    How do you do 16-24 shops and reports in 24 hours. that is a very tough ask. driving time + shop + report will take 1-2 hours. are you planning on not sleeping?

    15 minute shop plus tablet computer with dongle to do report in car before going to next location...and pray harder than a monestary :D

    How long do RE payments usually take to clear into your bank? The site is showing they paid me on 25th but its not showing yet. I was hoping it might after 3 days.

    Also, is there any way of seeing statements/payments on TNS?

    Some MSC asks if you have experience doing audits, merchandising, and etc. I don't have those experience but would like to get some if it means more work. It would at least be better when filling out the profile questionnaire to say I have a little experience rather than just putting a No. Any pointers?

    Honesty is always the best policy with these companies as they do check up on these things and have gotten rid of shoppers for doing it.

    I'd sign up and once your in then tell them you are interested in getting involved in auditing and merchandising too.

    I have done a burger visit for gap, and I am scared as the toilets were filthy, and I wrote that, I also took pictures, because I know I will get query. I really hate writing bad reports for them, because people here say they don’t like them. I thought I will be honest, because in that state if I went to the toilet check before my meal it would defiantly put me off my food.

    I did burger shops before and normally after asking for receipt they start cleaning but these lot clearly can’t be bothered.

    Another burger shop I did, this week, as soon I asked for receipt it was like a war siren everyone was in a mission to impress me.

    Two funny incidents, the dining cleaning lady came and cleaned the table next to me ( twice) then while she was cleaning it, a weird customer was trying to chat her up. She said "she is working she can’t chat", he then started saying how rude the staff are they don’t give him time to chat to him bla blah, the girl turned red and left, poor thing.

    Then I go to make my toilet visit, the manager follows me ( male) knocks on the door and start spraying air freshener (in the washing area) so another customer comes out from a cubicle and start having a go at him for doing so, as she is allergic to the stuff looool

    Got my TNS statement in the post this morning and money in the bank when I logged in to check it. :)
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.
