I expected to download the briefing notes. But it said that you wouldn't be paid if you didn't print the notes.

I don't know if they can tell if you print them or not. I download them all and some I print out if it's a complicated job to refresh my mind before i go to do it, others I don't as they are simple.
I HAVE been refused payment by Gap as I had two identical jobs and only downloaded one set of instructions.

I find as long as you open them they never query it.

I have just been accepted for GFK and have completed their test. I noticed that it said that if you do not print briefing notes you will not be paid. When I have done assignments for other companies I usually just write notes out by hands. Is it true what GFK say about printing?

If you open them they don't know if you've printed them or not, I tend to save them on my computer to save the printing costs and be 'green'.

N.I.M

I generally print them as a PDF. They've never specified what you need to print them on.

I accepted 3 jobs from them and cancelled each once I saw the brief, which was never available until after I accepted. Although the 3rd one they also halfed the fee on me after I accepted the job so that's why I told them to stuff it.

The Bare issue can be gotten around, if you can get it done quickly for them then email the wonderful Monica and she sometimes will overlook the shopper rating to get it done fast.

Yay they assigned me it!
Think probably because it is due by Saturday haha

Surely that depends on how many posts per page you have it set as? We normally start a new one after about 4000 posts, which is pretty much where we are.

Can anyone start the new one? I'll volunteer if you want, unless someone else would like the honour?

Go for it!

I'm officially a wuss. Got a lecture and booted out doing covert photos in a supermarket last week. doing another today, staff everywhere. Hands shaking too much to take photos! Feel very stupid.

Is the for the company who cannot be named? I had that issue too.

they are a right pain

i usually do these as cover when the other person in the area was busted a few times.

Ive managed to pull it off with a cunning method, but last time the store manager and assistant manager were stacking shelves on that aisle !!!

just seemed too much of a set up, and i had to delay under my other guise but then quickly get them 15 mins later when the manager moved to another aisle.
Not sure the fee is worth it at all for these to be honest.
