how long ago was that Nat

It was probably around March time so quite a while ago - I may have to ask for it to be reset again

There is one particular customer which won't let the test be reset. I failed another test for a different customer and that was able to be reset.

What is a good company to go with for petrol station shopping jobs?

Yep, Gap. They get a bit of stick on this forum but I like the company.

Hi does anyone know, if your sacked from GAP (still dont know why) do you still get paid? I did about 5 jobs for them at the beginning of the month. I only got a generic mail from them and can only access my profile page. Ive made sure all my details are correct but I havnt heard anything else. id be gutted if I didnt get paid as they all required a purchase.

btw I checked the all through this thread and half way through the last one and searched in the wee box before asking. sorry if its been asked recently

thanks
Nic

Hi Everyone, I'm looking for some advice regarding a new mobile phone if anyone can help as I'm not very technically minded? I'd like to be able to use my phone to check my e-mails and also to open the mystery shopping sites and book and apply for assignments. I'd be grateful for any advice on phones that work well for this

Don't buy an iPhone. Many non-techincally-minded people get sucked in. Don't buy one!

I've got a Nokia n series, but some non-technically-minded people have problems with these, due to the networks putting their own operating software (firmware) onto the phone and it ends up not working very well.

Many people on here use Blackberry "phones" (term used losely sas they can do many things!) - never owned one myself, but have used them and they seem great. The only problem with them, for me, is the buttons are really small and I have hands like shovels and sausage-fingers so I can't get on with them very well.

Grrr, someone just stole my station! The station jobs are only really worth it if I cna get a couple of them because you have to buy a ticket to get past the barriers, and I just accept 1, then try to accept the second but get a message saying its just been taken by another shopper. Typical!

If you tell the station staff what you're doing, maybe show them some "official looking" paperwork, you'll probably find that they'll allow you through. Even better if you offer them some proof of id and say they can photocopy it or similar.

BUT, it's a gamble if one of their mates/partners works in the place you're mystery shopping.

Aww I'm so gutted I missed the doughnut ("please do not refer to them as "donuts" ", as it says in the brief ) jobs on RE.

NOT!!!!!!

I did a job last month and they have to be the most over-hyped, over-priced, foul things ever. £9.95 for 12 doughnuts? I can get 5 for £1 in Asda and they're much nicer!

... Good luck to anyone that picked a job up, I don't envy you one little bit!!!

OMG, are you serious?!??!

I **LOVE** these things. I don't have one anywhere near me, nearest place is a 100mile+ round-trip. RE (and the tax man) paid for me some a few months ago.

I was over in London a few days ago and had to take a de-tour to get some as I'd not had any in aaaages!!

MMMMMMM!!
