Absolutely, I will not do it anymore

Hi All,

I went onto Gyp to find a pizza or Chicken assignment, but they do not have those clients anymore. Any idea if another company has taken them on?

Haven't had those clients for over a year. Burgers and petrol if you are lucky.

Who did they go to, btw?

I believe they stopped using MS preferring customer complaint cards (the Coffee Shops went that way too).

One big major change that has made me reconsider doing anything for them is the imposition of forms that require Adobe Flash to complete. Previously an iPad was all you needed and could complete in the field. Not now - this old and clunky interface has now been imposed across the board (the burger bars joined in last month).

Not only is Flash being retired everywhere else in preference to using HTML5, despite warning them over a year ago this was an ill-advised move, the relentless rollout continued and I believe ALL jobs now take an age to return and require Flash to achieve.

I stopped doing their jobs as each client transferred to this crappy interface - so after 7 years I'm happily not doing anything for them. Anyone else affected?

The Flash prevents me using a smart phone to complete the reports. It's a ridiculous move. I'd prefer to download their own custom Windows or Android app than use that damned Flash interface - it's a nightmare for the DIY visits in particular.

Perhaps because they have lost the pizzas and chicken, though, and so only have incredibly ropey jobs available, they seem to be paying more lately, so I suppose I won't moan too much

try market force for pizza assignments? they often have cafes however, they normally reimburse the meal but pay v little on top.

So it has been some time since I did mystery shopping. I have tried to sign up to gyp and got the following message:

Any ideas??

Any suggestions why I cant seem to get past this page?

Thanks

You can't leave and go back.
