    How long do Bare take to mark reports please? I did 2 car jobs last Wednesday and have heard nothing from them yet.
    My car jobs from last week have all been marked now I think, but sometimes they take a bit longer, hopefully yours should be done soon.

    Mind you I've got a phone job from months ago that hasn't been marked yet, so who knows. That is unusual though.

    I got a mark changed yesterday, as I complained about the marker. Turns out they thought I hadn't shopped the right car but I had given them all the details that were in the brief, there were just 4 different cars all with these details. Now am feeling a bit guilty for making a fuss, and they will think I am difficult and not give me future work. Hope not as I generally like working for them, I was just upset at getting a low mark, this is my only job atm and getting good marks was making me feel that I'm not completely useless, so was cross.

    I've noticed that some shoppers say they have been marked down for spelling in their BARE reports (e.g. for writing the report English as requested, and not American).

    How do you know what the report has been marked down for, and when they've objected to your correct use of the English language?
  • I'm having a really blonde moment, could someone point my in the right direction to find out if I have given Bare my bank details? I have completed my first job with them and it has been marked (feel like i'm back in schools:rotfl:) so I think it should be paid on the 25th, however I cannot find the right place to check that I have actually given them my bank details:rotfl::rolleyes:

    TPA

    My Bare money arrived in my bank today. For those that were told for the car phone call jobs that they would only get half fee for the unsuccessful jobs , I even emailed and kind of prompted them about my 'failed' jobs but the payment today (and my job board) shows that I was paid full fee for all of them , very weird , it just seems unfair that some of you got paid less......

    I have recently joined ESA and have applied for several jobs. Any idea how long it takes to go from application to assigned?
    Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.

    RE jobs aren't graded as such. You get 10 points for completing them and an extra 2 if you complete them on time,

    But what about when the proof reader has to correct your report? You get points knocked off for so many errors

    HELP!!!!!!!!

    I just made the biggest boo boo. I've just done a drive through and forgotten to get a receipt. :doh:

    I still have 1hr 45 mins left in the window so I could go back and do it all again if needed but I wondered what would happen if I don't?

    I paid by card so it'll appear on my statement in a day or so, is that good enough?

    It's only my second job with GAP so I don't want to get a black mark against me for not completing an assignment but at the same time im so annoyed with myself!

    At the moment I'm £4.40 down with only a £4 fee so I'd be 2 meals up and 40p plus petrol down if I go back, but this really depends on the consequences of not providing a receipt.

    Have Gap changed their rules - I thought you were not allowed to pay by card as it added to the transaction time ? (I haven't done one for a while so may be way out of date).

    Poor you - can you go through with doing it all again (or would the meal just go to waste?). I cancelled a burger job ages ago (the whole timing thing flumuxed me and I forgot something, and might have even ordered incorrectly - so I just gave up, cancelled the job and put it down to experience. I have since managed to get some of the more sought after stamps jobs so it doesnt seem to have counted against me - someone with more experience with this company might know a bit more. I shouldnt lose any sleep over it though (and just think if you eat another meal you wont be able to sleep through indigestion)
