As bonkers as the GAP brief is it's not as bad as the ESA DIY store where you had ask to use their toilet.

Why make you buy and return the items?

They could just ask you to check the shelves for X, Y and Z then (so you can assess the checkout) buy any item up to a fiver.

The cynic in me says there is now five mistakes to make and more excuses to refuse payment.

I used to do those visits for someone else - the difference is that during the refund part, it was a reveal (and it paid more). Any MS who has other work to do during the day will want to finish this asap, and if you go back for a refund after 10 mins they have to call a Manager to authorise it. It's going to be awkward.

MF always give stupid Queries. (Even on jobs the proof readers are not supposed to touch).

I have jobs that go direct without proof reader interference, and they still manage to get on those every now an again

EG: Was the Reception Desk
a: Clean to high standard
b: Clean to acceptable standard
c: Not Clean (Comment)

Answer A: Clean to a High Standard

Proof Reader. Please explain how the reception desk was clean to a high standard!!

If you find yourself doing multiple jobs for the same client, save a copy of one of your completed reports just before you submit it. On MF after you have completed the expenses page, you can see all your responses on a single page before you click 'Close Assignment'. There should be an option to 'Save As... HTML' in your browser. You can then use it as a template next time.

One of the regular client questionnaires includes a set of questions at the end which are not specific to the visit. I just copy and paste these from the saved version each time, which hasn't caused any issues.

Anyone else had issues with RA "allocating" you jobs you have no idea about ?

I've just signed up with them, had a phone call yesterday about a job which I had to decline as didn't fit the criteria but had 2 other jobs I had no idea about assigned to me and now an email telling me my reports are overdue :-/

Should not apply on these jobs, the jobs are supposed to skip proof reading, if the client has a quiery they phone me direct or ask about it when we meet up for a chat..
