They are pretty good, yeah, but not much work in the UK for the last few months, though I think there will be more in the new year.

Has anyone done a GR supermarket delivery today? I have just tried to ener my results but it won't let me enter the delivery date, it says it has to be between 31/07/2010 and 03/09/2010

I had exactly the same problem yesterday with a supermarket checkout audit. Weirdly, it let me put in the correct date at the start, but when I got down to entering the date on the receipt, it quoted those two dates you've put. I sent a query on it but haven't heard back yet.

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?

Mine isn't reimbursed, i can just take the item back later on but it has to be a minimum of £x. Think they're just definitely hoping people don't bother returning it so they don't have to lose out on money!

Sorry, misread your post. My post related to the GR leccy shops.

As a matter of interest, why did you feel you were ineligible? I have carried out audits and mystery shops at the same time and have never had a problem. In fact, I did one yesterday!

How on earth can you pass yourself off as a mystery shopper if you are doing an audit at the same time? Was it a covert audit, in which case they didn't know you were doing it? I'm a bit puzzled.

If it is the home furnishings audit you are talking about, then it specifically states on the MS ones that you cannot carry out the job if you already do the audits. (Would be ridiculous, as you have to go through your list with the Duty Manager after the audit).

Of course.... if it isn't this store then I will shut up.

I think mysteriousgirl perhaps quoted the wrong post, and meant to direct her question towards flyer.

Yes, yes, you're right. I did quote the wrong post. Thanks Monkey and sorry everyone!

Mysterious girl - if you're around, I tried to reply to the PM you sent ages ago but it wouldn't let me. Sorry, I didn't want you to think I'd ignored you

hi can anyone help with a cinema audit I've just done. It was a kid's film and there were no adverts and half the things on the list weren't shown. All I got was trailers and an ad for 3d home aerialess tv. How do I write it down, anyone else had this problem (It's my first one needless to say!)

Well, that was a quick 6 weeks. Kids go back to school tomorrow.

To celebrate, I have no less than 32 jobs planned for this week, including 5 Super Shopper stores!! Thought I'd break myself in gently LOL

How have you all been keeping anyway? I've been popping in occasionally but haven't really kept up with the thread.
