    Aw I feel bad that I got 6 jobs and you didn't :(

    At least you got the pharmacy jobs! There was 9 on there (2 in Wigan) but I couldsn't justify doing all 9 jobs for such little profit once I'd driven over 50 miles! Plus there is only so much of that product I could store :rotfl:

    Don't be so silly.....silly billy :rotfl:I'd have taken them if was the other way round.....never feel guilty for taking work, thats the name of the game, I'm sure everyone will agree with me. It's swings and roundabouts. What you get today, I might get tomorrow or next week when your out doing your shops.

    Yeah those pharmacy need to be nearby and a large cluster to make them pay. I'm in Preston Tuesday cheating on an exam, lol, so booked 5 over that way. No way would I travel 50 mile round trip for that fee.

    Well I'm off to do a quicky town centre job at a bank, speak later folks.

    :)

    Hello all,
    I'm a long time watcher but a first time poster, started up mystery shopping late last year as I'm on a gap year (off to uni next year) and work really has dried up the end of this month! I was just wondering if anyone could recommend me some companies that do the age restricted mystery shopping (ie challenge 21 / 25) Ive found this to be a very lucrative market as it doesn't seem there's many 18yr old mystery shoppers around like me! :D The ones that Ive found so far are TNS (supermarket jobs) and ESA (petrol station jobs) and another company I work for that I've never seen mentioned on here are Serve Legal, they're particularly good specialising in challenge 25 and they tend to have plenty of work across the country most months (and if any 18/19yr old are looking to join feel free to mention I pointed you there way :p:D). React wanted me to do a job the other day but they wanted me to buy and use fake ID so I declined that not wanting to get arrested!

    So, does anyone know of any other companies who want to employ youngsters like me? :p

    thanks

    I noticed this on the IMS website recently - www.oldenoughtodrink.co.uk

    They need Mystery Shoppers aged 18-20 to do their Challenge 21 Programme so may be worth checking it out - if you're not already with them that is! :D
    ;)

    I agree since the self allocation system has come into play I haven't had a single job...before the self allocation I was able to pick up half a dozen jobs a week...:(

    Hmmm :(

    I'm sure it will sort itself out. I don't think yesterday was a good example tbh because there were only them few assignments all in one little suburb near to my home, so I don't think there was much more on the board yesterday.

    I understand where peeps not on self allocation as I am atm :mad: (even though I've had the email) may feel they won't get work but I'm certain they will as it is rolled out and sorted.

    Cool - just done a fast food quick visit and instantly won a hot drink and dessert for another day.

    Just did my food job for react! I asked for an adult burger meal and asked for no cheese and she only charged me for a small burger/fries and drink. The receipt says DBL CHS ML so im hoping that means its ok!

    It took me 3 re-writes of that post to make sure I did not mention the client!
