How did it go? These are my favourite jobs each month. I put off mine tonight because I had a big chinese meal and couldn't be bothered moving LOL. The first one is the worst because of all the timings, especially if you get a full screening!:eek:

it went well thanks luckily there were under 100 people in total

mind has gone blank and cant think what its called but i did my mumbers using the method of doing lines and crossing the 5th one (please someome tell me what that method is called as i will now be thinking about it all night! ) just added lines for the extra ppl that came in at each stage.

imagine they get easier with practice, kept having to flick the pages when inconsiderate people decided to enter when i was trying to write down names of things! :eek: :rotfl:

decided to be cheeky and ask them to validate my car park ticket so i didnt have to pay (no free parking near by)

Thats what I do, but can't help you with the name. I always ask at the counter if they will confirm the number of people who attended, just to make sure our numbers tally up (obviously if there are a few people there.....LOL) Hang on a minute - is it called a tally chart?:rotfl:

I call it a tally chart too, some people call it gates or gate tally.

I love how there is a wikipedia page for almost anything!!!!

Been busy this afternoon, 7 photos, 1 audit and a cinema check. Managed to get the photos and audit done door to door in just over 4 hours including 30 miles travel between them all. I was impressed! Less impressed with the people stocking the shelves though haha.

thanks all

grrrr how annoying is it when they park their filling trolley in front of a bay that you need! or when shelves empty and you have to keep doing close ups! or when customers spend 5 mins looking at one bay trying to decide!

i only have 1 crisp and i drive past in on way to work. started doing it at 8am when it opens and as they have stacked overnight there are no gaps and no staff getting in the way. amazing how quick it is when you only need a quick snap of each bay and dont need all the close ups!

wont really work doing a circuit though

What's the deal with ESA in regards in payment? I completed my first ever shops for them last week :j and I now have a pay statement but it doesn't seem to say when I can expect the money!

You normally get it around the 9th of the month following the statement. Have a look in your account around the 9th August.

Edit: LOL - beaten to it by clippy girl!
