I'm still waiting for a RE job near me. They are all to far away. Boo.

Often they go within minutes of appearing - around 7 o'clock week nights seems to be when I see them being released. It's more varied at weekends.

I've just accepted a pub visit through TNS. Will I be in profit - it's for 2 people?

I very much doubt it! Unless you have a 2 for 1 voucher which I always use for my restaurant jobs.

Yes. You need to do one job first that will get you up and running. Any job will do. Once they have passed that on the checks then you should be able to see and take more.

Cheers for that - I will have a go at one of the pubs, see if I can find one without food . I've just picked up a nice food one on GR so I shouldn't moan, swings and roundabouts and all that.

The pub ones with food for RE are ok to do. I pay by debit card and automatically get a receipt and usual stuff like visit the loo, timings and staff names. I find these jobs easy.

Once you are accepted you should soon start seeing jobs. You can only accept one(your probationary job). Do that one then when it has passed you can take as many as you like...unless there are restrictions on how many you can do per client.
I wouldn`t personally do the pharmacies as they are sooooo long winde.

Thanks, just checked and theres nothing there as yet. If anything comes up will come on here no doubt asking for help:)

Cheers

I used to hate this when I used to work in a supermarket - I think they just liked to use your name as it gave them as excuse for looking at your boobies! :rotfl:

Oh, I'm not too worried about doing the jobs, I'm just not that keen on their food! :rotfl:

Oh that's reminded me......... when I was a student I worked in a (now defunct) record shop chain called 4 Play :rolleyes: and we had to wear staff shirts with the logo on. I'm sure you can imagine the kind of 'jokes' that we heard from customers - inevitable when you've got the words '4 Play' emblazoned across your left tit. :rotfl:
