Want to earn $70 for 5 hours work every now and then to add to your Disney fund? Part 2

On you instruction sheet it should have alternate products listed. If none are available you should call the help desk for instructions. If you found your product just 7 minutes after I think you would be ok.

Unfortunately, it only listed what to purchase if Jif was not available but not the pretzels aargh!!

I forgot about calling the help desk because it was already past 4/5 minutes after 11 am so I bought another brand. oohh I hope I do not get docked for any of this.

Honestly i would unbook and go to the game. If you have a high trafiic are liek mine it wil be boked as fast as you unbook. I have unbooked a gazillion times ( tho never that close) and have never had problems.
About the 5 hours, that is ridiculous, i alway swipe in about 15 minutes before, thats they first thing i do cuz someimes they take a while before i get my stuff, and it i take a while and then swipe out earl i have heard reports they dock, so now what i do it swipe in right when i get to a store. And i pack up and get my stuff isgend and then swipe out so that the in and out swipe are the longest hours possible, even thous i know i wont get paid more. Id reather be over a bit then under and have to explain myself.

I can see this online thing becoming a headache real quick. Never did we have to mention time when calling in...(sigh)

If you unbook it I will take it so that you don't get in trouble... The kits already at the store so no harm no foul... it shouldn't be a problem. They are strict when nobody will pick it up. But I can pick it up actually. Let me know if you unbook it.

I swipe in right at 11am and then begin set-up. At about 3:45, I start breaking everything down. I can get set-up in about 10 min though now. So I don't know but Mr. Reese is now a demoer too

I appreciate it! I will let you know in the morning. Thanks!!!

I was supposed to purchase chips for dipping and they did not have the ones that was listed on the paper so a walmart guy goes in the back to check but by the time he comes out and tells me no that they have none in the back, I go and buy another brand and my check in time on the receipt is 11:07.

Will I get docked on the time?

When this has happened to me, I write a note at the bottom of my report stating what happened.

hi, I have a question.

Will I get docked on the time?

Shooot, I routinely clock in 15mins - 20mins after because I do a lot of Target and Kmart events where they hold the kits randsom. I write on the bottom that it took such and such mins to find or locate kit from store.

i haven't gotten in trouble for it and we shouldn't, the managers are slow at getting kits.

I had the same situation with the Jif event yesterday. WM didn’t have the GV Pretzels, no alternate product listed and the cheapest pretzels along with the jar of peanut putter put me over the amount on my card. Called help desk at 10:55 and left message. Called help desk again at 11:10 and was put on hold for 5 minutes. They increased the amount on my card, but it was then 11:22 when I purchased product. I started packing up at 4:00 and swiped out at 4:15, 7 minutes shy of 5 hours according to swipe in and out time.

According to what others are doing, I'm working too long. Usually I don't have problems getting swiped in by 11:00 at WM. It's the Target & KMart that I have problems and since Target is TMT I have to make sure every minute for the duration of the event is accounted for to be paid.

wenpop - Glad I got my results called in before the change. What is it with this company. Anything you do good or bad is “grounds for termination”. Please let us know what you find out after talking with them today.

I'm too am doing Dove at KMart Sunday. Maybe I'd better read up on this "Dove moment".

I am sorry everytime I see Dove Moment, I read Dove Movement... like a little dove turd or something. okay back to the discussions.

Its kinda humorous... win or lose you're terminated dammit... get over it and move on. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow... but by god we are threatening to!

Why can't we apply this logic to the governer of Michigan... Bring in Arnold to Terminate her.

When I applied on the Staying Connected website and was hired, I was assigned to SPi which handles KMart and Walmart in my area. There weren't many events available. I contacted TMT directly after the nice people on the board were able to tell me that TMT handles the Targets around here. They also hired me and gave me login info and now Targets are available to me. I think you will find there is a great deal of flexibility in scheduling when you work. I'm glad I finally jumped in!

Hi,
I applied at stayingconnected dot com and when I finished the W-2 (which I felt VERY uncomfortable with) they then want me to go to a notary and have them sign and verify my drivers license and SS# again. My husband is mad that I gave out my personal info but I said THE DIS'ers have done it... must be ok.

Question is: Did you guys have to go to a notary and fax in that verification before being hired???

I did. It feels different because it's not a face-to-face employer, but they are an actual company and are legitimate.

I booked 6/23 AGAIN too! Can't do 6/2- wish i could. They both show up as Coppertone only for me. I'm doing Honeycomb tomorrow & Flat crisps for TMT on Sunday. I wish SPi had an event on Sunday the pay is much better. I have 5 events scheduled (including this weekend) through 6/23. Slim pickins for me. You pick up alot of off dates, that's great, I don't see too many here in NY. I ordered the mat I read about in one of your posts, thanks for the info.

Hi,
I'm sorry to be a johnny come lately, but there are 500 pages to this post and my eyes get sore after about 114 pages and I can't catch up! LOL

What mat?? Has anybody heard of jobs in Oregon?

Thank you so much... what happened was that I found this thread and I went and signed up right away and then I found out about EXPOTV.com and I read 114 pages of their thread and I didn't get back to this one. I then started to worry about the fact that I gave out my info based on 5 pages of a thread and didn't wait to see if it checked out but it looks like it does. WHEW! Ok, now to see about gettin a JOB.

Ok, I just read my event instructions and went to Dove’s website to prepare for Sunday’s event. Like someone else mentioned, I think the sound of a waterfall would help get me and the consumers in that “Dove moment“. How about us setting up in Lawn & Garden instead of the candy isle. Since we’re placing this wonderful chocolate on a serving try, probably a solid silver , I would assume the 3 pairs of gloves in the kit are white cotton.

I think a fatigue mat, grocery store clerks stand on them.

Post your zip code and I'll tell you what's available in your area.

Don't worry - and you will be hired, can't find anyone here who hasn't been, although job pickings have been very slim lately so it depends on who else is in your area.

You know, the white cotton gloves is actually a good idea! I wonder if that would be okay. Might be hard to grab the coupons though (which will be strewn all over the floor by customers at my K-Mart on Sunday).

Okay with this new online reporting... one major issue!!!!!!

Before when you did two events in one day you would do this:

Event #1
Call to activate card
Clock in
Clock out
Call Computer link to report results and event is now done

On to Event #2 (same day)
Call to activate card
clock in
clock out
report results, yadda yadda yadda.

Now if all the reporting is done via online (and I don't have access to a computer in between events) how do we go about reactivating our card without closing out the first one? I just want to to do it right so I get paid

 

[Earstou]

Okay...I was just printing off my Dove paperwork and I see yesterday's event says "not reported". I called my report in after work yesterday since I hadn't yet read my email about online reporting and I have a confirmation number.

Do I need to report it online, too?

 

[brivers222]

it wouldn't hurt at all. just keep a note by your phone in confir number and then do it again online and record that number as well. Right now I wouldn't take any chances... just because you did not read the E-mail doesn't mean it didn't go into effect... thats not me being mean at all, just bracing you for what the "termination crazies" might rebutal as they pay you show up only rate.
