How about saying where the shop was and someone may have done it\live there and they will know.;)

I had to submit the survey last night . I'll torture myself by walking past the shop today though and have a good eyeball at what is either side.

I think with GAP that they may just either ignore it (you did send in a receipt) or they may ask you what is either side.

Don't fret about it.

Dunno if anyone here is interested - just had a tns allocator try and bribe me to visit a supermarket in postcode TD1, offering a fairly generous bribe. I said I wanted double which rather put them off. However, if anyone is interested it might be worth getting in touch and making an offer - I know there are a few of you in and around the general area.

Would it be the supermarket electrical visit? They phoned me yesterday but I turned it down. The notes say you have to speak to the 'electrical' staff or you dont get paid. Go to this shop a lot and havent see the correct staff in the electrical area for the last dozen or so times I've been there. Just normal staff. Dont want to to make a visit that I'm not going to be paid for. And I'm local. Risky making a longer trip.

Thanks for the alert though.

In my experience, they don't always seem to apply this. I have done several "urgent" ones where tracking down the right sort of staff member has been a wild goose chase. I have put in a full explanation of my attempts/enquiries and have always been paid. If unsucessful, I now always go to customer services and ask there for one of the specified staff members (advice given to me from "the horse's mouth").

I'm sure that there was a maximum time you had to wait for the electrical help staff, or had to ask CS where you could find them or if there was anyone around etc.

You could be right. I've done them in the past with ordinary staff. Had emails about this one as they usually struggle to cover it and it was in the emails saying you wouldnt be paid if it wasnt the correct staff. Told the allocator who called me that was why I hadnt applied for it and she never mentioned any other options.

Just done one of Max's job in a major dept store and they processed the store card before I signed anything. So i've been credit checked (and accepted) and now have to hope they cancel the store card. !!!!!!.

On one of these visits I did the shop staff provided some details on the product, but volunteered the information that the electrical (tech) guys were not starting that day until 4pm, so maybe better I call back then. As the store was a 20 mile round trip, I did not go and put the information on the report, I did get paid. Some of the tech guys are students.
