The Mystery Shopping Thread - X

Trying_to_be_good

Ooo - everything (even the pharmacies) just disappeared - am I in trouble with RE or is the website struggling? I didn't apply for any jobs, and it's gone from nearly 60 to zero!

EDIT: solved - somehow my settings resaved themselves as no boxes ticked in either Job Types or Features!

I got two station visits. Was hoping for a third but that disappeared.

Think 2 was our limit!! I was the same I had 8 then I took 2 and they all went, only fair I suppose..

I was hoping for a third as the combined fees would cover my train ticket!!

I've just had my first *telling off* from RE. I've just read an email from them telling me I've had 2 jobs released and 4 points deducted from my account as I failed to set a date within 48 hours. Fair enough. Except I had set a date, for tomorrow, as I had 3 in total and was gonna do all 3 together. The only thing that I can think of is that when I accepted these 2 jobs, it said to ring them about it. I was gonna do this later today. It certainly didn't say ring us in order to confirm the date! :mad: I had already been paranoid in checking my active jobs as the 11th is still highlighted as showing I have a job, which I have completed. So I've been scanning through my jobs double checking the dates, all for the 14th bar one on the 23rd.

Obviously, I've made the mistake of not ringing them right away, but it didn't tell me I needed too, especailly as I had already set a date. Is it worth contacting them?

I'd ring them and tell them to stick the 3rd job up their ar*e tbh. Bunch of ****'s.

Are the pharmacy's breeding? I looked earlier & there were 9 now its back up to 14!

Did manage to get 2 of the stations though, was hoping 4 a third but they dissapeared really quick (one while i was working my way througn the accreditation ;0( )

I wonder if I'll get the same PM from a lurker that I got last month, asking me to take some station jobs for him, and he'd take some for me and split the fees. I don't really think he thought it through very well mind you!

Can I just check as I can't see anything anywhere - have RE paid up yet? Payment processed on 10th (Monday) but I've still not got anything in the bank - usually it only takes about 2 days. TIA

Yeah, my payment shows as paid on the 10th and payments usually take uo to 3 days to go into an account ... so why is my money please?! x

I believe the website is struggling - I just entered my report for today ... did all the spelling checks, got all the way throught to the final submit... only to have it freeze in my face for 7 minutes at 58% and then refreshing itself. :eek:

I feel like crying - there were so many comments and it took me an hour . I feel so despondent and would be ready to jack in all RE work if they didn't give me so many good local jobs. Its a love-hate relationship. Mostly hate today.

Im exactly the same, it happened to me on a pharmacy job........ freaked out n wanted to quit them but that was me being angry toes, I get lots of local jobs with them so will put up with it:mad:

Im sure they will update systems soon if they are getting 450,000 shoppers a night doing a report................................................

I see they have moved the abuse button, so now instead of hitting it when we sent thanks we can hit it when we send a reply instead! A lot of thought went into that one.
