Seriously?

Hey, don't have a go at me . Work has definitely been a bit thin on the ground recently, and a lot of others have mentioned it before me.
I guess it's a Christmas thing and bosses have enough on already without going through a load of MS reports that will be distorted due to the increase in queue lengths and times, aswell as the time and patience staff have to deal with enquiries.
Hopefully it'll pick up come Jan/Feb.

It's always a bit hot and cold for me. One month I will have 2 shops. The next month I will have 40 shops. I've decided to do visits further away, for example York and Manchester. I also think once you build your reputation with allocators, they are more than happy to allocate visits to you if you say you are going to be in a particular area. RM are lovely and will trawl through their system to give you visits wherever you are going to be. Even RE can be helpful!

Hope you all get shed loads of visits and soon. :A:A:A

Seriously? RM sent out about 10 urgent shops via email to me yesterday. Had I not have been in York today, I would happily have snapped them all up.

Also, keep logging onto GFK, they just seem to put visits on 1 by 1 throughout the day. I managed to pick about 4 up all at various times throughout the last 2 days. ;)

was you working in york??

Erm. Perhaps if you stayed OFF my turf, I WOULD get a load of visits. Most of my visits now seem to come from companies ringing me. Had one today, wanted me to do a video visit 40 mile round trip with handbag camera they were sending me through the post which I'd have to stay in for to accept (spacial delivery) and then send it back. Visit two depts in store. What would you video shoppers say is a fair fee for that? I thought what they offered was too low so turned it down. It would have taken up a whole afternoon.

I was getting my girlfriend a really posh handbag. Why? Because she's worth it! :A:A:A

Angel, I don't think they would let you do these visits. They were for men. Mind you, guess you could dress up as one. MEGALOLS.

That could prove to be quite difficult as I have a definite womans shape. But if I threw in a few ”bonza mate!” I might get away with it.

well the visit would have only been 30 min tops im guessing this was was for Nick? -- fees Ic an't discuss but since you didn't have the equipment I would be guessing around the cost of 10 burger meals.

How does RM actually work? I get the odd e-mail from them. Do they have favoured people that get offered most of the work and then send out e-mails to newer shoppers if they haven't filled the jobs?
