    Not that I am really that bothered about this but can anyone see any burgers on GAP in the Falkirk area? I have never seen any for that region (can for all my other local ones) and the auto email they sent me today saying that they had released them for November showed 6 of them listed and I refuse to believe they have all gone in the few hours since they were released.

    I can not see me rushing to go and do one of them, but you never know what premium ones you can pickup if in the area!!


    None showing at the moment - just phones.

    Nope, can't see any! Have you tried searching for the assignment numbers in your email?

    Just tried and they are coming up

    "The assignment number/s you have entered is/are invalid. Please try again."

    I have just tried searching on one of my allocated jobs and got this message

    "The assignment number you have entered has unfortunately already been selected by another shopper. Please try another search to see if there is more work in your area."

    So really not sure... Oh well another gapisum :mad:

    This problem has been bugging me too. Every month they send me an email listing assignments in my area but the same three always come up as number invalid when I search by number.

    I'm sure the jobs haven't been taken as they are in an unpopular area and the others on the list are always still there when I check. I've emailed them to ask why but no reply. It's weird.

  • Thank the lord for RE pharmacies. They have come around at just the right time as I am full of the cold, it's not good and I have nearly 50 jobs scheduled for this week.

    Could some kind person let me know the reimbursement breakdown for the petrol station that GFK recently tried out, unable to access the paperwork.

    Thanks very much

    Oh RE how silly you are!!

    I've had a query on a report for a visit a few days ago.
    There were 7 members of staff when I entered 3 were serving customers at the tills, and 4 were helping customers on the shop floor. There was approximately 28 customers. I input all this where asked. Except I must have mistyped as it appears I have put 77 MoS!!
    Now common sense would realise this as human error, but the message from RE?

    "Can you state what the other 70 staff members were doing when you entered the store?" :rotfl:

    No mention of the fact though that I said waiting 4 minutes to be approached was perfecctly reasonable given the level of business in the store though given that there should still have been 49 extra staff than customers!! :D

    Not sticking up for RE proofreaders, but maybe yours has a sense of humour? If I was proofreading and came across a statement so obviously wrong like that, I would feel compelled to email the shopper with a slightly sarcastic question!

    I can see the humour in it anyway :D

    Oh leave them alone :)

    I'd have laughed and assumed the report checker had a sense of humour if I'd got that email with such a dry comment :rotfl::rotfl:

    But then I really like RE - Do their reports drive me batty at times-yep but I've found everyone there nice and easy to deal with-and of the two-that's the way round I prefer it.
