Which one?

Pharmacies are ok
Cheap retailer is poor
& cheap clothing retailer is abysmal

Take a wild guess ?;)

Do ESA hate me? I applied ages ago and I haven't heard back either way. Ah well, with a 35 hrs p/w job, I don't have endless amounts of time for MS and between gap and RE they keep me busy enough, with the odd GFK/Bare thrown in for fun.

Is anyone else struggling to be awake this Monday morning!?

Just checking ;-) , I know some people have done the cheap store as they were passing, I'm not sure I'd bother with the clothing retailer if I was walking past the door though!

I went in one to have a look but I could not see anything for the reimbursement, that was worth having.Add in a changing room visit and an enquiry it is a bit of a ****take.

Agreed, with the fee/reimbursement I 'might' have taken it if passing, but the changing room + staff queries (if I remember rightly - I went onto the board and declined all the local jobs) was a complete and utter ****take!

That job has got to be the biggest MS ****take I've come across. I'd be interested to know if anyone can beat it, can't be many worse! Actually, RA does have some real doozies. (Some alright ones too, mind.) That one, the cheap shop and another clothes shop, I wouldn't even do those if I was passing - or going into the shop anyway for that matter! There is actually a branch of the latter clothes shop in the building I work in, and I really just can't be bothered for the fee...

Is RA trying to beat RE? Have they already done so?

Hmmmm tough one, you've got the RE jobs that are below reimbursement but can be sold as 'money off a meal'/'money off a drink' to a certain type of shopper. The cheap RA shop you could potentially walk out of the shop with a few pennies and an item you don't want, but who would want to!

Has anyone still got the job notes for the recent wave of RE watery sandwiches? My copy was downloaded on to my now slightly knackered laptop which is waiting for my OH to come home and try to fix it for me.

I've just checked my payment and it looks like I'm not getting all the reimbursement although I did spend more than just the sandwich and I don't think it was mentioned in the notes as being 'at own' expense given the scenario.
