Just accepted an "audit" for GR to be done at the end of the week and I'm a bit nervous. I think it needs to be done covertly because there is a section where it asks if I have been asked by a staff to see what I'm doing which will be most likely as I'm gonna be walking down a whole side of the supermarket with an audit form.

Any tips on how I should do this? I am a bit thick lol!

Was also very nervous about this one but I did this saturday and the manager was watching the tills, staff everywhere and noone questioned me, just be casual it takes no time at all and a VERY EASY report. Good Luck

Done a couple of these, one overtly (wandering along with clipboard) and one covertly. With the overt one, I was approached by a manager, but as soon as I explained what I was doing, there was no problem whatsoever. Second one I did covertly after someone mentioned on here about entering the info as code on a mobile phone (sorry can't remember who it was but thanks for the tip!). Easy to do this way as you can wander up and down the aisles pretending you are shopping, then check the tills each time you get to the bottom.

Took about the same amount of time each way, but option 2 stops you feeling like a tool

it was a spicy electrical where they sold nothing as low as the reimbursement.

I haven't done any of those since the day my husband was looking for something in the cleaning cupboard and said "what the hell have we got all these hoover bags for?" :rotfl:

I do that covertly by memory and text message. If I was stopped I would say I was looking for my Mam as she should be finished her shopping now. I've never been stopped though.

Just done an underground sandwich job, but forgot to photograph my receipt next to the sandwich. Have I blown it??

How good are your Photoshop skills :cool:

If you have the photo of the sandwich and you have the receipt, then add the two together?

Otherwise send an email with the receipt attached?

I made this mistake too and had to do it again without pay!

I think the reason why they ask for a picture of the receipt next to the sandwich is because people were swopping photos of sandwiches and using old ones so the customer was not getting an accurate representation of how the sandwich looked at the time of purchase. They use the receipt with the job number on next to the sandwich to verify that that sandwich is for that job and the photo can't be reused.

I don't think they'd accept an email with the receipt attached or a photo shopped version for that reason, but might be worth Flyer giving it a go I suppose.

My MS total for November assignments to be paid before xmas now stands at £369. Would love to get it to £450 but need GfK's help on this. They've had nothing but banks that I don't fit the criteria for. Come on guys, get some more assignments on the board! Need to fund Christmas without touching my credit card.
