As the first page list of companies is a list that regulars work for and no one actually seems to work for Insight- even if they are registered with them, I won't bother adding them, at least not at the moment.

I've done a few jobs for Insight in the past year but I've heard nothing from QDOS. While we're discussing companies, I think Frontline Focus should come with a warning of some kind since they pay late and/or don't pay in full.

Worked for QDOS twice in the last year, I don't think they have many clients, but the work I did was good and they paid without fuss. Communication from them is good as well. I know they don't need shoppers all over the place a la MF or Gap.

Well folks I suppose it had to happen sometime. 3 months in and I had an absolute stinker of a visit today. A member of staff who was being cheerful and helpful to other people decided I wasn't going to be served. I was treated like the invisible man for half-an-hour until I gave up and left.

I've done the report, but goodness knows what they will make of it. I'll just have to wait and see what approach the company takes.

It has reinforced for me that there are some things that nobody with a working internet connection should ever buy from a shop.

Has anyone been paid by GFK yet? Mine isn't in the bank - it usually arrives on 10th without fail.

There is something sitting there waiting to clear on Monday morning but not sure who has paid yet. I suspect it is GfK and RA from the amount.

Yeah, got my tiny GfK payment paid into my account on the 10 Jan.

Qdos do have a fair few clients, but they also have regulars who get most of the work.

Re the Gfk stars job - one has popped up in my area for what is a working man's club. Is this the "norm" or can I anticipate more normal pubs - not been in one of these for a long time and recall you need membership to get in the place?. I can't see how you can do this without getting access to the bar area where these things are displayed. Some major blagging needed here..

The briefing notes do tell you what to do if this is the case. I can see lots of them is lots of normal places.
