    I replied to an assosia email yesterday asking for people to do cinema audits. I was given a job but they've not told me the fee - is this normal for them?

    no.

    but neither is listing their name and the type of jobs they do, they dont like that very much at all.:p

    Ah cool. Maybe I'll be okay then. I have another one tomorrow so at least now I know what to expect.
  • Some smart proof reader at MF has decided to give me a 2 point penalty for not submitting my report within 24 hours from the job completion ....... except the assignment notes actually state the report had to be in by 12pm the following day (which it was) ... :wall:

    And if the points actually meant anything it would be worth arguing with them but as they don't it's not

    The company that own MF mentioned to me this week that they look at those points and choose a section of shoppers to show each job to. I was asked to choose certain things, then they would identify me for other tasks. Curious. Have to say, I have lost all respect since they expect people to visit supermarkets for less than the price of a chocolate multipack.

    A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work

    Umm.. Wonder why I can always see everything that's alerted about then? Like most things this company says I will take it with a pinch of salt. I have zero respect for them too.
  • Just did a burger shop for Gap and once I had ordered and asked for a receipt the girl shouted over to someone in the back "Could I have a GAP chicken burger please". It was all I could do not to burst out laughing.
