I love my iPhone 4, done loads of phone shops recently but not seen anything I like as much. However if I get another "your phone bill is £80.23" text next month I'll be less than pleased. Bring back unlimited data!!!

I have a HTC Hero and I use the voice recorder most of the time especially when I do the burger jobs as you just click record leave it next to you and you can just speak as you go along for ex. just say queue, and then the rest gets recorded.When you finish just listen back and all the timings are there.
My husband has bought me a watch for Christmas which records but doesn't have any lights so you can't see it's recording, it was expensive but it works great!So much less to remember.

I went to a forum with the burger co last year where some store and area managers were given the opportunity to meet shoppers and representatives from gap. One of the restaurant managers suggested "why can't you do video assessments?" :rotfl: they obviously don't realise what gap pay us!!!

AHH just done my first gap burger and I'm still so confused it keeps telling me that the timings I have put down are too slow and I've kept checking but it still doesn't agree. On the point of giving up with it, it's not worth it for the fee I don't think and the food has made me feel sick, I don't even like them!

Is one of the screening questions for this work not "Do you like fast food?"

There seems to be alot of suggestion on here that people ignore the brief and the restrictions just to get the bits and pieces of money on offer, without adhering to the requirements, and therefore not doing the job properly.

How naive am I being that I take the requirements seriously and do the jobs in the spirit and letter of the rules that the MS companies set up?

If I don't like the rules I won't do the job.

The Iphone sees to be hallowed as THE phone to have. However when I went into a phone shop (as a regular customer not an MSer) I was reccomended the Galaxy but a staff member who warned me against iphones due to the premiums slapped on Apple products and said the same as you that all the other companies are catching up and making phones as good as if not better than the iphone.

Still not sure whether I want a blackberry or a galaxy, both are within my price range.

Yes there is a premium with apple products, but they also hold their value much better than other phones! I sold my 2 year old 16GB iPhone 3G for £179, my 32GB iPhone 4 cost me £189....no brainer really.

I'm the same as Lucy, I voice record my shops and take the timing from there. I'm screwed if the recording fails, but thus far this has never happened.

I know a veggie who does gapburger assignments. I have issues with this because a) it's not assessing the food correctly which could result in the restaurant receiving a score higher than it should and b) I thought veggies were supposed to "not contribute to the suffering of animals by purchasing animal products", very odd!

It's also quite probably outright lying. It's one of the questions you get asked when accepting the jobs and I doubt they take "yes" for an answer.

Good afternoon, feeling a bit flu like this afternoon has anybody got a contact number for GFK please as I don't think I can complete an assignment tomorrow and can not reschedule.
