Can someone please advise what I claim from MF for a shop visit where the shop has closed down?

Can't seem to find anything on their site

Thanks

Depends who the allocator is. Once I got the full fee and reimbursement. Since then I have only had either half the fee or the full fee.

Did you take a photo of the closed shop because they sometimes do ask for proof of it.

(You never know but they might ask you how it made you feel that the shop was closed, please rate on a scale of 1 to 10 and give a full explanation of why you felt that way :rotfl::rotfl:)

I know a manager in one store and he told me they do what they can to avoid a bad or not 100% report as its bonus based and affects them a lot. He actually joined gap himself and was doing the reports!!
tell gap to shove it why accept pittance and bve accused of lying

Doing the TNS phones last week I was a bit peckish so popped to said burger joint and when ordering accidently blurted out a gapburger please, never had such a wonderfully fake floor show.:rotfl:

I know some on here like them, but to be honest I would not do these jobs for the fee GFK paid so no chance of me doing them for the fee DS pay. I have saved them a job and removed myself from their list.

They can be a decent enough little number depending what's on your patch. I can hit a big block of jobs at the start of the month all in the same town and earn a fair day's wage for a day's work, especially when the insurance jobs are involved. They're also good filler because there's one in every shopping centre, and because there's no set scenario, you can do one just as easy in a suit or in shorts and t-shirt depending how you're turned out for the other stuff you're doing.

I've had a few chats with the bloke who sent the email, he's a nice guy, but he gets a bit uptight when deadlines are on the, even distant, horizon. Everyone else I've ever spoken to in there's always been lovely though.

Have to say I agree with Skivenov. I find DS a pleasure to work for.

anyone know??

There is no way of really knowing. I can only suggest you go onto your homepage, click on visits you have carried out and then compare it to your bank statement. That way you will know which ones you have been paid for (they usually pay them four weeks after a visit but in some cases at the end of the month). If there is an odd amount but you have carried out multiple visits for the same brand then add them together and see if that works out...however, there is no real way of knowing. Hope that helps a little though.:o

Had a random £70 appear in my account today, with the narrative "V913", and I can't work out who it's off.

I did lose a tooth the other day, so I wonder if her rates have gone up since I was a kid and the toothfairy's doing BACS?

I've never done a job for them. I signed up cos lots of people on here said they were one of the best to work for. I've been unimpressed. No info until you take a job, so I took one and took one look at that brief and told them they could have it right back. I said I wasn't prepared to do that amount of work for their tiny little fee, inc mileage. I asked to be removed from their system months ago and I'm still getting these damn emails! How can I come off their list? I'm never going to do any of their work.
