    I have done this twice with RE pizza shops, so I cheated. I was not going all the way back to take a photo! I GOOGLEd the shop, looked for images of it and hey presto. Job's a good un! :p:D

    EUGH!

    Have just done a petrol visit for React.

    Address said it was on a major road. Address postcode sent me to minor road close to the major road. No petrol station on the minor road, but 2 with the wrong postcode on the major road. By looking at the map, I think I chose the right one on the major road - the road name on receipt is the same, but company owning the franchise is different and obviously, the postcode is different!

    What a palaver!

    Over the years, I have come across many petrol station jobs that give incorrect post codes. If I'm heading for a petrol station that I don't know, the Googlemaps map/satellite composite facility is great because petrol stations show up very clearly and you can then use street view to look at the branding (and also double check on the fuel company's website). I presume that you were relying only on SatNav? In your situation, I'd have checked the location when the job was first assigned to me, and probably would have queried it with React before visiting if there was a potential problem. Better that than risk not getting paid!

    No RE. I would be even more upset if I went back took the photo then realised I didnt need it!

    AH! I've only done the Gap ones, RE Chick/chips probably aren't near me in Scotland, which is why I was baffled...

    Did give this thought but then thought what if they figure its lifted from the net? (not sure how they would) dont really want to lose RE, Im finding it a steady little stream of jobs. Especially as Bare and React keep knocking me back for jobs. I feel like the ugly kid at school tryin to get a girlfriend..:(
