  • I have just seen the new 'Egg' Shops brief, and I wont be doing them anymore. You are no longer required to purchase Eggs but two products, one you need to return (Same as before), but then you leave again, re-enter with a letter of authorisation and do a overt audit, All for the same free as before. The jobs are now on the web site (Down south only at the moment) so you can have a quick look.

    There were always some that involved an MS and then an audit (similar to the pharmacies) the job you've described sounds like these. I am sure there was a quid or two more on top of the normal fee though.

    Ha ha ha ha you must be pulling my leg, so you have to:
    • Check promotional Items
    • Ask 2 questions (one to directions to a product your not going to by and the other asking a randomer to sort your tea out)
    • Then go back and complain
    • Then do an audit
    • and assuming they still want 3 pictures
    Now, as bad as RE are, thats taking the p**s somewhat.

    I wanna see the lists of things you check (can't view the questionaire). Be there is at least 30 items.
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!

  • Just put back a RE pub meal in Dundee- to be done this week if anyone is interested.
    NB it says meal anytime, but they only serve meals 12-3 and the remit has changed to drinks only, if you can't go 12-3.

    My brief is usual MS - 1 question & no eggs, Purchase at least 2 items up to £3, complaint then audit inc promotional items. No photos. The fee doesn't have the extra couple of quid it used to but they only take me about 40 mins and the online report doesn't take very long at all. My shops are all local so for me it's not too bad. I've picked up some for this week. I'd rather do these than the RE questionnaires!
    SPC 8 (2015) #485 TOTAL: £334.65
    SPC 9 (2016) #485 TOTAL £84
    SPC 10 (2017) # 485 TOTAL: £464.80
    SPC 11 (2018) #485
