GRR at RE.

Just accepted a slimy creature & salad lunch. Did the pre-acceptance test. One of the questions "This visit is for 2 adults only". Ticked yes. Got accepted.

Now reading notes and it says its for 2 adults and a child!!! So I'll have to cancel.

How ridiculous , a lunch job where you have to take a child during term time??????

So watch out anyone, before accepting this job, check you have an available child!!!

If you google the postcode and the name of the pub it is definitely Leeds Yorkshire.

No idea where the Kent bit of the address came from. Typical RE logic I suppose:rolleyes:

RE must think it is near Leeds Castle!

Perhaps you should contact them before you cancel. Perhaps the test was right and they have attached the wrong briefing notes RE are definitely having a bad evening:rolleyes:

sorry couldnt believe my eyes loads of them have been taken already
Site crashed on me twice but I managed a posh fish supper :beer:

I took one of these, but having looked at what's on the menu and the prices (i.e. it'll cost about £50) I think I'm going to release it.

I honestly don't think the points on RE mean anything - I've always been able to see restaurants, I think they just go really quickly and unless you're on there when they come on you'll miss them.

Just thought I would share a tale of a fortunate mystery shop....

This happened ages ago, almost over a year. I was out shopping (non-paid) on a local retail park when I noticed the Burger location was turning customers away. I thought.... hmmm ... I wonder whats going on, I'll go and be nosey as I'm sure I saw this location down to be shopped. As I got to the door I was told by a staff member that there was a power fault and the restaurant was closed. I remembered her name, and time. Once home I checked and selected the assignment and contactefd the MS company and got paid for an aborted visit. hehe!!

hmmmm just got a RE phone call job that doesn't need recording!! Also the assignment questionaire said something " i understand I must wait 7 days for a follow up" but the printed questionaire doesnt say anything about that at all?????

Omigod you have got to be kidding me! I was running late, so I really had to rush and I got to the place at 14:23 and left at 14:29 (there was no time limit) and then it turns out I had to do it after 14:30 - I am sooooo pi***d off!!!!! That of course means I'm not going to get paid for it now doesn't it! That is so unbelieveably sneaky, I'm fuming at myself and the company. :mad:

I learnt this the hard way - I got caught out by it too. Put it in anyway, I played dumb and changed my times and said in the comments that the system wasn't accepting my times and I didn't know why, and they accepted and paid.

Got a TERN jewellery visit today which has to have a purchase returned to them for reimbursement. Do they automatically send me the prepaid envelope to send this back or do I have to request it??? And am i presuming correctly that I will have to send them the original receipt too.

Sorry to ask this but not done these before and want to get them right!!
thanks oh wise peeps.

Tern will send you a jiffy bag and labels for it. Yes, you do need to keep the original receipt, and make sure you complete a purchase claim form aswell. (which you can print off from the assignment guidelines.

I'm so surprised that there has been a hotel visit on RE for over an hour and its not been taken yet.
Is nobody in the NE of England on-line tonight?
Sounds really good but only for 1 person, still I would have thought a single person with no kids would have snapped that one up.
