    Yep, ESA is working ok now.

    Got a busy week ahead, as i've been lucky enough to pick-up local jobs here and there _party_. The rest of the month is still barren though. All together now... You have to ac-cen-tuate the positive...e-lim-inate the negative...:D

    I'll get me coat :p

    In my experience, this company uses any excuse possible not to pay. They will ask you to go back and if you can't/won't then I'm almost 100% sure you won't be paid.

    I wasn't paid for one of my shops last month because I didn't take photos of the crisps that were stacked to the ceiling 20 feet of the ground (I'm sure they are dummy tubes not real ones). They wanted me to go back to take one photo (40 mile round trip)!

    And there have been various other instances when they don't pay too.

    Ooops, what happened ? I did 5 this morning which was a bit daring as I felt all alone with the shelf stackers as I clicked away, I did have to laugh though, in the Jamie Oliver store, I took my 65 photo's :eek: and picked up a couple of clothes for my Daughter, one of which was marked up with 2 prices and the staff had the cheek to question if I had put the second ( cheaper ) price on it :mad: I did chuckle to myself, they are so unobservant they think a barcode error is the customers fault, yet failed to notice me clicking away in the aisles all on my own looking totally out of place.

    As for the payment, alas, I think you will find you will not be paid, just like if a photo goes blurry when they enlarge it and you are requested to return and take another, you are not paid for the return trip. :o

    Mwahaha!

    I'm with you CB on this one, I've not got much else on this month. A couple of crisps/supermarket jobs and a couple for GR, but other than that not too much.

    Going to consolidate the number of companies i'm registered with, as looking again and again at certain sites and seeing nothing is doing my nut in (React, Bare, MCE and RE to name but a few!).

    Retail Active is a company I hardly even check ...just did and there's a job that needed doing today - typical!

    Edited to ask.... Who has nicked my wine??? can't find it! Hubby is off out to watch footy tonight (he's a Newcastle Supporter....bless) and I'm bored already..... I don't even have any ED surveys to do! Has anyone that has done the retail surveys had them vetted yet?
