    RE do a lot more than just pubs. Other jobs may be filtered for some reason - i.e. some may only be available for non-probationary shoppers, or they might require people under/over a certain age, or of a certain gender, or simply more experienced shoppers.

    Also, check your areas - does your postcode radius include a large city? There may simply just be no jobs within your range!

    Does anyone know if RE only do pubs or is it because I am still on a 'probationary' status. I joined in Feb but all I have had is pubs which I can't really do as we have 2 kids and not keen on going into a pub on my own.

    Do you have to pass the probationary status before they give you more of a selection as I have ticked every single box on the selection page.

    Thanks.

    When I was on probation all I could see was pubs too, if you can get one of the pub meals jobs theyre not bad for with a family, I've done a few some just me and my Dad and at least one me and a friend with her kids. You'll only get the max reimbursement but its not exactly an expensive place to eat to begin with, I actually quite enjoy the jobs despite the questionnaire being a 'mare after.

    I think you can only accept one of the game pizzas. I got one assigned to me and now I can no longer see any others. :confused:

    How annoying that the game pizzas can only be done on one specific evening! I'm going out that night :rolleyes:

    I don't do the pub visits either, my first one on RE was that meteoric electric retailer but prior to that I did see a pharmacy so I don't necessarily think it's jsut pubs. Is your profile 100% complete in all sections?

    I was probationary for about a year with Re as all I could see were pub jobs which like you with 2 kids I just couldn't do.

    Finally saw another which was an energy supplier and since doing that one I can see loads now.

    I was in the gyp burger place tonight buying for real and behind the drive thru window there was a big yellow poster headed GYP*****R, and 11.30 & 4.30, then the words 'Smiles all Round', and then things like:

    1) Smiles all round
    2) Car park clean
    3) Toilets clean
    4) Hand out napkins
    5) Food hot
    6) Receipt printers ready
    7) Smiles

    Can't remember the rest, but so much for it being a 'Mystery' !.

    Hi

    Gap wages are in today.

    Does anyone have any experience of them not paying enough, please? Did it get resolved quickly or at all? They've underpaid me, not very happy considering the rates are so low already.

    :mad:
