Well at we are at the time of year Where an abundance of merchandising happens in the run up to the C word, for those that like merchandising of course.

Excuse my ignorance but what exactly is merchandising? is it relatively easy to do?

Is anyone else having issues with Bare payments being down? I can't decide whether my bank are taking an extra fee for international payments or whether Bare are paying the wrong amount.

Mine was a bit lower than on the bare website as well. I think it is because of the lower exchange rate at the time of payment. (ie, bare convert from euros to pounds twice. once when they tell you how much they'll pay you and once when they actually pay you.)

Is there any way to see an Albatross brief, before applying for the job?

Does anyone MS for Grassroots?

If so have you noticed that they seem to be really slow at paying?

Did a couple of visits for them back at the beginning of July and previously would have expected to get paid on the 15th but didn't get paid until the end of the month and the same seems to be happening this month as well

I agree that they use to be a lot quicker in paying. I've had to chase them a couple of times.

Has anyone ever done any work for Mystery Shoppers Ltd? I haven't been paid yet. I read that payment is within 28 days of completion so it's not due yet but just wondering if anyone has had any experience with them.
not due yet.

Be careful if you are tempted to go for one of the latest MF Pub Chain food & drink jobs.
Read the brief carefully as the Permitted drinks on list A and List B are totally different and permitted food has changed too.
Sad face, my favourite tipple has bitten the dust!

Has anyone ever done any work for Mystery Shoppers Ltd? I've done one assignment so far. They appear to pick up assignments other companies have difficulty in allocating. I haven't been paid yet. I read that payment is within 28 days of assignment completion. Just wondering if anyone knows how true that really is.

I've worked regularly with them for several years and have always found that they pay promptly, usually within 28 days.

Why would we assume this?
