Just a quick query... anyone had GR payments go in yet? I'm hoping mine'll come through soon - bit of spending money for my holidays (camping in Wales!).

Hi, they pay on the 1st and 15th working day in the month, so the 15th working day this month is tomorrow (21st) it can take about 3 days from then, just double check your page on Grass roots and it will say when it has been paid.

Please note that for the new phone calls on RE you are required to be able to receive a phone call at a LANDLINE number during daytime hours Mon-Fri. Rules me out as I only have a mobile!

that explains why I can't see them then!

Hey all!
I had my New Shopper test graded on Tern and passed (yippee!) but it's still showing that my account is deactivated. Was just going to apply for a Bra Shop, but obviously - it won't let me.
Should you automatically be deactivated or should I email to ask to be activated?

You have to wait a few days for it to be activated - I waited a day or 2 then emailed them and they explained that it needs to be done by a manager so it takes a bit of time.

I've applied for a TERN Underwear shop...hopefully 4th time lucky!

I can't get these simply because I am too small in the chest area.
But their lingerie is so nice!

Anyone want to guess how long its going to take G*P to sack me.

I have just had a query about...wait for it.....a burger job! On...guess what..wait for it....yes timings! I timed it to the second as I always do. However I knew this would happen as they took a long time to serve me. It almost makes me want to make up the timings to suit, knowing then there would be no query! Whats the point in these jobs? The only thing I can think is if the company concerned ever gets complaints they can say, well 99.9% of our mystery shops always come out with glowing reports, so there cannot be a problem:rotfl:

Oh well i'm fed up of burgers anyway, however on a busy day of MSing they come in useful for lunch:rotfl:

Hope everyones having a better day than me.

Aww fab, thanks! I misread and though it said the 15th on the month, not the 15th working day. Oooh that'll be exciting then!

I emailed TERN in the end about getting my account activated, and they emailed me back within three hours saying my account had been activated! So I've applied to do 2 bra shops... not holding my breathe for either of them but it woudl be nice! Could do with getting fitted as I seem to have grown quite a lot these past few months. And no, don't think I'm pregnant. Fingers crossed - not the best time for me to be having a baby! I'm obviously just getting fatter! Nice...

It's a sizeable amount to me - but probably pitance to the hard core Mystery Shoppers out there! I think I'm waiting on about 6 jobs to be paid from them so I'm quite excited!

Not really much to say except that I really like your signature.

Hi

Has anyone done a morning chicken job? I asked for one of the breakfast meals and the bloke looked at me as if I was completely mad and I ended up getting a meal. I am worried now that they are no going to pay me now as I did not order an AM meal.
