Done 4 of mine on Friday. Relatively quick work once you've explained why your there (all 4 didn't have a clue what it was about) and signed in. 25-30 min tops in store.

Yeah one or two I went into they were like "Have you got permission I know nothing of this" until i explained. It is relatively quick, only thing is trying to juggle the paper work and change the sims if there's nowhere to put your stuff down on!

Well. I've had quite the 'mare of a weekend. MS Pub Lunch on Friday. Worked away at my other job all Friday afternoon. Fell asleep on the sofa at 5. Had a couple of drinks with other half when I woke up. Then crashed. And then spent all of Sat throwing up - when I had another 2 shops in the book. Sunday I felt human enough to eat, and, but not to drive to a toy shop. Cancelled toy shop. Lunch shop (postponed from yesterday) shut. And I'm not even sure friday lunch's shop report submitted ok. Bah Humbug.

Welcome to a new week.

I managed 6 of mine on Friday. My first was a bit obstructive so I changed my opening line at the rest and claimed I was from property which opened the door for me. I have 2 phones which also helps to make them pretty quick jobs

Im not doing the speed tests as Im midlands based but ive never had an issue doing any visit in that particular company
Just walk to the office and ask to sign in to do an audit and most staff never question anything or see an authorisation other than do i need to speak to dept manager when im done.


check your emails too

Iv just had some bare assisgnments allocated that i applied for ages ago and only had one allocated at the time, the others have been added now



also lots of one off late night audit/merchandising to do tonight listed on fieldstar
not certain which company its with though, to be done tonight between 9pm-12am

Good morning all. Shame those late night audits aren't in Wales, wouldn't have minded a couple of those. When did MF start the restriction on jobs? I'm sure you used to be able to apply for more than one of the same job - only just noticed it's changed. Surely that makes it even more pointless to pick up the low paid supermarkets?

I did want to get more done but tried to do the furthest out first. was in Lincoln at 4.30 and realised I was too nackered to go to Leicester seeing as I had to get up to fly to Ireland at 4am!

Can you expand on what you told em? send me a PM if possible please. I might actually email GFK and let them know that it might be worth resending the memo to store managers.

Not the first time they have done this, didn't get an email but I've been allocated some, thanks for the heads up.
