RE nightmare tonight
Loads of jobs showing managed to get two :j

So I thought well we all know what thought did :rolleyes:

I got a posh fish supper in my area well chuffed however when I go to my assignments it has allocated me another one also but miles away ?
I did not request this one and wouldn't have its way too far away and I only wanted the one i'm not greedy and would rather someone else got it.


Also on a fast food one it has allocated the same job twice to the same place on two consecutive days ?


Anyone else having trouble tonight or am I the lucky one :eek:

Oh and the contact us email link is stuck it won't send :eek:

thanks - if anyone has already done this months it would be a great help to hear from you. i understand it a bit more from this which is great but its this bit that I still have problems with Follow the link in your email and you will get a list of departments in this store. These are the departmetns you have to visit. my problem with that is for example with one of them it states there are 9 departments in the store and then it lists 2 that I need to visit. So do I just do the 2. also with most of them the choices it states I have to do do not appear on the lost of what departments are in the store so how can I do them

for example store has (im using pets as a different scenario here):

store has:
dog food
cat food
rodent food
toy section

sections you have to visit:
animal section
fish section

how would you be able to do the 2 if they are not actually in the store? sorry I am so confused i thought these would be easy.

I am now also worried about payment as in the notes when I took jobs there were figures for fees and fuel. then sections to cover purchases, food and other costs. I took those 3 figures to mean what I would get but now reading these notes I do not think this is the case and I will now not even break even for many of these jobs anyone else know what you definitely receive for this month? please pm me

The easiest way to find out which departments you have to visit, is to log on normally to the TNS website and go to "My visits" on there, it will state which depts you have to visit for this location.

The questionnaires are rubbish because they list all the departments (a bit like Gap's stamp jobs, but at least they don't have pages of them to fill out online with "N/A"!)

It also states under my visit how much you get for 1) mileage 2) purchases 3) fee 4) cafe reimbursement 5) petrol station

I think these ones are reasonably generous, even if they are a bit confusing, so you should do much better than break even and you're getting the food paid for. Once you suss you don't have to visit 52 depts and which ones you do need to visit - they're fine.

I have just taken a job on RE that should have been done by today (there are loads that were due today??) I want to do this tomorrow but will i be able to if i have not had comfirmation that it is ok? I have emailed them. Are they around in the office tomorrow??

Re the TNS supermarket visits. It states that we should not use the self service checkout to pay BUT some of the assignments ask you to check that counter???
Also some dont state to check the cafe or loos in the list but still reimburse you for buying something in these areas, so should they be checked or not?

I hope so I need to sort mine out too
It has me doing the same place tomorrow & Sunday !!!!!!!

Did you try the contact us link ?
I couldn't get it to send :-(

i cant believe i come back on and pets on RE now as well!! I wish we could take more than one though

I now supposedly have 22 active jobs in RE (I normally have about 2) but I dont think this is accurate as stations are being counted twice so will have to wait and see what it pans out to be as I dont think its accurate.

Can you accept jobs on RE if they were supposed to be done today? It does say in the questionnaire if you can complete in the timescale so you'd have to answer no and then you can't be accepted for the assignment.

Hope it all works out okay for you in the end - the guys at RE are good, I'm sure they'll let you off if there's any way within their powers that they can. :-)

Hi ya Dan

I would just like to say that you seem to give such good advice I didn't realize your age until today. I agree the team at RE's are really good at sorting things if they can
