As always, thanks Mimi. Don't suppose you can see which RA the payments are for. I had a 2 out of 3 'ask for a brand in the electrical shop' payments, but the reimbursements was slightly wrong.
Thanks again.

RA are a pain in the backside for this, you can't see what has been paid for which job, reimbursements are always screwed up and bonus payments paid late. I'm never 100% sure I'm being paid properly.

Ive seen the brief for the department stores, are you sure there are no attachments to view

It's the bookselling newsagents but I think I will give it a miss. I'm not keen on the assembling FSDU (or whatever they are), jobs, I might break a nail or something.

Thanks for the info though. Appreciate it.

AKA those cardboard display things that people walk into.
Putting them up isn't an issue it's getting the store staff to find them and give you the stock that is the real time drain. I've got no brief as it's showing as not available to print but they have allowed an hour for these so you shouldn't be too bad.

I will definitely give this a miss. Did something like this for Donkeyocia once and never again. It was going to take 30 minutes and I was there over 3 hours.

I'm not big on merchandising. I prefer simple not carry things around ms visits.

Hello - I'm a part-time mystery shopper... In the US...
The reason I'm here is that we recently made an iPhone app for MS'ing after I couldn't find a discreet one for notes and exact timings. I got it into my head how to better harness the features of a smart phone on shops, and one thing led to another.

I've been sincerely surprised at how many of the downloads have come from the UK (about 12%), so I went looking for information and landed on this forum.

May I share the name of the app here? There is a free lite version, and I would also love to give out a few promo codes so some of you with iPhones or iPods could try it. Thank you -

nope you may not unfortunately as self promotion is usually considered spam without permission from the forum mods

Anyone done the Central London restaurant counts for React? Just looked at the brief and noticed a couple of odd criteria, wondering if others had got around this...

Fair enough - thank you.

Nope, not Jobslinger, but our lite version IS free... Just doesn't have the stop-watch feature. (I'm just a person, not associated with any ms companies).
