I'm doing a GR job for a checkout audit- the cheap green one-it doesn't say but I assume its covert??

No, you just dive in and do it openly. Section to note any comments from staff. No problems.

Can anyone who does the posh supermarkets for ABAi give me any info about expenses. I want to know if I will be out of pocket before applying as there is an awful lot of travelling involved.
thanks

There is a mileage rate paid, but I can't recall the exact amount off the top of my head. It's reasonable though.

There is a section for comments if caught. I always just do it covertly though it's more fun :rotfl: think they want you to try to do it discreetly despite saying it "must be done on this very obvious looking form".

I have a code I use and enter either a number for how many people or a letter for the different signs into the notes section on my phone. Only thing that annoys me is receipt needed to verify you've been and no reimbursement!

Oh and stupid queries like the one the other day... It only took you four minutes to do the audit is this right. "I am good at what I do, so yes, it is"

I did. I'm a new shopper 24 jobs so far. Perhaps wrongly I made the assumption it was hanging out on street corners?! Be interested to see what comes of it regardless.

Blimey, I shouldn't don't knock a gift horse in the mouth and all that but no ones going to get rich from MS are they? Or am I missing something?:rotfl:

Hope everyone is having a good start to the weekend.

I've applied. I've done a little promo work, it pays better than MSing but only because you usually get a full days work out of it.
