TG You were right. I did the Idiot's guide and you said they won't even read it. I think to date 2 people have read it.

One of the main points I made was to put a thread title to make it easier to search ie Gap Pay, TNS Senario etc.

Have they bothered. Nah you were right TG. I wasted my time and like you I am out of here.

I mean !!!!!!! thead title.,...was it too much to ask.????

Bye

Blimey.

I use user cp to read this, and didn't see a post that you had put together a new guide [you may have mentioned it but I must have missed the one that says it is done]

Are you suggesting in your idiot's guide that people who do not use the title line are indeed - idiots?

Personally, I don't read idiot's guides...is that what you have titled it?

ETA: what guide? There is nothing on the first 2 pages of Up Your Income....ETA again - I've just seen it is on the first page of this thread.....

[Who's 'they'....aah yes, the idiots...well if they are idiots then they won't, will they??]

Oh for goodness sakes; I'd already found it and edited my post......

It was posted as if it was a stand alone guide that people must read....

And demanding that people put titles in will just start another line of things people can complain about on here.

I have read HP's guide - I don't consider myself to be new or an idiot but I welcomed the opportunity to pick up any helpful tips from an experienced shopper....but I did think that was what it was - an offer of help if you chose to take it. It seems now that it is being dressed up as a laws which we have to follow - perhaps that needs to be cleared up.

And maybe it could be titled 'Tips to help new mystery shoppers' . I understood that the term 'Idiots Guide' was just a turn of phrase where as it is now being implied that people who are new are indeed idiots which is at best patronising and at worst down right offensive.

Well I got bribed by Gap last nite so am off on a 100 mile round trip for a yummy burger! Have managed to fit it in with coffee and cake, a pub lunch, station coffee and 6 egg shops! Guess I will be burning the midnite oil getting reports back this evening. Very busy again next week...hope it is the same for all of you.:)

I thought my day was bad enough and I only have six jobs on a 40 mile round trip! hope the weather's ok where you are - so far so good here!

It will be termed patronising when the writer implies that 'they' haven't read it....I agree - calling it Holly's Guide...' might be a better title.

I have 7 egg jobs to do today, and currently not sure if my car will be able to get out of the snow drift it's currently sitting in!

Hello,

I have a suggestion to do with the Gap info at the start of the thread. It is definately worth doing all the oreintations even if you have never seen a job with that client. i used to do them as and when i saw jobs and as i hadn't seen certain clients i haven't yet done them all. i agreed to do a last minute burger job and without any prompting the guy said 'i would have given you some petrol jobs but you have not done the oreintation' :mad::mad::mad: he told me to make sure i do it so i can get them next time!

i am sure most people have done them all but just in case you thought it wasn't worth it.....it is! :T (goes off to cry at not getting petrol jobs )
