Yes that's the one.

I was just concerned that there must be a reason why they have been available for at least 40 minutes and not snapped up immediately.

I'll give one a go then. I'll probably say never again after I've done the report:rolleyes:

Oh NO!!!!!!!!! I a while back I posted why these are quite possible the most evil jobs on RE! I would never do one of these shops again. Essentially, the questions are hideous and I spent well over 75 minutes on it - that might just be my standard of work but no way would I classify the reward to be worth the effort!

I've got one telephone job for May and that's it and two or three now for the end of the month, seem to have gone OTT at the start of the month.

I've only got back into MS since Jan so I don't know at all how busy some companies were but I'm happy to pick up bits here and there and thats it... unless it's RE.

April seemed to be quiet month but May is looking pretty good especially on the supermarket front :-)

GFK seem to be becoming pretty sproadic but it looks like thats because Retail Eyes have snapped a few contracts from them as well as TNS and Gap - god knows how they are managing it but they are! Its a tad irritating as they really are restricting the volume of these jobs I can do comapred to when i used to do them for GFK and TNS .....

Probably as simple as charging their clients a lot less and offering the a lot more. They also offer mystery shoppers a lot more work for a lot less money for free.

OMG I just got back from visiting some supermarkets and writing dates down. The company said the first would take 30 mins and the others 10-15 mins. In reality the first took 60 mins and the others 30 mins!

I was supposed to do 6, but couldn't get to the last two before they closed because they took so much longer than anticipated!

I wouldn't suggest doing these jobs unless you literally are shopping there already!

Darn it, I've been out all day and it seems I've missed out on a load of jobs on RE. All I'm seeing are sandwich shops that are too far away and those darn Ebbsfleet International coffee jobs!
