    Submitted it! I needed to cut it down to 2 sentences. Why can't they word it less ambiguously, 'between 50 and 200 characters'? the way it's worded I thought I had not written enough!

    That's the curse I normally hit. If they don't want a full detailed answer, I wish MSC's wouldn't ask for one.

    It was with Market Force. dont think I'll be doing covert shop audits with them again. If it is checking the stock levels you really would stand out if there were no other customers and you're within your specified time frame.

    If it's A german supermarket, done with a letter of authority, you'll get clocked, but they're pretty chilled about it in my experience.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    no, it wasn't a supermarket, it was a high street cafe. but so far, so good, thats my only negative experience.. and for my pub visit, they underpaid me by £1. I should have taken a screenshot of how much they (MF) promised to pay. When I questioned this, of course, they said it was correct. they're ok I reckon if you want a discounted meal, yet they cause me to worry too much.

    Not familiar with that one, but I haven't been on MF in ages.

    Can you not do a quick camera phone pic, then analyse it at home?

    Ok, GAP paid late this month (showing how unreliable they are) but at least they paid in the new tax year - meaning those of us who use the "cash basis" for our tax don't have to pay the tax on Feb jobs for an extra year! :)

    ESA have put some visits up but it says you have to complete the report form using their mobile app. Has anyone used it, is it easy to use?

    As long as you have a decent spec phone or tablet yes, just remember to kill the thing from running in the background as it hammers your battery.
