    lol wonder if anyone will actually take the re call jobs. just thinking about the total lack of effort required to do a quick supermarket earlier for tns for the same fee and re prob want 10x more work!

    My initial thought was that the job fee only showed that for the call, and that the visit fee was hidden somewhere in the brief. Then, I just thought "Of course, it's RE". Well, well, probably well over two hours' work and all for almost zilch.:rotfl:

    I got a call asking me to do a burger breakfast on Monday, and for accepting it was given 2 elusive supermarkets, 2 coffees and a petrol for next month :T:T:T

    I do need to play hard ball with them more - they don't seem to understand why I don't want a burger lunch and dinner on the same day and why I don't jump at the chance to spend a dreary evening on my own miles away from where I live....

    i thought i was reading it wrong lol thought £** for a call isn't to bad, then read on and saw i had to visit. WHAT, like thats gonna happen lol

    Has to be the worst paid thing i have seen since starting (1 has been accepted as my avaliable has gone down)

    Who is actually taking these? I'd love to know why they are disappearing so quickly.

    Bloody idiots that's who. People who obviously have no self pride. Some of these dafties would happily pay RE for the jobs.:mad::mad:

    Those jobs are not showing for me. Pity as I was going to use the contact us thing and say "Your having a laff ain't you"

    You only need photo ID to produce if your age is queried. If you think your age may be queried, then you are probably best to cancel the assignment. I have never had my age queried in a betting shop, but my teenage years are long gone. [However, I do get slightly cross when I am sold an OAP ticket at the cinema - when I am being reimbursed, that is, not when I am paying for it myself!]

    Thanks for the info Proshopper, i'm waaaaay past being mistaken for being underage nowdays too :D. To think there was a time when i couldn't wait to be older :(. Oh well.... :p.

    I really don't "get" ESA! Apply for loads of jobs tell them why you should be considered and the date you can do the job, have a 100% record on hitting deadlines and have never cancelled a job YET the jobs don't get allocated then the deadline approaches, passes, and then the job is on the board again waiting for shoppers to apply!!!!!!

    I tried emailing stating xxx jobs approaching deadline and not yet allocated, I can do them on xxx day - no reply!

    Can I rate the ESA system for job allocation? They need to be mystery shopped!
