    Hi, I have just completed my first assignment for GfK. I have worked for MF for a long time and am used to being able to see if the assignment has been accepted and when it will be paid, but with GfK, I can't see this sort of info anywhere. Will I get notification if I have done it correctly etc?

    Also, do you REALLY have to print everything off as it says?

    thank you

    They will be in touch if there are any queries otherwise youwon’t hear anything.



    As for printing the info off, if you click on each of thelinks it will appear that you have printed the required info off. In this ageof smart phones I find it unnecessary to print everything as i can simplyaccess it before i go in to the shop.
  • I'm getting frustrated at the minute with all the time restrictions on half of these jobs! Only the one day on the frozen stores, in between certain times on the fast supermarkets (I know this has always been but its so annoying!) and du know what will happen? Your get an email to cover outside these times or dates, just to get it covered! Just noticed on a fast supermarket I could pick any date up to the 17th feb!!! Arrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh!
  • I'm with you on that. I can't cover half of the frozen stores, as it's all for the same day, and I have work for other companies. So perhaps they don't get covered, and that seems stupid, when I could do them on the next day. It's going to end up costing them more. Even if the scenario is just blindingly daft.

    A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work
  • I hate the questions on the ESA frozen shops, surely no one on earth can be this daft. On this scenario have they purposely got the brand name wrong? As far as I know this brand don't make that product.

    I am assuming its to see if the MOS actually goes looking for the product. I can see these taking a while this time as the intellect of some of the MOS in these stores appears to fall short in places. But unless they have discovered an aquatic version of chicken this company do not do the product

    Quick question, what are the payment dates for RA. I thought they were 10th and 25th but I've had no payment for 25th. Been with them only a short while and this would be my second payment, first one came through fine.
  • Hiya, I'm new here and have done 7/8 shops over the last week and now trying to sort out some kind of record keeping. Does anyone have a link or would be able to email me a spreadsheet which would help get me started? I've tried to set up a spreadsheet of my own in excel but driving myself insane trying to work it all out!!

    Thanks :)
  • I was hoping that Weeg would put this information on the front page for potential shoppers but she has been too busy to do it, so my apologies for putting the information on this page, but would hate shoppers in Manchester and London to miss out. I've worked for this company for a few years and can recommend them, unfortunately they need shoppers many miles from me!

    Hi there

    I've just started mystery shopping and have completed my first assignment for Gapbusters (a fast food one). I was just wondering if its really necessary to print off all the paperwork each time? Although I printed it all off for my first assignment, I didn't seem to need it as all the questions are filled in online. If I just kept a record of my timings, order, fees etc for any future queries - would that be sufficient?

    What does everyone else do?

    Thanks

    Me personally I tend to print out the lot with GAP purely as you will need to note the timings, the time in/out and you need the web code at the end of the paperwork.

    Be aware that gap are really tight with their turnaround if they have a query. Most other companies I just print the brief but that was only after getting into the swing of it so to speak.
    Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
