Got a remittance slip from REACT so they will be paying soon.

1 of my 3 ESA shops finally got "OK'd TO PAY". That's over a fortnight it took them! Whoa nelly! Everyone had theirs done?

All my egg shops and related shops for that client seem to get OK'd very quickly including two I did yesterday but I've got three from their other clients that I did last week that are still pending

They are due to report to the egg shop client on Monday so will have to clear any outstanding by then. All my outstanding ones are other clients and seem to be taking forever

Oh and if anyone has an electrical shop for RE (the one in TNS supermarkets electical bit), just a reminder that you MUST get served, even if that means waiting for 2 hours!! Otherwise you won't get paid the poxy fee they are offering.

At least when TNS do the said visit, they give you a timeframe and if you are not served after x amount of minutes, you can abandon that section. I've done this store for TNS numerous times in the past, and have only been served about once as they never have anyone there. I always get paid and they do not accuse me of lying when I say no one was there, unlike bloody RE.

Funnily enough I had the same problem, but apparently I was also lying about the lack of product by the brand at anywhere near the price point given as the budget!

Funnily enough, I didn't see a single bloody laptop made by the S company. Errrrrrrrrrrr! Sorry, it just really wound me up, being called a liar. I don't think I would have amassed 2000+ on RE if I was such a liar!!! Calm down Mimi! Calm down.

tania-jo. Don't worry about it. If you're sure you got everything right you'll be fine. I've this theory that they (The fast food people) do this to people just to confirm to them exactly who you are, what you look like and what car you drive. Why they want to know all this I haven't worked out yet. But it seems to happen to a lot of people (me included) who have a perfectly good report rejected and query the timings.

Perhaps what is happening is the restaurant manager just rejects a report knowing that head office will view the cctv. Head office will then tell them the exact times you were there AND the receipt number so the restaurant manager can then identify exactly which car is the mystery shopper's. The manager then 'admits' he was wrong and does a bit of grovelling. But from now on he has a picture of you and your car and can stick it up on the wall for people to look out for.

Mine was cameras but that sounds like a plan to me

Hmm think we can get them to allocate us any work to offset the travel costs.:o

Sweety, it's not just me and you. Various allocators have been really winding people up on here. I don't have any problems with any of the lady allocators, they all seem dead nice and friendly, it's just this particular bloke. He always has a chip on his shoulder.

Right Meena, give me a booty call now and calm me down love

Thankfully I don't ever see these wonderful electrical shops on RE, just a shed load of pubs with reimbursements that don't cover what needs buying and betting shops
