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!

TBH, I doubt there's much you can do. I don't think they'll accept the job without the receipt. :-( Sorry!

Hi, sorry if I'm being annoying by asking questions - I just have 1 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?

They say you should, but in my opinion it's a waste of paper. Especially if you do 3 or 4 jobs which are all the same. I can see a reason why they might ask for the receipt or questionnaire at some point in the future, but can't see any reason they'd ask you to produce the briefing note - after all they wrote it!

In that case.. should I just release the job now? Or input the feedback anyway?
Sorry, I know it's probably been asked loads before!

can someone help me here? Im 16, and want to be a mystery shopper. I know some companies do allow for 16 year olds, but I would prefer to be paid in vouchers, not BACS (whatever that is i dont know lol). Anyone know of anywhere? I'd prefer to be pm'd... thanks

BACS stands for Bank Automated Credit System and just means you are paid into a bank account

You can open a Nationwide current account at 16 and whilst they probably won't give you full facilities, getting an account going with regular BACS payments in will get you a really good credit record and that in itself, is really good.

Evening peeps

Now I'm back in work (boo, hiss!!) I can't log on as much as I can during the day and I can't find the alerts thread in work. Is there a way I can get the alerts sent to my e-mails as I can access them on my mobile a lot easier. Also have I missed the phone shops with ABAi? TIA xx

You can get the forum to email you when a new post gets posted to the thread, but thats as far as it goes, all the email says is "there has been a new post" etc
Not sure if there is a mobile version of this site

And I personally haven't seen any alerts/emails for any jobs on ABAi, let alone phone jobs, and I've been at my computer all week

It got a bit crazy on RE though

EDIT: I thought in the back of my mind that these forums do have a mobile/PDA backend, and they do, put this in to your phone browser as a bookmark, its the Alerts thread mobile version:
