    Hi guys - not having a good week with MS'ing! Apart from not getting any jobs Mon-Weds - 2 Gyp jobs got cancelled due to the no-Ice, forgot to do a Gyp yesterday and today I was due to do 2 Gyps but 1 had not been at that place for over a year!!!

    Need your help - How do I tell Gyp that it no longer exists and would they pay me for it?

    Thanks in advance! Hope you all are having a better week!!!

    Would be best if you have a photo of the site as proof.... however, first thing I would do is re-schedule it to the latest date possible so they don't de-allocate it while you're sorting this out - and then email them through their system and explain that this site is closed. They may pay you a partial fee for your trouble.

    Thank you - it was located within another store - I was thinking of just doing the report but stating that the site no longer exists??? Also cannot reschedule - no other dates available.

    Have emailed them though so will see what happens - has this happened to anyone before? I have only had this once with RE and just called them up - Gyp is scary as they will probably sack me :(

    Anyone doing the travel shops for ESA suspect they have been sussed? I did one in the last wave and just done one at lunchtime. Everything was 'normal' until she put my surname into the computer and then she asked if my initial was J which I said it was. Then she went a bit 'weird' - just wondering whther a note has been made on their system.

    I did 5 of these jobs yesterday, and 3 the day before. In a couple of the jobs yesterday I could see their screen. When they entered my details, a list of the other stores I had done came up, clearly showing that I had made an enquiry at several other stores. What normal person goes into 8 different travel agents in 2 days for a quote :rotfl:. I got the floor show after that, too :D

    Hello to everyone by the way :beer:. I've been MSing for 3 years now, I normally just read but had to post about my experiences yesterday :eek:

    Could it pass of a form of OCD? :rotfl:Its hard to tell sometimes whether you've been sussed or its just paranoia!

    I have had the same problem with the last few reports I have tried to do for re, took me over an hour to do a very short report one night:eek: I'm just pleased I haven't had any of the 'usual' very long comment reports to do for re for a while!

    Same here..:mad: it was so annoying late last night and really tired and trying to input onto accordian and the type appearing (ages??:eek:) later... wish the system would be changed a little:)

    That's interesting. I did mine at lunchtime and when she put my name and postcode in it came up with my full address! However, I can't believe I've been sussed cos she was rubbish!
    Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.

    Just went and done a batch of Gap stamp jobs, one of the locations was closed - didnt even have a note in the door to say why. Was a branch located within a convenience store, so maybe not the clients fault but that of the store owners. Have contacted Gap, but I'm guessing they will ask me to re-visit on another day for free? Have said I am happy to revisit for a further fee, anyone know how Gap handle closed locations?
