I got a couple of edigital travel surveys but after seeing how long they take and how little you get paid I decided it's not worth my time so keeping on the back burner for now.

Good news - just checked React website and see I got a 10/10 for a phone call I did for them :j:j!

Bad news - there's no jobs around anywhere - June is looking really bad. Just missed out on a job at the airport and would have earned myself a good deal of money but someone pipped me to the post :mad:. Grrrrr!

So I get a down under call to do a burger place my local one.. I had already been taken off the place the month before because (its a well known fact the place is dreadful) and they complained about my report.
But they were desperate..

So I did it.. I scored a fuel so hey ho!

Anyway, I had to wait 8minutes in the parking spot for the meal!! (thats 8 min from getting my drinks to getting my food) so I just knew this wasn't going to go down well.. The fries were brown and limp.. the burger lettuce was BROWN!! I took photos of this as I just KNEW i would get queried.

LOW AND BEHOLD.. I did... and GYP said "the burger place said you parked in an obsecure manner (not in the parking bay ) so thats why the food took so long.. .

-- I replied with there was no room in the 2 bays so i parked NEXT to these bays.. hardly a far walk!!

and secondly they didn't believe me about the food.. So Again I sent my photos in etc.

I so dont think im going to get paid AGAIN this annoys me

LOL so you parked an 8 minute walk away, did you?!!

The burger place really does wind me up with the excuses they make. The store managers lie through their teeth if they get a bad report because they know that Gap will always believe them over us, and if they can discredit the MS-er, the job is invalid, we don't get paid and they don't lose their bonus. And to make sure we don't give a truthful report again, any shopper that DARES to give a bad report gets sacked from the jobs.

They need to get into the real world; let us take other people with us because we all know that the majority of customers DON'T go in on their own; they need to vary the scenario so that we can order things other than the bog standard items - eg. allow us to order the seasonal burgers etc - because when we go in on our own, order the same-old, same-old and then ask for a receipt we all know what happens. Showtime!!! And, moreover, Gap actually need to start believing US, because if we didn't do the jobs for them, THEY wouldn't get paid themselves!!!

What would be GREAT would be if all MS-ers would boycott these jobs and refuse to do them until our reports are believed, but that would never work, because we all know that for every one of us honest shoppers, there are probably 100 who will do the job and give fake timings and false good reports just for a free lunch. Which of course is what McD's WANT and Gap want as well because a happy client means lots of money for them.

I purposely got the periodical screening questions wrong last time (said I was a veggie!!) so I don't see the jobs any more. And if it wasn't for the coffee jobs I'd tell Gap to stick it. But I find the kitchen scales too useful and I don't want to have to return them.

"The restaurant states the lettuce wasn't brown can you confirm the photos you sent were from this site"

Why would you have sent them if they were from somewhere else? Do they think you keep a stock of brown lettuce photos just so you can give bad reports for the fun of it?

jen_br

Well younever know... !!!!!!! lol seriously yes my sole purpose in life is to screw around with Burgers reputation..
.
I keep my brown lettuce next to the mouse droppings and odd fingers in the boot of my car!
