Comments

  • Has anyone ever completed a chicken job and received a follow-up email saying that the dining area closes after a certain time and the store only does takeaway? It's happened to me, my first ever follow-up inquiry and the store wants to know why I dined in after its alleged 5pm cutoff - I think they're possibly nitpicking because they weren't happy with one of my comments.

    The truth is that the dining area was open with several other customers when I sat in to eat my meal, and I would have been totally ignoring the shopper instructions if I hadn't ate in, but I'm a bit concerned I won't get paid now...

    I have done my first Gap job burgers however can anybody enlighten me as to where KSS is on the receipt as it was asked in the questionnaire. Also it has gone to pending will I be sacked before I even start:eek:

    I've completed loads of these assignments and have never figured out what the KS value refers to. In the final Notes I always just say that I can't find it on the receipt. :)

    What company is "EA" as mentioned on the Alerts thread?

    Can someone give me some info on them so I can add them to the OP?

    Thanks x

    I thought it stood for East Anglia, and the post said in EA not on EA.

    Yeah in East Anglia. Sorry for the confusion but I know some people said a few pages back that putting the area down helped.

    Edited to add I would have been a bit more specific with county, but I could see Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk!

    quite interesting reading comments about queries from gap re chicken and burgers. i have done loads of bad reports for both places on quite a few occasions and they have only ever querried one report. there are obv quite a few pps in my area happy to do them as well as there are never usually premium or jobs at the end of the month. strange! i try to write something positive no matter how bad the visit was (there has always been something i can comment on).

    re the receipt saga, if you do a drive through they have given me a receipt without asking everytime. not sure why as i can see the order displayed on a screen inside so its not like they use it.

    i have only had 1 floor show in my locals and i do 6 of them regularly! they dont bat an eyelid when i ask for a receipt! the other week i went in on a sat in casual clothes, sat down, realised i forgot the receipt and went back up and asked her to print it for me. she STILL didnt realise!!!! :rotfl:

    I noticed that RE are proof reading and moving jobs to the pay section really quickly these days - I get the reports in and the next day its down to be paid!! :)

    React however seem to take ages to read them and score them - I have some left from mid March still not either read, paid or a query raised if they have one!! Very slow. They do however pay more :)

    ESA - how I would love to see some more jobs

    GAP dont seem to have many clients and wish they had more

    The company that don't like being named only ever offer crisps jobs and since I don't fancy these nothing else comes along - I just cant face stalking the CNS aisle:rotfl:

    JKS TNS GR GfK all good but not enough work ever available and it goes so quickly - :(

    Hope you all have a busy week ahead with the ms-ing..:)

    Jobs wise I have thirteen booked between tomorrow and Sunday (must get at least one more 13 is not good!). Fourteen booked so far for the week after but the crisp jobs will need fitting in from next weekend so thats another fifteen to do. And I'm back to my day job next week too.

    Two jobs booked for May so far...early days yet.

    Now where are those egg jobs???
