    Got to the corner shop audit at just gone 5, to find it closed

    I always wondered who does those those audits on a Saturday night or Sunday....

    I was in the supermarket today where there was a job for the sports drinks - whoever picked that one up would have an easy number as I could not see the said sports drink on display. Too much Xmas tat on display. Must try your approach next time it comes up as this one seems to come around regularly.

    I wouldn't go out of my way to do one, but if it ties in with other stuff. Why not? This is my part-time/weekend job, so it's no different to working late in the day job really.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    After doing the main photo discretely but still needing to walk the store for secondary locations, ending at the checkout, with no customers and a bored member of staff "Have you got a cashpoint in here mate?" "Yeah, it's there [2 feet away]" "'kin hell, can you tell I've been on nightshifts?"

    "Whoa - Vanilla coke, didn't know you can get that anymore. That's going on facebook"

    Lying is a skill, just like any other.

    And sounding like a nutjob is an artform....
    Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk

    That just comes naturally to me. Especially if I forget to take my tablets in the morning.

  • Late night burger.. after a long weekend. 20 min journey. Pull up. order food. sorted. Oh hang on. I'm 10 min early s*it.

    Go through again. "Can't believe my brother asked me to get him some food just after I leave here eh mate? what's he like?"

    2 min after leaving for the second time I pull up to do timings etc. Hang on? Wheres my receipt? b*llocks!

    Back for the 3rd time. said Im a bit anal about having receipts. Felt like such a tool.

    If your late night visits are anything like mine, the premiums are pretty good......so, in the same circumstances, I'd have done exactly the same.

    I did one on an enhanced fee - not sure I would do one at their normal rate as was in there an hour.

    Used to do quite a bit for Esa but last few months done very little. Hopefully pick up in New year.

    ESA used to do decent premiums when jobs sat but that's all changed, Rarely do work for them now.
