But they do. You can hear them sigh. It's like they are thinking "Why can you not travel 50 miles for an extra 30p!".

Its true, and they HATE it when you offer to do it if they cover mileage "I'll do this 85mile round trip to do 2 or 3 stores if you'll cover my fuel costs." "Don't worry about it, we'll ask someone else"...actually had this conversation about 2 weeks ago.

ESA haven't responded to my application... I'm thinking maybe I'm glad about that?!

I've got loads of work on, trying to put up POS materials in shops that are already covered in posters and stickers from previous waves. It's pretty soul destroying to be told no over and over again, but each job is only taking a couple of minutes, so I'm despondent but quids in :undecided

ditto, though who ever did the previous wave (I think staff from their sister company) for some of the ones ive been to has made a right mess of some of them, ive seen the staff room stuff on main doors, air bubbles on freize material thats also upside down, have spoke to the company (as needed more pos as didnt have enough of some stuff and too much of other) and mentioned it and they want comments on report forms and are considering paying me to revist and redo the freize stuff on some of them... so much for proof readers checking the quality of reports and photos from the first time round !

Depends on the jobs your taking, money can be ok, especially on the Eggs jobs but the constant "will you travel 50 miles for no extra pay" calls quickly get annoying. Still could be worse. Could be Gyp

I've been doing a POS / Leaflet distribution one at a local supermarket and its actually been fine, I'm on first name terms with some of the management there now. Most of them are really nice.

Gap burger job today - The manager is so busy running to get the broom out of the cupboard he nearly trips me up with it, then apologies way too many times. Next he gets the broom at totally the wrong angle and runs it right across suit trousers of smart guy in queue ......had to try so hard not to snort with laughter.

Have just worked out you can order jobs on the Bare job board by company rather than the random order they normally come up in. Feel a little :embarasse it took me that long to work it out :rotfl:

Does anyone else find that on ESA they get jobs listed "within 10 miles" that are nowhere near. I always get ones in Ireland (I am not)
