I've had a problematic shop today too. Just got back from a pharmacy job on RE and the staff member didn't ask me one single question. Not if the medication was for myself, or what else I was taking etc etc. I just asked for it and she handed it to me. I can definately see that being questioned and disputed by the store in a few days time. And then of course RE will believe them and not pay me...:(

You may well be OK - possibly RE will phone you to check on exactly what did/did not happen but they are not nearly as 'difficult' as Gap when things like this happen.

how has everyone found mystery customer evaluations? i signed up a few weeks ago but no jobs been available

I have been with them for quite a while but only ever completed 2 shops for them. I only ever manage to see the haircuts at the posh salons when they come on, other than that I have never seen any other kind of job. I know that they have quite a few bar assignments but always in the Scotland area!!

HTH;)

I'm in Manchester too Lauren. There were 3 bingo jobs around here, I took 2 when I posted the alert, so maybe someone else beat you to the 3rd one.

It's mainly been banks on GFK recently, endless numbers of them. I think sometimes they might offer you more clients after you've done a certain number of jobs successfully for them. I've been offered a homeware store, occasionally a phone shop, heritage visits and government offices, but only saw these clients after I had done lots of banks I think. Keep looking, hopefully you will see some jobs soon.

I like GFK, they're my favourite company to work I think. The jobs are usually clear and pay is quite good. The bingo ones are my favourite, as I enjoy them and also get paid to go!

I like GFK too. I snapped up quite a few jobs from their latest release. Never had so many appear on my page page though, so I think you could be right. After you have proved yourself with GFK and done a few jobs with them, I think they may offer you more. I've certainly been offered quite a few banks lately but I've been happy to shop them and it seems I've been repaid by being offered different jobs. OR, it could be entirely concidence!

I just joined gfk last week and have seen a few jobs. Had a couple of emails but the jobs were gone when I signed in. But today I can see banks, bingo and phone shops and have previously seen a government place as well. Going to do a bank job next week but the others aren't convenient unfortunately.

Very upset they don't have Norwich bingo on there, better luck next time! Do they do each bingo branch every month does anyone know?

Reminds me of a supermarket pharmacy I done once when all I was asked was whether I wanted 16 or 32 tablets. Super quick shop and quick report to fill out as I just had a lot of No's to fill in. It wasn't queried at all but that wasn't for RE.

I didn't see Norwich bingo on there either. Did you shop it last month as that could be why you couldn't see it? Unfortunately I'm too busy this week to have accepted one as I love playing bingo too!

Edit: Whoops, Didn't see that you only joined last week!

I don't think the bingo ones are that regular, perhaps every 2 or 3 months. Or else other people have grabbed them before me on other occasions. I've done 3 in the last 6 months, they were all competitor ones. So I'm now a member of a number of bingo companies, which is quite good as they keep sending me free offers so I've been a few times since without paying.
