    I pick up 3 or 4 Frontline pizzas a month in the Midlands on my travels, all with a bonus and have never been questioned on photos, it's easy money.

    till they dont pay you, fob you off that theyve sent it, then ignore communications

    havent they lost the client completely anyhow ?

    So we have two companies doing the same jobs? Interesting.
    Still doesn't stop the client being a pain.
  • Will I do an hour round trip, read a brief, do a visit, pay for parking, buy a load of tripe, take a photo, download it, complete a report with long narrative all for £7.00?

    The world may have gone mad, but I certainly haven't.

    Advisory: avoid Bare pizza client at all costs. There appears to be a policy in place to knock back pretty much all photos in the first instance - regardless of whether or not they comply with the brief.

    I suspect, as with the period this client spent with Frontline Focus, that the company is trying to get something for nothing here. They won't get that from me - threats of legal action against Frontline Focus delivered full payment, and I'll happily do the same again if Bare get any ideas.

    But they appear to be the client from hell and, I suspect, will be one to avoid whoever the reside with.

    Oh agreed have just threatened them with legal action. Was also sent a mail at 12:00 am and told to do the corrections by 7Am. Yeah I am going to work through the night for them. Last Pizza job for me.

    I've just received an email titled "Tesco Survey" offering me work as a mystery shopper. It says:-

    "You will get 300-400GBP for each assignment. A payment inform of Bank Draft will be in a certain amount that you will be asked to cash in your bank, deduct your wages and have the rest for the evaluation."

    I think I'll manage to hold back on that one!

    The first page says not to mention fees. If MSCs think they can get away with paying us £300 per job, this gravy train will come to an end!
