GFK and their quiz in order to get shops

You know. Ever since I started grocery shopping, years ago, I always had a pen/pencil and paper. I've always had a list of things to pick up. I'm not changing the way I shop now.
I certainly use a shopping list when I go to the store whether it is on a shop or not. Chances are good I will have a pencil or pen in my pocket as well to mark off items or make notes of prices for comparison shopping. Perfectly natural and not something I would change. I think their concern is someone taking in the whole questionnaire. But my little note pad and pen I would continue with.
I always have a pen in my pocket and a shopping list and a daily chore list. I can also input notes into my DVR in a noisy store, and most stores are noisy.
Whenever I can't have pen or paper for any shop I always text the the info back to my phone. I just upgraded my cell phone to a Palm. What a wonderful tool!! It has MS Word and Excel. I pretend like I'm texting and put info in there so I don't look suspicious. Another great idea is send yourself a voice msg so you can remember info that might get forgotten later.
I have taken the quiz and it is a cinch. The questionnaire is much easier and the shop goes quite quickly. Also I still carry my "grocery list" and a pen.
We need to be careful with the cell phones because more and more shops are stating that you should NOT be using a cell phone during your shop. Of course at the same time a whole bunch of shops are suggesting you use your cell phone (call your answering machine to leave notes). You just need to watch your instructions carefully.
GFK is a good company...with exception of several schedulers that are arrogant and selfish. Beware
**** Action Stations, Launch All Vipers *******
Looks like their gas shops went to another MS company.........tons on the board at the new company
I am having trouble lately. Can't find anything but Mickey D's and I hate them. Looking for some decent rextaurant shops in Jacksonville FL.
lrk--are you registered with at least 150 MSP's? Have you checked Jobslinger for MSP's that shop your zip code and nearby ones?
I am with that new MSP but never shopped for them, as I wouldn't do the previous gas shops they begged me for. I love THIS gas shop-easy, fair pay. But I haven't even tried to log on to their site since the switch to the new site given all I have read about the payment issues and and web issues. Is it worth it? Is anyone getting paid and having things go smoothly? This is the only gas shop I do. Crap, that billion dollar company sure changes MSCs like underwear. Third one in a year. :-(
