Up to now they were my favourite site but I really dont think I have done anything wrong apart from a typo somewhere (this is what happens if you do 8 reports in one go!). But the link wont let me check what was wrong with the report. I have used message centre to respond so I hope I hear something by Monday as I definitely do not want to ever make the same mistake again :rolleyes:

Yeah I applied for one as I am interested to know what they are and I guess once you are trained you can do the others. If its not suitable I will just cancel (if I am allowed to do it of course as who can ever tell ).

Yes, I can see one on there now but too far away for the fee. It's the same logo with the red dice.

I failed the test at Gap due to not quite realising how serious they were about passing the test or being cut off forever... Should probably have been more conscientious, I guess. :A
