    Go Dazza. I must have had one of the awkward allocators. RE staff are not what they used to be. I can remember them being friendly and chatty and nice, now they are totally the opposite.

    I hardly speak to the RE staff so don't care about how nice they are. But what I care about is them offering fees that reflect the minimum wage because they are failing right now.

  • They have just announced today that they are closing 67 of them. That will leave them with less than 100....how the once mighty have fallen!
    People don't want to eat that kind of s**t anymore. It was always overpriced too.

    I dunno, I've always found Benita to be fantastic.

    I like her too, she seems really funny and the type you could have a laugh with :)

    Agreed, I think I'd rather deal with surly staff at a fair-paying company than nice staff at the likes of RE and its' ilk. Although the nicer staff do tend to be at the higher-paying companies, in my experience.

    If you have a look at US based mystery shopping forums, this company is well known for taking at least 90 days to pay its' American 'workers'... So, it's not just us UK people they're discriminating against!


    Even more reason for not having them on the recommended MCS front page them, waiting over 4 months for payment and ignoring emails is not how reputable companies work.

    Wow. That's too bad. I swear by Service Scan. Never had a problem with them at all, and the lady who allocates is an absolute love.

    I utterly failed to get served in an electrical retailer this afternoon. Eventually left, as it was goingto make me miss my other visits. I have manflu (despite not being a man) and it's making everything take forever. Blah!
