    afternoon all, came on here to see how everyone is, and see whats being discussed, I'm going to put in my 2p's worth/rant about RE.
    1. reduced/terrible fee for a few drinks in a pub and 70 odd question. Hint hint - thats why 50 jobs are still not taken.
    2. whats this new thing of emailing asking if you are going to do the job. ER YES, if I wasn't going to do it, I would release it. I kind of understand why they do this, but its unfair especially when they put a deadline saying if you do not respond by so and so time they will release it for it. Lucky for me, I am sad enough to check my email daily.

    love the letter to GYP.

    Tigergold the reason they email you is their system shows you have clicked on the assignment notes.

    OMG the RE jobs have gone soooo fast? There were 388 ten minutes ago and now there are 80. Glad I grabbed one. Obviously a nation of alcoholics! :beer:
    Did you GRAB one at the reduced fee. I am just curious. ( or nosey tbh)

    Looks like one of the companys has pulled all their jobs off, I doubt they've all been taken.

    Was it the pharmacy ones perchance???

    The RE jobs may have gone if you accepted one, as they often have a limit of one per shopper per client, for some reason. So when you accept one, the others vanish. Or maybe they've realised they made an error cutting the fees and have taken the jobs down to rectify it? :)


    There still isnt any other than pharmacies!!! Must be a Scotland/Glasgow thing........................DISCRIMINATION :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: See you jimmy!!

    The pharmacy jobs in Scotland differ from England ones. Must be something to do with us speaking better English or better educated.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I wish!

    Although I did get a prescription the other day and thought "hmmm shall I/shant I" I decided it wasn't worth it. Mainly because I couldn't face a review about my prescription shampoo (which incidentally is for my back) :rotfl:

    It was a pub company that disappeared, but they're all back again now.

    Also, just deciding to give some of my opinions on MSing at the moment...

    .Ive also got two glasses shops for Tern tomorrow, bit nervous as the purchase requirement is such a high amount so if I mess it up it will be very bad news! Anyone got any tips for these? I'm concerned because there are still quite a few available, im thinking everyone knows something about these that I dont?!

    Sorry for the essay, been mulling over my mystery shopping thoughts all week but haven't really had time to post.

    I've done one of these completely and got reimbursed very quickly. I also had a problem with my MS of one of their other clients and they were very good at sorting the issue.

    I think there would be no problem with reimbursement if you send the items straightaway as it seems separate to the report fees.

    Not sure if this is what the notes said before they reduced the fee but I noticed they say that they will only reimburse 1 person's meal :huh:

    It has always been the case they only reimburse one meal. Yet they ask for comments on the 2nd meal. Me being a cheeky sod as a Glaswegian once answered none of your concern as You didn't pay for the 2nd meal. And suprprise I didn't get struck off.

    For the record, I took one of the small fee pub jobs in Glasgow. A city centre one. I've been a probationer on RE for the best part of 2 months. So it's less about the fee, but more about building up my profile so I can get the better stuff. All I ever see is pharmacies, airports and these pub jobs. There is the odd shop - but I'm plus size, so can't do those.
