Do React give scores for all of their reports or just some of them. I've been waiting a while for a score to appear, but nothing. It was my first one, so I was curious about how I'd done.

I only have scores for 6/11 of my reports, and one of the ones without was my first one. I don't know why. If you want to know email them and they'll probably be able to give you some info.

anybody else having sues with gfk website?

Yes!

I've got a job outstanding from yesterday. I've filled in the report but it crashes and I get an error message when I click on validation.

I emailed them yesterday and they said it was fixed and to try again, but it crashed in the same place. I emailed them back to say but I've not had a response yet. I'm not sure if they work weekends though.

Hope I don't lose the job. It was a complex phone call one and the call ended up lasting about 45 mins! It was a good call though and I've learned some useful stuff

I did 2 this week and both have been proof read. Think the cut off has also been and gone since the last one has gone for payment on 25th instead of 10th.

Maybe some jobs have a higher priority than others depending on the deadline they have agreed with the client to get all the reports to them?

Yeah it's definitely been and gone as the one that was proofread is in for the 25th. The one that has been done had optional date into next week which means nothing of course as the client may insist on reports with 48hrs etc of the visit being done. It just seemed really strange as there is a visit that was done a week ago still waiting to be done.

I only get proofreading queries when I give them bad reports. It's like they are trying to trip me up so they can change it to a good report. Maybe I should just give them all good reports and never get hassled again by Mel and her cronies! Just kidding.

For anyone that has a GR supermarket with a booze purchase ... PLEASE take photographic id. I'm late 20's and looked about late 50's today as didn't sleep at all last night. Would not let me buy the booze because I looked underrage and didn't have proof. Left my wallet at home with driving licence. !!!!!!! I've done this store about 5 times before and no one bats an eyelid. Hope I get paid.

I find that what I wear makes a big difference with this! I'm early 30's and when I go in midweek wearing office wear they don't bat an eyelid, but when I go in at the weekend wearing a hoodie etc I'll get ID'd every time.

Cheeky sods.

I looked rough as funk today. Didn't even shave. A girl and a boy got booze just before me and they looked 15, no one asked them for id! Totally uncool. I have a feeling GR will fail the quality control check and I won't get paid. Oh well. Did an egg shops and the eggs were reduced to 50p, woohoo!

3 visits to do on Monday and then that's it.

They may ask you to revisit, although this is done to make sure that the MOS is checking so theoretically they have done their job. I never get asked anymore. 6 years of nightshifts makes you age believe me :eek:

I hope that doesn't catch on, they will reduce the fee again and will soon be asking us to pay them for the privilege.

I am getting a bit fed up of companies expecting us to complete the reports on time and within the specified timescale and then themselves do not keep to their timescales. It is now June and am still awaiting payment from Catalyst for early April jobs. Emailed ABAI about pay for jobs completed beginning of May and they have not even had the decency to reply. Yet any hint of us getting something wrong and that's it no pay! Double standards in my mine and makes me wary of working for them.
