    Grassroots - Ever since I signed up with them 3 weeks ago, i've never had a job show as available to me. I did email them, but they said everything on my account was fine, and there must just not be any jobs in my area.
    I see on the alerts thread today, there seems to be lots of new jobs with them, and still I have nothing. Has everyone else had jobs showing with them?

    This may sound strange but I suggest moving to the car park of your local supermarket/town centre.
  • They offer jobs based on how close you are - I've got the postcodes of my local shopping centres in my profile and I've done 23 jobs this year for them

    LOL. Just got an email from TNS which started HELLO SHOPPERS and I just had a mental image of Dale Winton pouncing from behind the aisles. That's what he said on SUPERMARKET SWEEP. LOL.

    Re: GR, check your date of birth. I never saw any visits for ages, and phoned them and they said it was all good. I later realised I put my date of birth in wrong. As soon as that changed, the visits came in.

    I have done a few supermarkets for GR, but never an online delivery. Which supermarket would this be? I am already in the carpark of one, wondering if I need a different one for online? Also, I am not seeing anything at all on GR today.

    Can anyone answer a quick question? I'm doing a restaurant MS for RE tonight, and I have to go with one other person. The brief says I must order 1 starter, 2 main meals, 1 dessert and 1 coffee. Does this mean we can ONLY order one starter and one dessert, or is it a minimum? Thanks to anyone who can help!

    Thanks to all the Grassroots advice everyone, it's much appreciated. I've got 3 clear days off work next week, and no jobs planned at all.

    I've been allocated a lovely shop with ESA which sells watches and other stuff. I have to make a purchase and spend a minimum amount. I've read the brief and it doesn't say anywhere that I can't take the item back. Has anyone done one of these or have any information regarding getting the item refunded?

    It would be a great fee if I could take the item back and keep the reimbursement.

    Thanks in advance.

    As long as you order the things listed, you can order additional stuff on top of that, as long as you know the reimbursement will only cover the things that they specifically want you to buy (if that!).
