why do grass roots clothes stores say you much purchase something to the minimum of "£blah blah" when they dont even see the receipt and say you can take your item back :S

Probably o that you can assess the till transaction/service.

They ask for the numbers on the receipt don't they? I believe you can take the items back, but I suppose they hope that you don't so you kind of work for free.

I meant to mention earlier but forgot. I got a call off GFK today asking if I could do an urgent job, unfortunately I mentioned that I do audits in the same shop so the chap who rang said I wasn't eligible after all. But what was really nice, was that he asked how the audits were going, how did I enjoy them, etc, and thanked me for all my hard work. TBH, it might just be something small, but I thought that was really nice. When I've had calls from other companies, and I've said 'I can't because of xxxx', all I've had is 'ok then, bye'.

Full marks to GFK

Have to agree with you there. The allocators are lovely.

Actually, for the shops I did for them yesterday, it's not a minimum spend, it's that they will reimburse you upto the amount stated on the paperwork.

Interestingly, it specifically states that you can buy vouchers, so maybe buy vouchers then dsave them up if you do these jobs quite often?

I had three egg jobs yesterday. Has anyone else convinced themselves that their sandwiches were really off and could not eat their dinner that night lol.

Don't know about the sandwiches As I normally use milk as product return, but having done 10 in 2 days I'm expecting a knock at the door from the RSPCA any minute now on the grounds of cruelty to chickens!
