    Getting a bit p'd off with RE. Everyone keeps putting up all these ALERTS and I NEVER see anything. Hope I have been blocked for certain visits. I know they sometimes don't allow you to do visits if you have done them recently, so may be that I guess.

    Did some EGGS today. Bleeding hell, did I make myself that obvious? Asked my product question and I am sure the member of staff must have clicked. She went into super duper nice mode. And then when I took my product back in to complain, she rushed over and asked if I wanted a refund, and I didn't even open my mouth to say I was not happy with it. LOL. And when she gave me my money back, she grabbed my hand and stroked it. OMG! Anyone else had any fun stuff like this?

    Got another 3 visits tomorrow. And then some more at the weekend. Woohoo.

    Maybe we smell and that's why we never see anything on RE. Just joking. :A:A

    I always take a huge glamorous bag and stock all the eggs in the there and cover up with a newspaper. I did 3 in 1 day and almost had a breakdown. LOL. Good luck love.
  • Haven't had my hand stroked but I had one where the enquiry was fine and I got to the till and asked about the loyalty card and the service ramped up about 3 gears then when I went back into the shop with my milk the staff started giggling and were standing with a pint ready to swap.
  • i think it's because we're just too great and we're too out of their league :P

    im going to have to get one of those granny trolleys xD glamourous!

    Quite possibly. There is a lovely guy at RE and I always email him when I can't see anything. Apparently I have not been blocked.

    Remember to keep your receipts safe. I've an easy day tomorrow. Tea/Coffee shop for ESA and 2 x posh mens clothes shops for Retail Maxim. Hopefully I will pick up a dropped RE visit in that area and it's all good. Wooohooo. Had to dump a super posh restaurant as just did not have enough time to do it. Sigh.

    I would fill it in anyway and explain on Monday when they open. I know it would be annoying not to get paid, but I've found it's best to show willing when it's your fault that the job didn't go to plan.


    Thanks for your advice Becles! Did the questionnaire, sent an email explaining why I had a handwritten receipt and got a reply this a.m. to say there is no problem at all. Even got a good grading on my report! And to think I was not going to bother even doing the questionnaire...... :)

  • Doing a gyp pizza later - does it have to be medium (I want large!) and can I order more than 1 side?
    ta x

    Can get large; can't get more than one side. The assignment notes list all the conditions - to be stuck to AT ALL TIMES :D

    My fave one from RE's name starts with a P. He is the bestest.

    OMG. Still showing 0 visits on RE. What gives? Is someone just pinching everything as it comes up or am I just too slow? LOL.

    PS. Got 6 boxes of eggs. Anyone got any good recipes?
