Gotta love RE:

Dear Mystery Shopper

We have xxx available in a county that is nowhere near you - woudl you like to do it for the same fee?

I wasn't surprised to see the deisgner ESA stuff has reduced the fee since I last did them. A bit more surprised that they need to be done on a specific day and even more surprised to see that the one near me needs to be conducted in Japanese!

Oh pooh! From now on, I am going to say my name is MIMI 1234. LOL. Not impressed at all, and the fee was not much either.

I've just done one and had to stand at the counter while the only cashier input the details.

Bet I was popular as there was a helluva queue when I finished

I have been emailed a form from RA regarding 'overnight stays' one of the questions is...'in NO less than 750 words explain why you should be chosen?' has any one done these before? Thought I'd get an idea before I spend a couple of hours on this one!!! To see if it was worth it.

RE Advice - RE have raised a proofreading query on an assignment already processed & paid (so it's an old one). Do I have to answer? It's a question I fully answered when i submitted the assignment and it would involve me digging through a tonne of paperwork to confirm. Very annoyed!! Wasn't sure whether they would be malicious and reverse payment?

Signed up for the ex-tern "university" clothes shop on RE earlier, mainly because the fee was double what it usually is and I'll be nearby tomorrow. Went on again this afternoon - it has been de-assigned without notice, and the job has reappeared... at the original fee.

Just, sigh.

Email them back saying just that. Explained the job has been proofread and paid, and should they wish you to dig through your paperwork you would like an appropriate sum of money adding to your account for the additional work.

But just about all the MS companies stipulate that we have to keep the paperwork for at least 3 months. This is the reason why, so we can trawl through it all at a moments notice should an enquiry come up.

I have popped an alert on for petrol visits and note that there was an alert for this yesterday but not available all over country so have alerted again today since there has been more uploaded today.

True, but if it's something that has already been addressed in the submitted and approved report I would not do the additional work if I believe my efforts had already addressed the matter.

There have been many people who have mentioned companies come back 3 months later asking for hair colour. This isn't something that I keep note of but will be on the submitted report

If what RE are asking is on the paper work (i assume which they gave to the shopper) I wouldn't want to do the extra leg work without a few as from the sounds of it it's slightly uneccessary.
