It's dire out there at the moment. I have only one job this week too. There's nothing about. You missed NOTHING. Even this forum has been quiet.

I'll second that. I have 1 bank, 1 bookies, 1 restaurant, 1 nightclub and 1 pharmacy all for RE except the bank so no money there but I fancied a night out after the January rush. Next week is equally dead, 1 restaurant, 1 nightclub, same company, same excuse.

But hopefully there will be a massive load of uploads for Feb next week (or is that wishful thinking)

At least it's RE that got the mention, seeing as they probably gie the worst first impression of Mystery Shopping to those who are planning to use it as some get rich quick scheme.
If people assume that all companies reports are so long and tedious for such little fee, I would imagine they would get bored and think it's not worth it very quickly.

Really quiet for me this month too so I'm signing up to yet more agencies! Anyone had any experience with OB Services?

I don't usually trust companies who won't publish their address and office number. There is only a mention of someone's mobile number and ability to send emails.

Does anybody find TNS a little bit unfriendly :rotfl::rotfl:

A little??? More like exceedingly!!! Not to mention rude. some of their emails are written in a really offensive tone.

Well that's weird. React actually gave me some work.

That's weird. Regarding Max's alert I can't see any of the storage phone calls. Only the audits. I have done the calls before so there should be no reason why I can't see them. Can anyone else see them? Or are they all gone already?

Any ideas how long after signing up to TMDC I should expect to get a "yay" or "nay" from them pls?

Two mins MG, I'll go check...I've not done any of them before...

EDIT: No, they're not showing for me.

I can't remember but you could ring them. I call them every now and then to ask them if they have any restaurants available in my area as they are never on the job board and I managed to snag one for early Feb. They are really nice over the phone and very helpful.
