There were instructions pending on what wave your doing... Its either a kids, or something else... check your attachments.

I've got a list of 19 films and it says adult films only. Do I just pick one of the adult films that my cinema is showing from the list?

I've got a form to fill in and a list of films and an authorisation letter. Nothing else. It's all a bit of guesswork.
I've just checked the cinema I am auditing and there are no films showing for over 18's only. Would a 15 rating be classed as adults films?

In a word yes, pick any film on the list that's showing at the relevant time slot.

Ha ha ha - I complained to gyp about not being paid for a burger job and just got an e-mail telling me I have been removed from their system and will no longer be able to work for them. Nice.

Ouch. In reality you're probably better off without them. Your waistline will thank you

I don't like the company that doesn't like to be named!!! Got an email yesterday about urgent supermarket audit. I saw it enter my email account, opened it, emailed with the jobs I wanted within 30 seconds. Got an email 4 hours later saying she had given them to someone. !!!!!!! If they already have top auditors who they give work to why email everyone else? Not impressed at all!!!

I'm a bit peeved with them as well, had a month when I couldnt do my CNS jobs, then the next month I was only allocated the 3 , the ones I'd picked up from the pool the month before (ie obviously no-one else wants them) - and when I asked about my regular ones, I was was told in no uncertain terms that they would be staying with the person that had done them the previous month - uhm .. what about loyalty to ME having done those same darn stores every month since January? That counts for nothing apparently!

Oh dear. I came very close to emailing the woman back with some rude words! Cheeky woman emailed me saying they had allocated the visits to someone else and then put 3 smiley faces. I was fuming. Why bother emailing people if they already have someone lined up for the jobs! OK, so it was only an audit, but I got really excited as they are so easy to do. Errrr.

Has anyone picked up a PERFUME visit for ESA? There is no fee for it, but you are expected to spend £xx. Is this £xx then reimbursed to you or not? It clearly says in one bit that you will NOT be reimbursed for the purchase. So if there is no fee and no reimbursement why would anyone want to do it? Am I being blonde or what? HELP!

Yes it says there is no field work fee for this project, the purchase to the value of £xx is your fee.

Has anybody done the report for the GfK bank visits where at the end it asks 'how much effort did you personally use today to complete your enquiry'? If so then how do you read it?

I am a bit confused as to me it's quite an ambiguous question. :question:

At least it's not a frozen or chilled product. If the smell bothers you too much put it in a storage box with a lid and keep it outside

How the hell can I get the smell out of my car???:eek:

I had all the bottles triple bagged, but after a day in the car, three bags was cearly not enough! It has obviously impregnated my clothes, too. I nipped in to see my neighbour about ten mins after I got home and he asked me what the smell was. I have transferred all the stuff from the car to the garage. I can't imagine a courier company will be keen to take it.
