Haven't posted on here for a while as I'm doing 2 jobs at the mo which pay miles more than ms'ing!

Anyway, I haven't received the scandalous email from the company-who-cannot-be-named. Anyone care to pm me the details?

The gist of the email was just that they had caught shoppers not doing their job properly and if you get caught you get sacked. Pretty fair to be honest with you.

Just in case anyones interested I have released 4 travel jobs on ESA in Bristol area. Store was closed when I visited, called them to say and got awful service, no pay, and a snooty response. Not working for people that treat their shoppers like that for pittance pay!

complain again...i had a closed clothes/homeware shop and took a pic. i was told to submit report with pic i took and i got full pay (no reimb but i was happy with the fee for taking a pic and taking 30 secs for a report!)

I did two jobs for gap last month. They say have been approved and obviously I have done them. How will I know if they are going to pay me?

No news is good news. Jobs done in March will be paid around the 24th April, but who knows when considering all the bank holidays we've got coming up.

Yes, wasn't as scandalous as I thought it was going to be. When I read the first comment about it, it made it sound like the company were doing something scandalous, and how did they think they would get away with it!
But was the shoppers not doing things right and thinking they could get away with it!

I think the drama queen in me misunderstood the OP about it and tried to sensationalise it!!

I must admit I was really shocked by shoppers lying like that (perhaps I'm naive?) on that project. I once accidentally nearly uploaded an old file, and the system saw it and warned me. Do people not realise that 'taken on' data is part of the digital file?

Me too, I think there's no point doing the job if you don't do it properly, cos then what is the point of it, its not telling the company anything. The only time I made a real bloomer was when I forgot to take a photo, but fortunately a quick message on here, and someone was going the next day, so took one for me. Of course, I've had blank moments and completely forgotten assistant's names before I got to my car, etc but a description has usually been accepted.
I don't know what it is, specifically, people have done wrong, not having got the email, but presumably it refers to repeat offenders over something serious?

Ahh thanks. I missed that post! Glad I have nothing to worry about then.

Alright, who snaffled the dropped watery earth job this morning? I was on the phone with RE at 9:05 offering to pick it up and someone swooped in 2 seconds sooner!

Not guilty! Have only done one pizza job for them lately. I've been missing out on all the good jobs with RE as someone has been snapping them up left, right and centre. Wish they would take the pubs and pharmacys too.
