    On 10th April I did a GR report for a fashion store.

    Why has it taken almost a fortnight - I would not use Easter as an excuse as it's just two working days late to query my assessment?

    They raised this for the 2nd query

    You say that the staff member seemingly did not respond to your enquiry, but what did they actually do??

    I put down 'they didn't say anything'. The assistant never looked at me or responded to me. I could not remember what exactly the assistant was doing at the time I approached her.

    Why are GR not accepting ''didn't say anything' when it was the case?

    I put 'when I approached the staff member about the enquiry, she did not look up or respond to me. Was looking at some paperwork.

    If I did some jobs for Bare at the beginning of this month, before the 5th, am I likely to get paid this month do you think or will it be next month? Such a long wait if it'll be next month :(

    I read it that the member of staff ignored you totally when you made your enquiry and basically didn't help


    Perhaps you are referring to the initial response being poor after which you were assisted?


    I have to say I've never had a member of staff completely ignore me when I've gone and approached them for assistance so I'm not surprised GR would want to double check as it's terrible service!

    Likely that it has come back from the client as they are not usually that tardy.

    They usually pay around the 26th or 27th of the month following your visit, (Paypal payments seem to come out 5-7 days before that) that is pretty standard for those paying once a month.

    Talking of payments, place your bets now on whether Gap will actually manage to pay on time this month ;)

    Lets place bets on who will moan about gap payments first and threaten to quit, that's more interesting lol.

    Well I've stayed true to my word and not done any jobs for them at all this month and if they are late again with payments this month will continue to do so until they sort themselves out.
