It wasn't n MS job, but I know that some on here did the work too, they hopefully know what I mean, but I'm now wondering!

Got it now!! mine went in the bank - I was confused as I thought they would just pay for all different projects at the same time but obviously not!

Anything else pending....I like being forewarned!

The first time I did this audit it took me over 4 hours so when I was offered it as a regular monthly job I turned it down as I didn't think I would ever be able to do it in under 2 hours.
This particular store was absolutely crammed with stock and not very well laid out.
Plus it was in an area with no loos and 2 hour maximum parking.

That doesn't sound good Luckily I know this one has loos, but now you mention parking I'm not sure if the trading estate has a 2hr restriction or no. I know ones close by do, but they're nearer town so it's to stop people parking then walking into town.

They do generally try to pay different projects a few days apart, so you can tell what's what, but last month it all went in at the same time for me.

EDIT: Big audits and Crisps pending for Mon.

Hi all,
I did pub ms for Re, in the questionnaire they asked that I should ask the person who serve me what are his plans for the world cup. I was scared that I might not see him again, as he was serving the bar and the tables, so I just said so what are you plans for the world cup? He had a customer seated at the bar, I think he was his friend who was smiling lol the guy got so red and thought I was chatting him up.:o
Luckily before I left I was told I can present the award for exceptional service, which he provided. so I gave him the award, at least he knows I was not chatting him up!

I tried to log on a few weeks ago and it wouldn't let me. But I just thought it was because an issue at my end and/or that I hadn't logged on for ages and my details had lapsed.

I can log in OK. I think there's been a problem with duplicate posts.

I think I'm doing something wrong, I seem to be fitting my life around mystery shopping, instead of the other way round :rotfl: I think it's because there's no guarantee of anything next week, that I can't bring myself to turn down any jobs.

Urgent shop in Doncaster on GFK - they state they will pay travel and parking for this one *faints in shock* must be done today or Sunday. I cant do this one so hopefully someone else can pick it up

(from the ALERTS thread - best not reply on there!!!)

Typically I was in Doncaster yesterday for just 1 job (did some shopping though so all is not lost!) - GFK had rung me about a bank one they needed doing but I have my son off school all week. Said I'd do it if I could take him... they were going to get back to me if client would relax the rules this time (guess they wouldn't as I never heard back!). Just looked on my GFK page and there are now 3 jobs in the area showing to be done by end of the week. (2 banks and 1 corner shop - is this the one you meant?). Sod's law!

I guess you are quite close to me going on the alerts you post!! I'm in N Lincs... is it you that snaps up all the restuarants on RE before I can get to them? I've only ever seen one Italian Bros on there and have never seen the one round the corner from me!
