Wow that was a quick reply thank you is the salad bowl the one from the salad cart or is it off the menu? does it come to the same amount as they reimburse you? sorry so many questions!! thank you again

Its off the 'help-yourself' salad bar and the nearest we have had was £1.50 over the reimbursment

if you have not done a job yet youwill be probationary and you will only be able to accept one job at a time. i think it is a pub job you need to do so prob wont see any jobs until there is a pub job in your area you can do.

they upload the jobs in batches it appears, and not very logical either! sometimes i see them when its on altert thread and other times i dont see them for hours or even days after! i have really random areas on mine as i do shops by my parents if i visit them 100 miles away. i see jobs for the different areas appear on different days!

My probationary job last year was a station, although that was a while ago now. It is limited but I think there are a few variations as to the jobs probationaries can do I believe.

Thanks, guys. See, they don't say that on their FAQs. All they say is that while you're probationary you can only accept one job at a time - they don't say anything about the fact they'll limit which jobs you can see/do! (Though I assumed it was something like that.)

So I guess I've just got to keep checking, especially on alerts for pubs and stations! :-)

After being on probation for several years (literally - I had to change my email address which closed 3 years ago!) I finally got round to doing a job for RE - a music store. I've been able to see most things listed on the alerts (though a lot of them too far away to be worthwhile).

I live in a small city which may be why I don't see all of them. Some won't be here and those that are may have been taken. Time to up the checking frequency!

You may need to be sitting down to read this post but I'm really impressed with RE! :T
I carried out an electrical store visit on Saturday only to find when I got home I'd shopped the wrong store and it was too late to do the correct one (there's only one branch of this electrical store in my town but the assignment postcode was for another store). I'd already submitted my report so I sent them an email explaining and asking if they wanted me to shop the other store. Today I've received a phonecall from them saying it was their mistake, the assignment doesn't need redoing and that I will still be paid! :j
Also last week I received a call asking me to carry out an urgent pub visit to be done today and they would pay me a (small) fee as well as the reimbursement. This morning there was no fee showing against the assignment so I contacted them to advise of this and I've just completed my assignment to find that they've doubled the agreed fee! :beer: As well this my sister and I had a lovely pub lunch and the report was extremely straight forward and easy to complete.

I don't work for RE (honest) but thought I'd share my joy with you all Perhaps the message is getting through to them...

I got an email from Bare saying the money had gone into my Paypal account. Paypal convert it to £ from € at a much better rate than RBS. Yay for paypal!

Hi,

Great to hear payments are coming in for March shops. To date all bank payments have been made and Paypal being completed in the next couple of days. Once that is paid it will arrive instantly with your paypal account. You can view your payment statements in your profile online.

I would to thank most of you for your patience and understanding and I look forward to the coming months years working together. Its never an easy thing starting up and most of you understand this.

A few more calls are now online for applications, note that the locations with the later due date will only be assigned in the second half of the month.

Have a great Tuesday afternoon and speak soon!
