    Does anyone know why I wouldn't be able to see popular sandwich shop assignments on RE anymore?
    I have not done any for 3 weeks (so I don't think it's because I have done too many recently) but my friend can see them listed and I can't? :confused:
    Anyone had this problem?

    At a rough guess you've been banned. Done any in the financial districts recently? Are you absolutely sure you went to the right one?

    RE ban anyone who goes to the wrong store - just for this company, not completely.
  • I don't believe it - loads of supermarket jobs have just come up on TNS and I could have done quite a few. Only problem is you have to do them between 29 September and 5 October and since the baby is due on 26 September think I may be pushing it a bit there - hmmmm. I don't fancy going into labour in a supermarket - M&S maybe but not sure about a supermarket :rotfl:
  • Lacero, I didn't know that. But they do have so many of that particular brand, as you say in the Financial Districts and it does waste their time if the person goes to the wrong store...as well as the shopper not being paid.

    It started a while ago. It's particularly confusing if you go out near the tallest place in the UK.

    RE decided it was easier to ban people who went to the wrong store, and implemented a procedure where you have to phone them when outside to make sure you're at the right place.

    It's a hassle for RE and even more for the company involved ;)

    Josie, they say they will give us £6. I don't buy that type of alcohol so am not sure how much it'll be but I think the £6 will cover it. But let's say the total spend is £5.49, you get that amount, plus the £4 fee.

    No, it says in the brief that there is £6 towards covering the costs, so it makes it sound like it's more than £6. The soft drink is probably about £2 anyway.

    The soft drink is a 500ml bottle so probably not more than £1. I don't think the total will be anywhere near £6, let alone in excess of it.
  • Last time I did RE wine shop the lager was about £4 and I reckon the soft drink to be about £1.50 so should just about cover it, except someone has nicked my 2 local stores ;)

    Off to get my eyes lasered tomorrow and was trying to get a coffee booked in beforehand but none to be found :(
    I will be back online once my eyes are not too sensitive to reading etc :D

  • Princess Leia, are you in Merseyside perchance? I took one in L10 and one in L-something else, I can't remember.

    Can I ask are you talking about the coffee shops on TNS beginning with N? Or do you know if any companies that do other ones? I'm always in need of a coffee!
  • I have not seen coffee shops as such on RE; I have seen places where you can get coffee and sandwiches though on there.

    The coffee place you're thinking of is, I think on TNS. The one with a green logo is on GAP.
