  • I'm loving that PIP have the following option:

    "Sales person profile - Male, Female, Unknown"

    Has anyone had to use the third option yet?

    Not gonna alert this as I will get my bum smacked again and it does say on that guy's post yesterday that alerts should not be repeated the day after, BUT lots of new things (mainly in Scotland) have gone on the secret eating company, mainly eating places. Go get them if you can self allocate.

    Alert what you want, if people don't like seeing something they might have already seen then fair enough but how many people might have missed them/

    The folk already seeing it are obviously miffed at losing a mere 10 seconds from their life clicking on a link and then reading.

    Dear me.

    Have to say I did a shop the other day where that option did cross my mind...it was only the name badge that was a clue. :D
  • I have been with them years and years and never forgotten the receipt before...I am not expecting to get paid!! Still not heard back from them yet tho...just the reminder email that the assignment is now overdue.
    You can complete the assignment bit and send that without the receipt as I did that once when I lost the receipt in the car and report was due.It was sent fine, then I got an email advising me to send receipt and how to do it.

    See its now resolved itself :)

    I will pass on that one. Hope you are OK.

    If only GFK had this option. Did a phone shop and I have no idea if it was a man or a woman. Had funkyish hair all spiked and stuff, and I know both men and women do this. I tried seeing if the person had baps, but they had baggy clothing on and I could not make it out. The person was not caucasian and the name did not make it obvious if it was a man or a woman. And they didn't sound feminine or masculine, so I was very confused. Really embarrassing. I had to put a note on saying "I was unsure if the Sales Consultant was a male or female. I have ticked female, but if I chose the wrong option I apologise in advance"

    You forgot the men with the thick 'Tim Minchin' eyeliner too- one of these in Dundee Odeon...

    Hi I did my first mystery shop yesterday, it was the jewellery shop for Bare. I struggled to find anything within the price bracket as the prices seemed more than on the web site. The shop was really busy with it being valentines weekend. I managed and went to have a coffee to check over my notes to make sure that I had not missed anything. The only thing was the opening hours on the exterior so luckily I didnt have to go back in. The thing was that I felt so stressed that I left my package in the coffee shop!!!!!!!!!!! Was really lucky that 10 minutes later when I went back they had not cleared the table and my package was still there! :j
    I am just going to keep it although its not something I would normally wear.

    Dear me.

    You seem to be the only one complaining that we are complaining. You obviously have nothing better to do than be sat in front of your computer with the screen open hitting refresh.

    For me and many others, we will be out and about, maybe even driving - an email comes in (and I see it 'cos I have my phone in a holder on the dashboard) so I have to find somewhere to stop, so I can safely log on - in some areas with poor signal this can take ages - and then to see a duplicate alert is very, very frustrating and time consuming.

    So THATS why we ask people to take a mere from their lives to CHECK they aren't posting a duplicate post.

  • Has anyone had any edig surveys allocated to them lately? I applied for loads 9 days ago but they're still shown as pending. I just wonder if they've all been allocated? They were hotels and travel sites and airlines mainly.

    I applied about 9 days ago and received 3 of the same type of travel ones all at once, a few days later. Had to be in today.

    Also, I had been queueing around christmastime for ages for several supermarket online shops and received nothing.

    Anyone know the allocation criteria?
