Well done. There seem to be lots of work going on at the moment. Getting my spare days booked up very well. Is the rate kind of good or not for the fizzy pop?

I thought it was low to be honest for my area, but fine if there are lots together in walking distance, but the ones i saw were all 15-20 mins driving distance without traffic apart, so not that great

Did a few jobs with GFk, this week, but one store was completely closed down. What percentage of the original fee would be reasonable? I visited, and made enquiries to see if it had moved nearby. 50%?

100% i think

you went there and reported back

Will know when I get the instructions and questionnaire later today. 4 of them are on the same road so wont be too long, I haven't taken the school ones as I see enough of one learning establishment from 9-5. The rate at the mo is a gap burger i think. which is fine if its a 10 min job.

Im hoping this will lead onto some regular work from said company like how the 'fleece' job is. I know its useful to know you have something guaranteed when your having a slow month.

N.I.M

Are the pop jobs with the fleece company or the other one we dont mention, especially around the dinner table?

Normally says on the coversheet, and it's normally half the fee. I've done a few phone shops for them that were shut at the time I went, and they offered me 50%, definitely NOT 100%!!!

I had a shop which had closed early for the day and they gave me 50% of the fee for that attempt, plus rearranged it for another day which was very helpful of them.

I would imagine they'd give you 50%. Did you get a photo? I had of mine and that helped.

Yeah, always take a photo, so if the store has closed early or opened late, they can't argue with you.

Speak to MEENA, she is really helpful. Just been offered double the fee for a hoover shop, but I'm too busy this week. :mad::mad:

They offered 50p short of 50%, so that's OK.

And someone just said 100%! LOLS. Glad you got something back, better than nothing. With RE, you would have had to and fro x 50 times before you get any sense out of them!

Have ESA lost the travel enquiry shop as that very company was just on GR. Eeeeek.

Once when that happened to me with GfK I was given 100%, no questions asked. I took a picture. Maybe it was because they had rang me up to ask me to do the visit, I don't know.

I think its a competitor visit for the other travel outfit that GR do.
