Hi all
What will TNS pay, if any, in case the store was closed for major refurbishment when the visit was scheduled to take place?
Is it fees only or fees & expenses?
Thanks

When I had a quick supermarket closed for refurbishhment, I took a photo and emailed them. I was really impressed they paid the fee, the reimbursement amount and apologised for the inconvenience.

I agree!! Did you take Coldstream? I like doing rounds im waiting till the local ones im off barred from(gala selkirk etc)

Only got 5 local ones. I'm barred from selkirk, hawick, peebles etc as well. Got a circuit going north (though barred from a lot of them too) and a circuit going south.

Barred from the local bookies and pubs with RE as I've done them too recently. I'm even barred from the gala burger. Think I've done my 33% of visits for the year. Every time I look it's an increased fee as well. .

Just means more work for you Jen. I'll get them the next time round.

Bit of a thick question. Just done my UNDERGROUND report for RE. Got to the end. Who uploaded a photo of the receipt and the product? Has anyone else had this too? I thought I had to take these photos?

I had to upload a photo of the closed item with the receipt under it with handwritten job id on it.

I also uploaded a photo of the receipt alone.

I also had to upload a photo of me balancing said closed item on my nose, whilst slicing more items to put inside it, typing my report whilst dancing like Michael Flatley.

Duck, I thought I had to do that too, it said that on the assignment notes. When I clicked submit and it went to the expenses stage, it already had someone's photo of it and the visit id and then a separate receipt with the id photo on too. What gives? I know RE is playing up tonight, but eh? It even had my visit id written on the receipt? Eeeek. I could not delete the photos and shove mine on, so I just clicked submit and what not.

Still got one report to do, but RE is !!!!ed! Err.

Had a good day today though. RE TV shop didn't have that TV, so the report was very simple. A phone shop for GFK was shut, so that was no's all the way through for the report. Woohoo.

They are great aren't they. We were walking past a shop that had demo's a couple of months ago and we all had a turn at the glassess. Can't see them catching on though......do you have to sit in our living room with the glassess on:eek:

Yes you have to wear the glasses to get the effects. We have enough problems finding remotes stuffed down the sofa cushions in our house, never mind £100 glassses :eek:

Yeah, Im barred from selkirk, hawick, peebles, gala, melrose, st bos, newton etc. lol... I can't do pubs or bookies for a bit still... and Gala burger im actually BANNED from there.. because i have a impending health inspector report from there.. one word saliva. So gap excused me from doing that.

I know and my partner is registered with GAP but can't see burgers yet.. sigh.

Mine had the right TV - but the poor salesman couldn't get the b***** thing to work in 3D (it was only showing a normal signal). It produced a 3D picture for just a few seconds (you could tell cos the picture on the screen was showing 2 slightly offset images) - but the glasses wouldn't work at all. Not the guys fault at all - the store just hadn't set it up right so, as a 'real' customer, I probably wouldn't have touched this TV with a bargepole. Not quite the effect they were after !

I am so furious with Gap. Clicked on to re-check a brief for tonight and noticed that an assignment I submitted earlier in the week is showing as rejected/cancelled. I have had no communication from them at all, have logged in their site every day too and no messages there. I cannot think of anything that would be wrong with it - I did everything right and I gave a glowing report as the staff were fab, timings quick, everything perfect. I really don't think I am going to bother doing the job I have booked for them for tonight, I cannot afford to pay out money if I am not sure if I will get it back.

And no, I know I should not be surprised at bl***y gap doing this, just annoyed. At least the meal was good.
