I find I have to spend the first 5 minutes giving them some patter to get them on board. Makes every task longer but it's giving me a good success rate. I'm also trying to go at times when they're not busy. I find 2:30 in the afternoon is the best time. But I do hate doing the tasks!
Yeah i tried going in various times, just dont work for me

They seem to be very variable lately.I did a load of billboards on the 25th Sept and they were approved in ones and twos between then and 3rd Oct
Had to nudge them a while back for some that were 3 weeks old then in contrast the banana one this morning was approved about an hour after I did it.
I didn't apply for the Now TV FSDUs as there would have been no-one in to take delivery so can't comment on them.
On a different subject, do you know what's happened to that pilot task they did in Manchester in the summer with hundreds of address confirmations?
They were supposedly rolling it out nationwide but nothing's happened so far
I remember being tempted to drive round Manchester and pick them up. Then I saw how big Manchester was! I'd love them to do some more though. Let us know if you find anything out

I have 5 vape jobs available that I will do tomorrow, I have one that is R5 and the others are R4, what's the difference? I also see some jobs are different colour coded, what's that for?
Thanks

i don't think the colour codes mean anything . just different shops or tasks .

not sure about r4 and r5 sorry

They won't talk to @mabozza ! Haha. The problem is that a lot of the shopkeepers aren't bothered about taking part.

Think I've done about 25 of them in 5 or 6 locations including Soho/Central London. Only had one shop refuse and that was more of a market stall.

That's my hopes for doing a couple in soho on Friday dashed! They must be nicer in the South. They've got me about £40 so far so I can't complain

well completed 2 today with varying results, first shop said i had to contact head office, still completed the task and for questions just said shop refused to answer.
2nd one seemed to go okay, spoke to employee, showed LOA and he asked me to send onto his boss, so i did, completed the question etc, get home later today and find this in my emails from the shop owner, i have passed onto TASK360

"
I am writing to you regarding the following.



1) Unauthorised questioning of an employee.



2) Your sending an email to our company email address when you were on our premises saying you had authority to conduct a survey and then gathering information immediately without receiving any permission.



3) You had no permission to conduct any survey.

As such I have taken advice and intend to pursue this matter under Scottish Law and the Data Protection Act. I will be also contacting Trading Standards regarding your method of operation.
I require that you specifically contact me directly with an undertaking not to pass on any information you obtained during your uninvited and unauthorised visit to our Company premises to any third party.
In addition I require a full disclosure to myself of the information you obtained and any records that you have made obtained from your unauthorised actions.
All future contact should be with me directly."

So, i cant see where i have broken any laws or data protection act?? the information was given to me freely, i just asked the employee the questions, i have told the guy to contact TASK360 and forwarded on his email to them as well, i thought the shops were happy to be included in the survey?
i will update on any reply that i recieve, anyone else had any problems like this? Bit worrying on my first venture out.

Don't worry at all. His 'advice' from his mate down the pub isn't worth the papers it's written on. You obtained information from his employee, it was therefore his employee who disclosed information and if (which there hasn't been at all by the way) a data protection violation it would be the employee of the company who is liable. On the trading standards front because you had an LOA from task 360 to conduct market research then any violation (which again hasn't happened - it was just market research on behalf of a supplier of Vape products who's looking to sell to them) would be task 360s liability, not yours.

And I'm assuming you visited the shop during opening hours and so therefore your visit wasn't unauthorised as the shop was open to business from members of the public!

The shops haven't been contacted about the survey though hence the aforementioned difficulties. That's why this was a discovery task for a long time :) The LOA is just in place to protect you and make it clear that you've been employed to do a job.

I'd wind up the Chap though by asking if he can share a copy of the advice he's received and be copied into any correspondence he has with trading standards about you under the terms of the freedom of information act (since he's so fond of misqouting and misapplying law no reason you can't!)

By the way for his email to be legally accepted he has to quote the year of the Data Protection Act and the particular paragraph he believes you're in violation of. That's how I know the advice he's claimed to have had is utterly Rubbish!

Send it to task 360, ignore it and don't let it stop you. I'd change your patter at the start though to make it clear that you're doing market research on behalf of a supplier who's looking to sell to them. Think it's blu for this task. Yes doing so does decrease the chances of them taking part but it also decreases the chance of you or anyone else getting any ridiculous emails.

Final point to note is that all he knows about you is an email address. You could literally be anyone! So he's no means of tracking you anyway. I'd suggest setting up a separate email address for use in the future that doesn't contain any personal details such as your name and just referring to yourself by first name in any correspondence you have in the future. I've a few terrifying looking emails myself in my money earning inbox that I love replying to and winding people up by playing them at their own game!

You'll be ok though. Keep going!

P.s thanks for giving me something to chuckle at! I love it when store owners go mad like this. Like the Vape business is some kind of cut throat industry with massive corporate Secrets! Its not developing nuclear weapons at the end of the day!! Haha

Jings!!! I havent had anything THAT mental!! Assume it was in Scotland? For some reason i find some tasks up home are hard as hell... if the one that referred you to head office was Vaporized i have had same in 5 of their branches...i get the feeling Vaporized have made staff aware to deny anyone doing these surveys... one asked if i was on behalf of Scottish Govt...said they would comply if i was otherwise cheerio lol... sadly you have found these tasks experience the same as many other users...hence why they are the bargepole task...best advice if you try any more aim for ones that are small independent ones.. also... as Andrew says just bin the email.. load of crap...for future reference never give your own details out every app has a support email address stick the address on your contacts and if anyone wants a contact email give them the apps support one as you are working on their behalf.

Thanks mate, yes vaporised was the refusal one, I have another one to attempt, so will do the process, do task 360 still pay if shop doesn't comply?
As for the email, employee asked me to send the LOA onto his boss and so my email address was on that
