Yay, I'm off probation for RE - problem is there's only 2 pharmacy jobs available and they're not close to me.

When the kids are back to school / nursery I might psyche myself up and do a burger job for GAP . Can't see me getting a phone call offering 17 jobs quite yet though!

You may do one day! That is quite rare for me though to get that amount - I've had 5 or 6 quite regularly though.

My first job with Gap was a burger one for the breakfast scenario which was yuk! I don't mind one of their burgers as I don't have all the relish & stuff on mine so it's cooked to order & usually OK but you can't ask for that on one of the Gap jobs.

I do one of the Golden Arches occasionally for another company as part of a Shopping Centre visit I do, along with other outlets, & you can buy what you like, so then I can order one without relish & it's always quite nice as it's cooked fresh.

I have to ask for a receipt but you don't get the usual performance because they don't realise they are being Mystery Shopped as the order isn't what they are used to mystery shoppers asking for!

I've got a couple of travel shop assignments for ESA and was wondering if its okay to take the kids on them? There is nothing in the brief about going alone.

Hi. I have completed my first job for ABAI today and they want the whole receipt number not sure which one that is as there are lots of numbers and a barcoded number.

Thanks

I don't do burger jobs either as I hate those cheap burgers. But from what I hear aren't you missing out on the best bit....the floor show which sounds hilarious.

Only one of mine was urgent - I get asked to do this almost every month from them - the rest were for over the following couple of weeks and they know I travel to these places regularly so offered them to me.

It's probably ok if the notes don't specifically say no children.

However, travel agent shops can take some time. From experience, an enquiry will be on average 20-30 minutes, and longer if they are struggling to find a holiday or like talking about your chosen destination. Can your children manage to sit still for that length of time without getting bored and whinging? Mine can't which is why they don't go on travel shop jobs

The last one I did was a family holiday for two adults and two children, so I just pretended Charlotte didn't exist. The boys came with me into town and went off on their own as they wanted to go and buy a football and stuff. They turned up during the shop and the youngest started babbling on about his baby sister. The lady looked puzzled, so I had to pretend my brother lived nearby and my niece came round so often, he called her his sister, then had to mouth "shut up" to him when the lady looked back at her screen
