Anyone done a chemist audit for GFK before? How long do they usually take?

I think the last one I did took me nearly 4 hours and I said I would never do one again for that fee. It just wasn't worth it. And my feet were killing me after.

But, good luck, you may enjoy them and you'll probably do them in less time than me. (I'm old and unfit!)

The trick is to start at the back of the shop and work up one aisle, back down the next and not double back on yourself.

The first one I did was awful. The next one was much better. They now take me less time to do them than what GFK say.

Word-for-word, that's my experience. So for anyone considering doing it, do think about whether it's something you'd do on a regular basis and if you have the time to spend improving and getting quicker. If you would just do it as a one-off, absolutely not worth it.

I did that (though started at the front) - following the shop layout rather than the order on the paperwork - and it still took me a bloomin' age!

That's because there are no jobs, the time frame for the quickies is up this weekend and we've all been bribed with mileage to cover them.

Apart from the 100 or so they have just emailed about that are still not covered.

Hi that sounds like the premotion setting

What you need to do is unrig it from your shirt.. and format the sd card in the unit..

ensure you click record and preview..

start your camera wiggle all your wires around... see if thats the issue.

if its not happening then you are recording on the premotion button

Hi, does anybody know when Assosia make their payments now? I haven't completed any work for them for a while, they used to send you an invoice and payments were twice a month but I believe they've changed this now. Thanks.

Wow, I didn't know that and I've worked for them for years. Their payments do seem to be getting later each month though. At one time they did the run around the 15th but now it seems to be at least the 17th. I'm expecting them to do it on Monday. I hope so anyway, as they owe me a lot and I could do with it. :T
