    I am new to mystery shopping. It said on the main page of the R.E website that I would be paid on the 25th of this month but I have not received anything. Does anybody know if the wages can take a few days to appear in your account?

    I have been paid by GFK today though. My first 'official' MS wage and my first wage since my maternity pay ended several months ago. Result!!!:j

    I think it may be that they pay you on the 25th, hence it takes 3 days or so to appear into your account.

    I may stand corrected though...
  • can someone please send me their excel sheet for tax purposes! thank you so much!!!
  • You're probably right. I was just curious. Thanks.

    The brief says the reimbursement may not cover the cost. I've never been to one of these places - can anyone give me an idea of prices please?

    EDIT: No need, I found it on their website. Wot a larf.... 'try our fiesta dishES suitable for vegetarians'. There's only ONE and it's bloomin' chilli!

    Not my kind of place at all.




    Yes, I know I'm in a minority of one!!!!

    I've eaten at these places before (I love em!) and it should cover it, yes. Maybe give or take a fiver or so. Depends what you have really!
