Sorry all ,its just the electrical shop that is confusing me. It really does ask for a major purchase in a shop that only sells items which are VERY expensive. It also really does only offer £10 reimbursement. This MSing is causing serious confusion to one hormonal brain!

I've never seen a job like that and I've been doing this for years.

Usually in electrical stores they ask you to make an enquiry about something like a new washer or a flat screen TV or something, but then you back out of that and buy something small to report on the till purchase.

I usually buy hoover bags or batteries.

I did have to buy a very expensive coat this morning, but then I had to go back later and return it and report on the refund bit.

I don't think i would go as far as buying £1000 fridge for a £10 fee lol

Anyone know which agency has jobs for clothes retail stores? Are there any jobs available in this area at the moment? Many thanks.:)

re has some clothes clients where you get re-imb to buy something and you can usually get something within the limit. none in my area now but there were some a few days ago so worth a try

With the photo jobs I've been saving a zip file and emailing that then sending via the site - tbh I havent found to too arduous at all, fairly pleasant work overall really.

That's the problem I've been having... have to create 3 or 4 zip files for each job as they are too big to email. Have uploaded to the site as per brief each time, and this is relatively quick and painless but then without fail I get a phone call / email, asking if I could also email them through. Which then takes hours. Not sure if it's my email client (I use gmail) but it's tedious...

Got two more of them to do this month then that's it for now, thank goodness!

ETA: Just checked and my ESA jobs are all still pending too...

Text message received from Gyp this morning...

"Today's [Pittance Paid Fatty Food] Evaluation will be reviewed by CCTV. Remember to shop alone, stay 15 minutes, check restroom and measure times accurately."

The only restroom I will be checking today is my bed as Gyp interrupted my beauty sleep. I will be making sure I measure the rest of my 8 hours sleep before getting up. I will then review my TV instead of doing the assignment as the money Gyp pay is not worth getting out of bed for if you wake me up prematurely.

i just got that as well! i would imagine gap would fire people if they cancel their assignments after that! :eek: i will be paranoid now although i am suprised they actually told us they would be doing that!

am i the only one that doesnt mind burger jobs? i think they are ok paid compared to most of the things on re or even a large supermarket on tns. yes the fee isnt that much but when you consider it is only £1 less than a re job that takes 10x as long to do and write up they are worth it!
