    Tried to do an MF job yesterday but the place was closed for refurbishment. Anyone know what happens in this scenario? I would expect them to still pay the fee, but the site didn't explain anything.

    I did one and it was a closed site they sent to me. I took a picture (just in case). When I came to fill in the report I put it down as a failed visit and explained why. They did pay me the full visit fee in this case.

    I was not sure so only taking on one so far in a village near me. The brief looks very similar to a job I did with Assosia recently but that was 'overt' so this my be more of a challenge.

    I will just do one and see how it goes..

    I've picked up a few think I might try and take lots of pics and fill in the form after.

    It says in the brief the jogger is condensed version of the questionnaire to record the data on so it looks less conspicuous. Are they being serious there's no way you could stand in front of the chiller which is probably by the till and fill that form in without being noticed.

    I thought about taking pictures as well as the form is quite detailed. The ones on my board are really small shops and will struggle to do this covertly. Hopefully the chiller won't be next to the cash desk. I find out tomorrow..

    I'm just off to do one just round the corner. I hope it won't be either.

    There are two useful tools for doing that sort of thing.

    One's technology, the other's bull****.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
