i have never had a problem with audit or crisps, dont even bother showing the letter, just say 'i am here to take the monthly photos of crisps' and they just give me the book! the manager walked past me taking pictures the other morning (obv dont wear the stupid badge they give you) and he didnt even look twice! although i have had a manager ask me what i am doing when doing the audit before (i used to discourage them from getting him after i had to wait 15 minutes for him to come and he still didnt show up) grr

I just ask to sign in, get my badge and go unless they ask me what I'm doing in which case I tell them I'm doing an audit and they always seem happy with that. Only been asked once to see my letter and then she just called the manager who ok'd it over the phone. I never ask to see the manager as it takes forever.
Clippy girl, I would wear the badge if they have given you one, it is part of the signing in conditions

Took me 3.5 hours (door to door) to cover 5 stores today including travelling around 35 miles plus a petrol job in the middle. Fairly reasonable for the overall fee. Think it took about 10-15 mins to cover the extra bits in each store which was alright.

I found that one of the smaller stores took longer than the bigger ones because there were more people milling around getting in the way. Then the staff decided to do shelf stacking where I needed to go lol.

And how do you upload the extra bits? (I cant find the original email)

It said they will amend the authorisation letter but at the moment once you are in the door then go for it!! I don't sign in for many of mine as it would take longer that the job does and only once have I been asked why I was taking photos by a MOS. I think we're to upload them in the same way as the original ones - and they were hoping they would be up this weekend

Sorry, didn't see your repy before I posted above. Have you seperated them, or do you just tag them to the end of the crisp if they are in the same store (assuming you do them at the same time). I have done some of my crisp, so they are showing as accepted. I can't see anyway of uploading the extras.

I have to be honest that I don't actually upload anything until the Monday following when I'm at work. We're an Apple household and the upload site doesn't work on macs. However their latest e-mail said that they should be online today, which makes me think that something is missing perhaps. I'll do it like you have if there isn't anything obvious by Monday.

Can anyone help with a SSS application please? At the bottom it asks for phone codes of areas I would work in. The local ones are mainly 013 012 etc, but these are coming up as a non valid code. It only allows 3 characters. I have left it blank at the moment. Any thoughts?

Aren't 3 digit area codes US codes?

True they are!

Morning all

Additional photo capture sections now on the crisp upload site.

I'm a bit worse for wear this morning....luckily the shops don't open here until 1pm on a Sunday so I have some time to pull myself together
