Thank-you :beer:
I managed to sign up to the Sassie US site - plenty of hotel jobs if anyone is going that way!

All my local coffee's have gone, hope to catch them next time.

Burger toilets

Glyndwr wrote: »

The error is on the question asking which toilets you visited. I've definately got the right sex(!). I'd previously answered whether they were clean so I can't see what the contradition is.

I'll get on with a couple of other reports & go back to it & try again.

Just a stab in the dark ..... it isn't an outlet at a service area, is it? These are sometimes set up as "site not responsible for toilets," in which case you have to go through all the questions and give that sort of response in each of the boxes.

React travel

Hi again. Anyone done one of the travel assignments for react? Is the fee fair for the amount of work? Is the questionnaire horribly long seeing as this involves two visits, internet queries etc? Just wondering if its worth applying for so any info would be great! Did a GR travel shop last week and it was dead straightforward

I have done these several times in the past. The physical visits are much like any other travel agent job (in time spent, etc.). The other bits are failry quick. I reckon the pay is OK for the work involved (and it is React, so there is no hassle).

I have just picked up a good run of stamp jobs on Gyp. I have not put an alert on because they were only showing in one of my six areas.:)

These Gyp sackings ...... they seem to do this every so often, don't they? I think they must have some 'minimum per month' jobs criterion; maybe the admin costs (e.g. processing pay) does not justify them keeping the people who only do one or two jobs a month. Just a thought. Also, they obviously clear out the client/shopper databases with alarming frequency. They said cheerio to me for coffee jobs earlier this week. I lost chicken ages ago. I just assume that the full and final farewell comes to us all eventually. It's just a case of when.:D

It's probably more to do with there only being burgers available. Although in all honesty I'd recommend doing the orientation for the burgers. They are gyps baby so if they have a shopper who refuses to do them they may decide to sack you.

I don't think there is any rhyme or reason to the sackings, but I would recommend doing the odd one burger every few months to keep in their good books. They also keep a lot of the good shops such as fuel back for bribes to get you to do burgers. So if you don't do any burgers you may struggle to find any jobs on there.

Thanks, I'll do the burger orientations then and see what happens

Anyone know what GR are like for honest opinions, I've just done one for them and the assistant was bad to say the least, I've seen people say they get sacked for giving honest results, are GR likely to do that?

I've done a few for GR that basically said they were C**p and never had a problem.

If it is what really happened then I am sure you will be fine with GR. The only companies I have ever had any problem with in this regard are Gap and RE.

ukmonkey

Yeah GR are spot only. My only fault with them is the lack of work!

I made a mistake. I answered an unknown number. And the result was.............................. a chicken job for £7.

I had the Gap email today too - it was only a matter of time I suppose!

I've been with them a few years now, & really only did coffee, stamp shops, corner shops & the odd travel agent & phone shop - on average about 15 jobs a month.

I only ever did a few burgers - got begging phone calls for these but said no almost every time if it wasn't convenient for me - yet always got offered other jobs.

It's been a good run and like others was always told I was "one of their best shoppers" blah blah, but that's life...........and there are hundreds of Mystery Shopping companies out there..............................:D
