With some of the RE they ask you to tell them if you're not going to be able to submit the report in 24hrs, not sure about others though.

just done my 2nd TNS supermarket job and I am really enjoying these as long as I follow my own notes and not what they give you! First store this morning were good thank goodness so I was able to do a decent report. My local store was useless (ive had to do two audits there for someone else and not passed them either) and apart from cashier no other members of staff so very short report - oh and I had to comment on a member of staff I saw asleep :eek:

btw HUGE thanks to ruthiejane for her pm's to help me work out what to do for these assignments - without that help Id still not have a clue what I needed to do:beer::T:T:T

I've not done any work for Assosia, but I would usually expect the invoice date to be the date on which it was created, e.g. today's date.

If anyone has done the flights for Bare, do you know if the fee is paid for both flights, or just 1? e.g. if it says £10 then will I just get £10, or will I get £20? Thanks.

I did the Los Angeles flight and got paid for each way.

If you did it for them at short notice and had expenses to get to the airport then they are willing to negotiate a bit extra for that (only if you did it at short notice though)

Even if you didn't there is no harm in trying is there?

Good luck to you mate

PS don't forget to keep your boarding passes for your tax returns

Interesting to know. Thanks.

There's some leeway-so most companies will give you a day or two after you arrive-but wouldn't agree to a week or two for report submissions.
I got 48 hours as my flights were over 12 hours anyway.

Yes well; the main thing is to get paid, I just don't like being called a liar.
I have NEVER not been paid in all of my years as a MSE (that's Mystery Shopping Expert! :rotfl:)

Evening all. I have a question about GAP coffee jobs, they talk about supplying certain equipment/measuring devices etc. but haven't mentioned sending them out to me, I've accepted a job for this Sunday and obviously I need that equipment asap if I'm going to be able to complete it. Any help would be much appreciated!

I must say, having now done a fair few supermarket jobs, they aren't too bad ..nothing like as complicated as they first seem once you know what you're doing! I find writing my own checklist helps. Doing one tomorrow, at a big new store, looking forward to it - although I'm wonering if I'm slightly mad to be doing it on a Friday morning!!!
