Has anyone who responded to a cinema audit email from 'the company thou shalt not name' had a response yet? Usually get a yes or no thanks response from their allocators but not heard a peep this time.

Just trying to plan my weekend - would help if allocators realised we had a life outside msing!

I've not either. I guess it's good to hear that no one has rather than it just being individuals!
I was getting slightly concerned as the job was still available on the Jobs Board, but it's my first job I'll have done for this company (I assume we're talking about the same one, although off the top of my head I can't even remember which company it was even with!), so I don't know what their standard practice is!

Who knows with GAP? I was fired after doing 4 successful jobs with them. I live in a very rural area so hopefully it will backfire on them :rotfl::rotfl: However I don't miss them at all and can't imagine why people put themselves through the stress of a burger job. I never did them because I don't eat meat but I still manage to get enough work to keep me busy

Think I've figured it out...
If you do the ordinary shops (mystery shops) with seaside petrol they obviously don't know you are a mystery shopper, BUT for the audits you have to introduce yourself etc, so you obviously wont be able to then be a mystery shopper, so, if you've done any seaside MS they wont let you do audits as your cover is blown.:D

Got my first assignment tomorrow for Gapbuster, just trying to practice using the stopwatch on my phone discretely.

Sigh, another 2 examples of RE genius already this morning. Watery earth jobs could only be completed on 1 specific day this round. No option. So I just received a mail from them saying "Please confirm your visit will be done by 11am *insert the day before the job date here *

And then I have to call them because when I accepted a job last night I had to call a lady to receive special instructions. Only the special instructions are just to confirm the job days and times, which I obviously checked when I accepted the job in the first place. Err, thanks for the wasted phone call.

It is absolutely infuriating to get these assignments where you have to ring in before you proceed.

I think this is an example of RE assuming that all of their shoppers are several sandwiches short of a picnic. The truth of the matter is that RE couldn't even organise the picnic if the posh sandwich shop shipped the stuff to them.:D

Completely agree, it infuriates me having to phone up to be told something which is blatantly obvious!
