First time have seen this one come up on Gapbuster. Is it worth it, and any hints and tips?

I did a TNS Blue stripes the other day. It was a main supermarket and there seemed to be loads to be done.

Thanks in advance

thrifty, they are very straightforward to be honest, tickbox questionairre too, simple jobs in comparison to TNS supermarkets (especially the larger ones, can spend up to an hour sometimes with those ones)

Anyone else finding it impossible to pass GFK's phone test? I've got the notes printed out beside me so I know my answers are correct!

The large TNS supermarkets are becomming a PITA for the fee to be honest. Although it's bascally reimbursement only the GAP one is far simpler to do.

Thank you for your input. I do think TNS are expecting a bit much so won't be doing them now unless I am visiting the storeanyway.You're right the last one took ages - plus I had to ask for Brussel sprouts:rotfl::rotfl:

generally if you start getting recognised and it gets reported back

The GAPburgers round here have a new trick when their MS is due, "Would you like your receipt?", I of course say yes, and then they give the old 'Five star chicken nuggets' to the staff behind the counter...

I always know they've figured out I'm the MSer because of the floor show, 99% of the time, but whenever there's a query and they send back a description, it's nothing like me, which I firmly inform Gap.

Queries aren't a problem for Gapburger, I've had several - if you say anything negative, pretty much - and you send back an email to clarify and everything is fine. Just FYI.

So you have been a customer of one the GFK banks for years and have to ask a question that either makes you a complete numpty or a mystery shopper :wall:
