PMSL! To be honest, I love doing the EGG shops. The staff go from being awkward and not polite to super duper friendly when you go back. And they stroke your hand and smile so hard it looks like their face is gonna break! All good.

I never got that lol, I just got "Oh its them bloody kids coming in here and touching everything! Go get another one"

They go in to super nice mode here.

What is with bloody RE? How come all the butties/sarnies disappear when you pick one? I can remember doing the same store for GYP. They allowed up to 5 in 1 day, and I think it was 10 in a wave!

It took them about 2 weeks to get back to me and I got the same response as above.

Think I waited a couple of days, not that long.

Join the club :cool:

IIRC this company does NOT want experienced Mystery shoppers so when you apply do NOT mention you work for others.

I forgot that so got turned down.

(I had succesfully applied before but never did any jobs (not worth it) so got "de allocated" :eek:)

Hmmmm I didn't realise that! What an odd thing to want. Might be my issue then. Usually previous experience is a good thing.

Owlet - I might give em a ring next month if they're still advertising in the area my gran lives.

PLEASE check previous posts on Alerts thread before posting a new one. Every other alert lately seems to have been for sandwiches on RE.

I am going to change my photo on Helion as I bunged it on quick when I applied and it really is not flattering.
If I do this, will it just change for me to see, or will Helion note it and maybe think that that lady does scrub up quite decent really?

Sorry. I think that was aimed at me. I will not alert in the future!!!

Re: Lalli-Pickles bed alert, be warned as some are only a fee and no reimbursement. For the amount of reporting and the enquiry, it's not worth it. But each to their own.

You will just have to take my word for it that the new one is an improvement!
