    Couldn't agree more.

    I have done 42 of these in the past, including some last minute/ enhanced jobs. I won't touch any this time round, and they will probably be hard for them to shift. Hopefully by next time they will be more sensible and all will be back out of rotational restrictions.

    Used to enjoy a nice day out in the country collecting eggs.

    But they are a clever agency! Didn't put any in certain areas for ages, and I bet there are people (like me) who just picked stuff up without looking at the fee cos they were so excited at finally seeing them. There were about 1300 visits added, now only 900ish remain. I think everyone should dump all the visits back and say in the "why did you release it" field that the pay rate is a joke!
  • Think i have competition close. Somebody has whipped all the esa jobs near me. Very odd since they normally aren't touched.

    God job i didn't really want them lol


    Same here or else they have not put any on. I can't believe that there are 1300 jobs and nothing within 15 miles of me. Seems a bit strange as usually there are a good dozen or so.

    Having looked a bit closer, I am glad there are non for me. Less pay and no reimbursment! Thats really taking the p**s! Dont think I'll be doing any of them again but its a shame, I did like spending the day on an egg shopping circuit.

    Just picked up a few and then realised the all inclusive bit! Are they for real?? :eek:

    I may have to drop them now as it won't cover petrol. I guess can do the local one and buy the cheapest branded item.

    How do we know if they want photos, can't see mention of them on any of mine.
  • I picked up 4, which made a "sort of" circuit but I had not picked up on the "all inclusive" part so they are going back to ESA. Given that I find the eggs are not cheap in those stores that is a fair bit of the fee gone so not worth my while.

    I have released mine back and explained that with the cost of petrol with not having a reimbursement it makes it not worth it. However I have noticed that all the ones in my area have disappeared.
    No Matter what you do there will be critics.

    I keep forgetting that I'm not old enough to do the jewellery jobs. Not fair!
