And there was me thinkinf "Andy" was short, in your case, for Andrew.

I got it wrong Andrea, sorry!

p.s did you bag any of the Sandwich jobs in your area? I got a couple as I'll be in your neck of the woods early July.

Andy is short for Andrew. I thought (hope!) that he was talking about someone else!! :rotfl:

Re the Sandwich jobs (ooops you mentioned the client name!) I did get a couple but I did quite a few of them last month, so not allowed to do them again. What I want to know is who took all the phone shops? I think they're one of the easiest of the lot.

I managed to nab 5. Missed out on 3 GR jobs by about 2 minutes tho! I checked the site and there were none, 2 mins later they had been posted and nabbed already :rolleyes:

also gap keep emailing me to do the coffee jobs but I dont have the equipment yet!!:cool:

Grrr, just tried to pick up a couple of sandwich shops on Gap, and I'm confused at to what "You cannot shop the same site twice in a row, regardless of the month" means...

I thought it meant, as long as you shopped another store inbetween, you could shop the same site twice. So here's my situation:

In mid-June I shopped SITE A, and I've just booked one for 1st July for SITE B. Now I'm trying to book SITE A again for 4th July - but it's saying I can't because I can't shop the site twice in a row.

BUT THERES A DIFFERENT SHOP INBETWEEN!?

I don't get it... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It means that the shop has to be MSed by someone else.

You can't shop the same site twice in a row, it has to be you, then someone else, before you can do the same shop again, regardless of the month.

I think it needs there to have been another person who mystery shopped it in the interim. So you need to have psychic powers to know if someone else has been there.

Ahhhhhh I asked the same thing a while back! Apparantly another shopper has to shop that site before you can do it again.


oops sorry was sending reply same times as others!!

Awww okay, that makes a lot more sense. Well at least I managed to pick up one to do at work on my lunch break next week!

Missed any uploads onto RE, gutted. All I seem to be seeing at the moment is Airside Airport jobs!

Can anyone help? I did a call for RE yesterday and they sent me an email today to say it's ready for listening to, but I can't find it anywhere, I think previously they have attached it to the email, but there's no attachment? Have they changed it?
I've logged in to complete the questionaire, but nothing there either.

Whoops found it now sorry!

HIya people
Today has been a bad day - the first time I have messed up a shop.
It was a posh sarnie one for RE... I forgot to get a receipt. What do I do?
I got everything else to prove I was there - photo, name of server etc. What's the best thing to do?
I've never done this before it was just so hot at that point and my mind went!

Hi, sorry if I'm being annoying by asking questions - I just have 2 more!

I'm a little confused as to what I am required to print out and keep.

Do I need to file the briefing notes? At the moment for my jobs tomorrow I have just printed out the questionnaire and I am only planning on filing that, together with the receipt from the relevant job stapled to it. Is that sufficient for RE, GAP and GFK?

Secondly, when you are doing the spreadsheet/your taxes - do you count mileage if you're not driving? For example, I have a weekly travelcard that I use to get to my regular job anyway, so it doesn't cost me anything extra (except for time) to go to the mystery shops. So I'm inclined not to put anything down for mileage?
