I can't face any more phone shops.

I know what you mean - the thought of another Phone Shop fills me with dread. Here in the 'Shires' there is still a lot left - I waiting to see what comes through for next week and may steel myself for a round in the south of the county as nothing on the books thus far. Hopefully something will come in as you never know in this job. Thought I would get more than one job out of Helion PC/tablet round. Pending on five jobs which disappeared this PM and all that left now is car audits (again). Not sure I will bother with Helion again as their brief was 62 slides for one job - you live and learn.

I just had this happen for the first time. (Have only done a handful of jobs so I will know from now on )

I went onto Google view and had a look at what was there -- so here's hoping it's not out of date. x

Be weary of Google maps. In this current climate shops open and close so frequently. The advice to take a pic from far enough that you can see both sides of store makes plenty of sense.

We've all got home and thought b*ll*cks, I forgot the pic or forgot the left and right. Its what makes you more accurate and methodical.

Sometimes the kind denziens of these threads will also help a fellow shopper out with left and rights. After all, we all have the odd brainfart.

I saw the post and had to have a look, although I rarely think they have any work worth doing. I agree its dodgy, doesn't feel legal -I think it's sharp practice.

Here's a dilemma. Supposing you work on a temp contract for the supermarket in question in a relevant department at head office and moonlight as an MS'er.

Obviously you don't touch the IMS job with a barge pole (& for the money who would? You couldn't do 4+ of them an hour and even make the minimum wage.) ....but would any of you be tempted to 'leak?'

Im guessing you resolved your dilemma... the job has been put on hold till further notice....

OMG - the beds are back on MF - they are going linger to Xmas. Why don't they increase fee, then they would shift.

I wish somebody would take those Irish jobs on ESA as they have been on there for weeks.

Rant over...

The beds are all gone in my area and I have to say I'm not guilty of taking one!

Hi folks - how much responsibility do I have for keeping people to script? I did a phone job yesterday for the first time. Having watched the video I was astonished that what unfolded bore absolutely no relation to the sales process I expected. Should I try to cover some of the areas missed or just move on and report?
One reason I'm asking is that there are a couple.more I could do, but the report took some time and I'm concerned there will be prolonged dialogue about 'missed' areas. Is it worth it, in short!

Re. limit of seven TNS phone jobs per (latter) wave. How do you tell which wave any particular listed job is in? The closing dates have been shifted about so much, it seems impossible to tell. Or is the limit of seven now there to be ignored?
