    Ha Ha, Glad I am not the only one then!!

    Just out of interest, has anyone actually recommended the client's machine first in any of the shops you have been to?

    (really cool w/machs, would be quite tempted myself if I needed one!)

    I was recommended this one in the BSE shop on Monday. I must admit I would be quite tempted as well. Particularly the steam model thats nearly £800.00 :eek:. Would have to do a few assignments to pay for that one though, lol.

    Come on then, hand up who is going to take the 'healthy' shops on RE for such a fantastic return????:rotfl:Ops ignore me just re looked and there is a little fee too!

    If you get called by a MS company asking you to do an urgent job how much would you (% wise I know we mustn't talk £) try to up the fee? I never know if I'm under selling myself!

    Is anyone actually going to want to do the health stores on RE? No fee, only reimbursed what you are recommended, you seem to need to post the receipt and of course the usual store photo needs to be taken... I can see them staying on the website for a while!

    I thought exactly the same - did this shop on the last round and the questionairre was rather detailed. Certainly not worth that many questions for the sake of a product I don't want.

    Wow, well done!! Is that 13 shops including the 6 supermarkets, or 19 altogether?What time did you start on that lot? I could never get through that many and take notes at the same time.

    13 in total today - I think I misunderstood Vicz comment tho - mine were photos of supermarket shelves - really quick to do - but not to submit.

    Did 6 of those
    1 other supermarket covert audit
    2 more supermarkets for TNS
    2 catalogue stores
    a petrol station (but the site was closed)
    and a bank enquiry

    i had a call earlier and got talked into doing a pizza delivery that is re-imb only and i'm not even overlly a fan of it! don't get me wrong i will eat it occasionally but as you don't get paid i would rather get a £2 one from tesco than fill in the report! i didn't ask for extra and they didn't offer. they were obv really desperate as she said i could pick when i wanted to do it! supose with delivery jobs they are very limited as to who can do it as they need to live close by. kicked myself for not asking more as i'm sure last time it cost me more than the re-imb. :mad:

    i rarely get called and am not really sure how to go about this either! i need to be more assertive and at least get them to give me other jobs in exchange if not extra fees or mileage etc... there are jobs that are 30 odd miles away and tbh i would want mileage and extra fee to make me to it as even if they pay petrol, adds an extra hour or so on so not worth it for the fee. i would feel too cheeky to ask though! :o
