Have the pharmacy visits disappeared off RE for everyone else, or just me?

Just you! Or maybe it's just me that can still see them... who knows!

I assume you have followed all the steps correctly.

1. Ticked "please read all aasignment details"
2.Under "shop date" you have used the drop down menus to select a date and time
3.Ticked "add to basket
4.View basket and subnit.

If you didn't complete any of those steps then the job isn't allocated to you.

I'm sure you did all that , just confirming

Yes,yes,yes,yes, and yes. BUT - I am a bit of a numpty - I have just realised having checked all of the orientation that I have never completed the first one before all the clients ones! Only just this minute discovered that and now as my brain and body are both scrambled I will wait till tomoz - thanks Bob and everyone else who has tried to solve this puzzle for me tonight. x

I wish they would disappear from my account, I can still see 169!

Just got 2 station jobs off RE, which are the same day as the trip to go on a ABA-i visit, I'm getting good at this mystery shopping thingy!!!

I'm having a problem on RE where when I select "apply for assignment", it says the shop has been allocated to another shopper. Fair enough.

But then when I go back and search again, the same shops are there! Anyone had this before?

Same here, must be a glitch in the system.

Glad its not just an issue they have with me then!

I guess I'll stick with the ones I have and have a relaxing day of MS'ing rest before I head off on holiday.

I'm actually quite pleased with the payment dates as some of them come in just before I leave - meaning bills and rent are covered without worry - and the rest of it will be paid the week I get back in a lovely "welcome home - here's a bit of help to get you started" money package. (at least thats how I like to think of it!)

Managed to pick up a few Bookies on RE today but all the Stamp Shops in my area have either gone, or not been uploaded yet.

Had anyone nicked all the Stamp Shops in South Yorkshire?? Someone keeps nicking them all off Gap before I get a chance to look, so it wouldn't surprise me

Edited to add: I can see a couple of Torso shops too. I would feel very out of place doing those though, what with being a bloke and all!

Andy I have you sussed as an excellent misery shopper ( copyright Scotsbob). Get yerself in there and put on your best Julian Clary impersonation. Gel your hair, put make up on and don't forget the eyeliner and Bob's your Auntie. After all most MS'ing is role play anyway.:rotfl:

HTH or at least makes you laugh.

No I am NOT.

If you repeat that again I shall be consulting my solicitors (Messrs, Sue Grabbit & Run) first thing in the morning.

I have just completed the questionnaire for 1 of the pharmacy jobs on RE....what a nightmare :eek:.

You answer a question like 'was the staff member wearing a name badge' and even if you answer no you have to put a comment in, which is just plain daft. I think for the fee and the reimbursment these are really not worthwhile. I spent about 35 minutes in the store, and then another 45 minutes doing the report.......never again, lol !!

Josie is away on hols but she can beat that. She answered yes and gave the name. Then the comment box lit up in red.

I rarely do RE now because of this and the miniscule fees. They keep phoning me to do the cycle shop. The fee doesn't even cover the petrol there and back. And you have to go into the car park and try out the cycle. Jeez I will be 60 in Nov 18th (mind you I only look 21!!!! Any happy pensioner PM's might cheer me up!!

This shop has appeared on my page for 3 months now. Even at the risk of having a cardiac arrest doing it they won't pay my petrol so sod them. Look at the fee they are losing.

I am the famous one who nicknamed sopme of the misery shopping companies

RE Ridiculous Eyeballs

Gap....Gyp.

Tern...Stern

Any more ideas people. Like Scotsbob.

No wonder Timmne calls me Lily Connolly:rotfl:
