Hmmm...

I'd try again. I just did and it came up with nothing and then tried again and 6 pages came up. You can use a space or an asterisk.

But honestly, unless you're in Scotland there are very few, so you're not missing much. You can also put in the counties you're prepared to visit in the search and then if none of them come up, you'll know there are none near you.

An upmarket shop on Abai has clothing jobs. The small amount of info that I can see before applying for the job tells me that I'll get so much as my incentive, and that there has to be a minimum spend of another amount (not small) but no info on whether or not I'll be reimbursed for that amount. Considering the minimum spend is 2.5 times the incentive amount, I won't be interested if there's no reimbursement!

Or maybe I should be worried ?

I'm know I stuck to my remits on other jobs,goes off scratching head and wondering

I wouldn't worry, they send those from time to time.

I got one for a betting shop, even though the weekend before I'd done two other betting shops and got full points and not had any queries. Looking at the job, it seemed like it was one that had been re-released after the deadline. Maybe on short notice jobs, or ones where people often make mistakes, they send a reminder.

Can someone that does coffee jobs for Gap please PM me? The "allowed" temperature and weight charts aren't showing up on my questionnaire for some reason so I don't know where my results fall within the allowed confines. Thanks.

My tuppence too! I agree and disagree with you cte1111. Yes fruity phones tantamount to naming the company, so yes, say phones.

There are 3 red shops on there. One of which I love to do, the other one is nowhere near me and the 3rd I'll take if I happen to be in town that day anyway, so would prefer catalogue shop, hardware shop or discount clothes store.

Sorry that's what I was trying to say, I think 'catalogue shops' is a fine description, I didn't get the red clue either today.

There is no additional reimbursement on these jobs but they do seem to be quite happy for you to return items bought in these shops though. The MS company suggested it to me the other day, when I asked if a slightly lower spend would be OK.

Also worth checking to see if you can pick up a restaurant and food shop job within the same department store at the same time, then it works out more worth your while. And it is quite fun pretending that you are the kind of person that does usually buy your groceries / shopping snacks there. :beer: People on the next table were having great difficulty getting their champagne topped up last time I was MSing there, poor souls. I made sure I put that in my report.

I was thinking about that myself. Hmmmm maybe just the once.
