The "other" MF German supermarket tend to be listed under Misc visits rather than Retail for some reason. I don't have one in my town so not applied for any.

Yeah along with the Scottish based frozen food company.

Yes, I don't have one of them either! Seem to have some good bargains as well.

omg Coyle jobs are hard!!! I've picked up 2 high end visits (lunch and bar) to do during my holiday abroad, but I'm stressing as there's so much work involved and so much to note, but it says I can't use my phone too much!

I'm worried I'll ruin my romantic mini break with writing this report and won't really enjoy the experience as I have so much to do. Also the briefs are so hard to read, confusing and contradictory!

I haven't been paid from Mystery Outsource for jobs completed in January. They don't reply to any emails. Any idea of my next step to try and get paid.

doesn't seem to be much going on with MF and I got one GR yesterday which was when I was working and couldn't check emails and it had gone grrr.

Is it quiet because of being near the end of the tax year maybe?

OOH quite nice to have a bit of me time as oppose to MS or doing my main job.

Does anyone who's bank shows pending payments see anything pending for MF?

They are not confirming if the delayed payments did actually go out yesterday, and the website has changed to remove the date now, just says delayed due to technical error now

Is it me or a RA make a right mess of the drinks audits? If you had not done them before, then the instructions are not exactly clear and not issuing logging details, so you manually fill in forms is a bit of a joke. Somebody at the other end will need to do alot of manual inputting to get the details into the system.

Least GFK had sorted the systems before launching the project. IT don't appear to be RA's strong points.

Even if they sent the payment yesterday it wouldn't be likely to show up as pending for another couple of days due to the takes x days to clear factor.

It does give an idea as to what is involved and report length on the first page of this thread. There are no free lunches at the luxury end of the spectrum, the client has exacting standards and will expect the same in the MS report.

Perhaps use an audio device to note down your observations, with care you can make it look like you are just chatting to your dining companion.
