At last just got another 3 egg jobs .. had to reject the last 5, didn't think they would allocate me anymore,, wahoo... :j :j

also has anyone done the funeral job's b4 ??? if so what do you reckon on them, not sure weather to apply or not... they seem to be hanging about a bit,:rotfl: don't think anyone wants them ...lol :eek:

I have decided not to even apply for jobs with this company anymore as I think their allocating system is so awful. I have done a few jobs for them in the past, mostly when they have phoned me up with last minute urgent jobs, and out of over 30 applications in the last couple of weeks I got allocated none :mad:.

No disrespect to you FB, as I fully understand why you rejected your 5, but it doesn't make sense that someone who's rejected jobs gets offered more, when someone who's helped them out in the past with urgent jobs gets none??

Try the Hand Cooked crisps - return saying that they are really greasy. They are really greasy, and on two occasions I was backed up by other shoppers who also disliked them. There's also no question of wanting a replacement so more cash!

"Death" visits are quite simple. Listen to the story, leave, return and reveal, look around. They are always lovely people, and the scenario is positive not morbid.

I have also applied for a few "death" shops but they have not been allocated yet.

I only got a couple last month. First one I bought a tuna sandwich, took a bite, then put it on the heater in my car for a few seconds. Then I complained that the bread was stale (heater dried it out ).

The other one, I copied someone else on here and took a pin out with me, bought milk and made a tiny hole in the container. Well, I tried to make a tiny hole, but, stupidly, I made the hole in the bottom of the milk, it was bigger than I intended and started p***ing milk out all over the place . I'm sure they must have sussed me out (as there's no way I wouldn't have noticed the leak before I left the shop!), but they changed it anyway. I will try that one again this time round, but will make the hole at the top next time!

None of the stores local to me actually sell own-brand crisps or I'd just do that!

I agree totally, I've helped out too and was not allocated any 'egg jobs'.

I've applied for a death visit, but don't think I'll get it. It looks quite interesting though

Very quiet around here at the moment, I did 2 petrol jobs last week but that's been it since Jan! Anyone else also quiet?

I've got 4 banks, 5 eggs and a chemist with double fee this week. Not too bad really.

I'm sat chuckling at 'death visit' ....sounds like you're going to have to kill the member of staff who doesn't meet expectations!

lol sf123 - I thought the milk scenario was pretty good.

I have bought cheese twists and deliberately broken them. Other times I have bought sandwiches but never thought about using the car heater to dry the bread! One assistant challenged me and told me there was nothing wrong with it but the others have been fine. In fact their sandwiches are really nice except for the salmon one - it is like paste and I always feel fully justified if I manage to get one of them.

:rotfl:I may kill someone in ESA if I have wasted all that time filling in their daft applications and get hee haw. I will email or phone them though and tell them where to shove their eggs.

My final drinks audits and pawn shops all went well today. Interesting slight variance in what I was quoted for the same items.

I applied for the pawn shops but didn't get any - they sounded interesting
