and one more thing- is anyone else being harrassed by esa? they are phoning me at least 6 times a day and leaving me messages saying is job available. i dont call them back as i am not available but they still call me (once 9 minutes apart). always call from different person so clearly do not communicate.thinking of removing number or deleting my account. dont do that much for them and is so annoying! :mad:

Yes!!! However, I did used to put on my profile that I was prepared to travel up to 50miles - that was just so I could view other jobs if I was ever going that far anyway - but I was getting endless calls from them! I've reduced the mileage I'm prepared to travel so now they don't call as often, but I do still get a few.

Anyway, long story short - if you adjust your profile to show a smaller area you are prepared to travel to, it may just reduce the number of calls you receive!

Yep, completely harrassed by ESA (usually by James), no point in saying "No Thanks" as someone else rings later with the same job

Speak of the devil! just had my first call of the day from ESA!

Does anyone know when Mystery Dining release their general 'shopping centre restaurant' client to bronze's for the month. Haven't really bothered much with them before, but with the new client they look intesting!

Do ESA offer extra incentives for tricky to shift jobs? I had a call about one today that I genuinely didn't want to and couldn't do and all I was offered was some mileage. Still maybe by call #6 things could change?

I just gave a really bad report about a supermarket cafe for a mystery shop - it was all true, it was awful, but I'm really quite worried they'll bin me off for the bad report. There was nothing good to say at all :eek:

I already got kicked from a another ms company for daring to say something bad about a certain golden arch. I really don't want it to happen again. But I could not give a good report.

If it's a Bottom slapping cafe, I too gave a horrendous report, and am still offered jobs. These cafes are generally terrible!

No it was their direct competitor - but that's a relief thanks :T

If it was a franchise cafe I expect it will be preferable, if it is the stores own then that won't go down so well. At the end of the day as long as you have acted with integrity and written objective comments relevent to the questionaire and can back it up with facts you can do no more. If they sack you then you are probably better off for it. I think the golden arch company are quite harsh as far as bad reports go, all the other seem fair IMO.

Ok, I need some help with a description. I've been out today & done quite a few shops. In 3 of them I've got to do descriptions where I just don't know how to describe them.

How would you describe a 'beard' which is like they had a goatie & then shaved but left the hair under their chin? Does this have a name?

Can't believe 3 people were like this today. I'm not sure if I'm feeling old / been hiding under a rock and missed this trend / the trend hasn't reached the sticks yet (I was in a city)!

9 reports to do so doing those I can first. After the discussion yesterday I did a REACT coffee today, took a sip & though blurgh doesn't taste of much, however, after a few mouthfuls, I was quite liking it. Not sure what that says about my tastebuds.

Think it's just a 'chin beard'.
