    Just came here to ask the same thing!
    I suppose it's a good thing that it's a general error with them and nothing to do with us specifically!

    All fixed now...after I sent the error report...obviously a glitch in the system.

    Just done a phones visit for GFK. My gosh, I walked in, waited for a few minutes for the member of staff (who was just stood around doing nothing at all). I had to approach him. Asked my enquiry. He was so not interested. I couldn't prompt him further as it would have voided the visit. I was given very very limited information and the service was horrible. Do I just go ahead and input the results? I was in and out within 3 minutes. I have done previous visits for this particular phone shop, and they normally sit you down and practically force the contract down your throat. Assist me please.

    I had a visit like that with exactly the type of salesperson you describe.

    I was honest. I gave accurate timings. I got paid!:D

    The report becomes very repetative to type though...

    Thanks for the info love. You the bestest :j:j

    Shame not all their stores have staff like this. I'd be in and out in no time. Last time I did one of these, the consultant more or less locked the door and would not let me out until I said I would promise to take a contract out. LOL. That was funny.

    Visit was easy money. Did a mini eggs shop today too and that was done within 10 minutes as store was so tiny. Woohoo.

    Hope you are all having a good weekend.

    I did some last week, one was so small I tottered around a bit longer just to make sure I was in long enough and didn't get a query asking how I did it so fast.

    Think I've mucked this one up - forgot to check I had a receipt after being given my change. Once I realised, it was too late and next customer had been served. So only option was to ask for a handwritten receipt (it is on official ***** receipt notepaper). I realise it says in the notes that handwritten ones will only be accepted in extenuating circumstances. What are the chances I will get paid for this? Feel very reluctant to fill in the questionnaire tonight as I don't want to give them a load of free info!! Should I just hold off till monday am?

    Any advice or suggestions very welcome :)
