Does anyone have a contact phone number for GFK?

They called me lsat week to get me to do an assignment today, but they haven't sent me any details! It's not even on my account.

So I've emailed them via the site, but still no joy - I don't want them to blacklist me for not doing an assignment when I don't know what it entails!

Not sure who exactly that will get you through to at GFK, but hope it helps!

afternoon all, came on here to see how everyone is, and see whats being discussed, I'm going to put in my 2p's worth/rant about RE.
1. reduced/terrible fee for a few drinks in a pub and 70 odd question. Hint hint - thats why 50 jobs are still not taken.
2. whats this new thing of emailing asking if you are going to do the job. ER YES, if I wasn't going to do it, I would release it. I kind of understand why they do this, but its unfair especially when they put a deadline saying if you do not respond by so and so time they will release it for it. Lucky for me, I am sad enough to check my email daily.

love the letter to GYP.

Stupid burger questionnaire! If I click No to the drive through speaker being clean etc, and click that it was't working, it says that is a contradictory response.

If I click yes, it says that that is a contrdictory response.

Maybe they don't believe they ever break?

Speaking of the burger flipper jobs before - in their first day of training they are told about gap and they know the times of visits and everything - it is a really hot topic of conversation for them and creates constant paranoia - they think everyone is MS ing. I know someone who recently started there and she was telling me all about it - quite funny really. Although, I don't think it is fair to say they only give a good service when they know who you are - could be slight paranoia on the shoppers part maybe because the girl tells me that they think at least 10 shoppers per shift could be MSers but only have in actual fact 2 a month. This is their chance to earn a bit of extra cash too remember - seems to me some people forget that on here and get a bit nasty.
Just my opinion.

I hope you're not accusing me of being nasty towards to the burger workers?

Of course it's good for them to receive a bonus if they get a good Gyp report. They're not on very good pay, so fair play to them. My point is, it's a waste of the burger chain's money to MShop their outlets but tell the outlets when to expect the MSer. It's a joke.

No not you - it is a complete waste of time if they know what to do because doesn't give an accurate picture. Was speaking about the person a few pages ago who said they cancelled the job after doing it because he thought he had been recognised and the flipper was falling over herself to be accommodating. Just think it is not really her fault that it is drummed into her what to expect and seems a bit off to go cancelling when she has tried her best to do the job right. Maybe its just me.

But I think you are right - it should be possible to be subtle when doing the job or it is hardly worth doing because it becomes a charade. PS - you should anonymously post your letter therefore avoiding punishment! haha. No offence meant, just chattering on!

OMG the RE jobs have gone soooo fast? There were 388 ten minutes ago and now there are 80. Glad I grabbed one. Obviously a nation of alcoholics! :beer:

Mines just dropped from 32 to 9! The two that are very local to me are still waiting to be picked up.....mind you...I wouldn't eat in those places even if they paid me a million pounds! The one time I did, there was a stinking baby nappy in with the ketchup sachets! Nice!
