    Check over lists prior to tomorrow's excursion to evil, blood sucking:eek: purse robbing Co-op:mad:

    Have you got a co-op membership card? Use that. Also, have a nosey by the tills, my 2 local ones have vouchers for money off veg, think its spend £3 and get £1 off. They just look like leaflets but inside there is money off coupons. Also, would it be better to do an online shop with tesco/asda/sainsbury?

    Thanks Cleosmum for tip about vouchers:T I've never seen them in one here:rolleyes: but I will look tomorrow.
    Online shop is an impossibility. I live in North of Scotland semi-rural location and we only have Co-op and small Somerfield here....nearest town with proper supermarkets is over 100 miles away:mad: :eek:

    I have just started with retail eyes but I accepted 1 job last week for tomorrow and the blighters wont let me take on any more.

    Have reg'd with gapbuster and am not allowed to look until I have completed their mammoth orienteering program and passed tests at 100% pass :eek:

    I just did my first job with RE earlier this week. You're on probation til you "pass" the first one you do. Having submitted my report ok afterwards, withn 24 hours I was able to see a ton of them again. I think I managed to bag 5 in one go then, though I noticed that for one pharmacy job, once I'd picked 3 (diferent ones), they all disappeared off the list - so I think some jobs vanish as soon as you aren't eligible to choose them (ie I had reached max allowance for that client). Not trying to teach you to suck eggs mind you... you've been doing it longer than me!

    As for GAP, who I also do, I didn't do all the orientation at the start... I generally found you could see all the jobs anyway, but you couldn't "add" them til you had done the training for that client. I only went to do the training when there were jobs I wanted. Some of the listed ones I have never seen in my area yet, so I've not bothered to learn them yet.

    I do TNS, GFK and GR too. Recommend any others? :rotfl:
