    I went into our favourite phone shop today...not for work purposes. I marched in, said what I wanted, and paid for it. Assistant never said a word. I can't decide if she thought I was MS'ing and therefore not going to buy, but the service was appalling (as expected). To top it off, a man in a very expensive coat walked past, and she said to me that it was the founder of the chain, come to say happy christmas. Part of me really wanted to tell him what a nightmare the jobs were :)

    Ooh how tempting, I'd have had the same urge!

  • I done a phone shop yesterday, the mos literally said to me I'm the wrong person to recommend a phone. Lol I was in there 6 mins, this included browsing time.

    I did ten of those phone shops over two waves and was glad that there was no more near me to do. It was the reports I found excruciating 'please comment on all the positives and negatives' almost as bad as a certain Scandinavian clothes store can you provide a 'camera view in words of your visit' from the time you enter the store till you leave. It seems to be flavour of the month to provide a description of what you did when you stepped into the store until you exited and why you said yes and no for each question...
  • I think it was a different phone shop, with a fairly simple form to fill out

    I don't have that many phone shops near me - but I have done 3 so far and got paid for 2 today.

    Still no payment from Gap though - maybe I should chase them?
  • No payment for me either from GAP. But they still call me up for urgent visits..... not doing any more until I get paid for what they owe me :)

    Gap payments can just appear in the bank during the day, so it may still turn up.
  • RA have a seasonal bonus on Sunday, if anyone hasn't seen the message. Extra money if you do 5 jobs that day. Don't think I will, as it's getting much harder to get any kind of decent service at weekends now that it's silly season. And as for trying to park the car, well, it could be time to sprout wings :)

    A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work

    As Cybi-Ping says, GAP payments just tend to appear in your bank acct and, oddly, in the afternoon. Their payments also don't show as pending when I check my online bank.

    I'm fully expecting payment to be in some time today.
