I'm having a dry spell I think. I've only got 2 burger jobs booked and they are for August. I bet when I'm back at work there are loads of jobs. It's sod's law!

I don't get to see the burger jobs as I failed the test by 2%! So strict! Things are quiet MS wise down this neck of the woods too. The assignment which I did today was booked at the beginning of this month but they kept putting the dates back and then I had to reschedule!

Sorry, it was me having a thicko day - just got over swine flu but my brain hasn't caught up yet! Just deleted it - I meant to post in here.......


I'm an experienced mystery shopper but I only registered with RE a couple of months ago. I'm in London and I've got all the boxes ticked on their website, but I only ever see pharmacies (and none near me), pubs and the occasional airport shop/pub. Am I just being unlucky and jobs for other companies have already been taken before I had the chance to see them? Or is it the case that I will only see pubs/pharmacies until I have more experience with them? I don't particularly like these pubs so I haven't taken them, but I wondering if I need to do one or two just to get the chance to see other stuff. Can anyone advise?

Ta!

"Falling Down" anyone?

YES! Definately would freak me out if someone kept using my name like that. Where's the gun?!

No worries - hope you're feeling better now!

I'm in the South and got all the boxes ticked too... I think the jobs are snapped up very quickly as I have seen others on there, but the pub jobs and airport jobs seem to be lingering as noone wants to do them (or can't get into an airport) - don't even get me started on the pharmacies, aaargh!!

Me too. Many years ago when I was a teenager I was a waitress in a place with name badges. I always felt a bit uncomfortable when customers used my name. Then again, that's probably because the ones that used my name teneded to be middle aged, fat, slightly creepy salesmen who fancied their chances with the young bird serving them :rotfl:

Thanks for that. I've been hoping to get an airport job as I'm going away in a few weeks. Annoyingly the only ones I've seen at Heathrow are in terminals 1,2,4, and 5 - of course I'm flying from 3! :rolleyes:
