    You have to return it within the timeframe. So essentally you have a 4 hour window for purchase and return. You can't return after the times stated.

    Thank you. I'll have to leave that job this time, but that's very useful info to have. :)

    Would someone mind PM'ing me the company the "big orange supermarket" uses? I work right near one but haven't seen any job on the company I am signed up to.
  • lolz, I think they should. The scenario was ridic I think (for RE). There's one shop where you have to be a regular betting shop customer, fair play. This one you didn't, and you're basically asking to be shown how to place a bet. So nobody who was a regular customer would ever ask that, which is fine, but then they wanted you to stay in there for 15 minutes?! And do what?! The placing the bet took about 3 minutes, I obviously wasn't a regular customer and I wasn't about to stand next to these weirdos* (*note, not calling all betting shop customers weirdos, but they all were in THIS shop!) pretending to watch horse racing for 10 minutes, then sidle up to the desk and go, oh how do you place a bet?

    Sighhhhh! Give me burgers any day!

    I found it a little bit testing when "covertly" trying to take photo outside the betting shop and a police car was sat in the bus lane outside the store! I'm sure they thought I was a bit odd! Lol :eek:

    I don't worry too much about anyone outside seeing me take photos -I've had security staff in shopping centres notice and just just nod or ignore me. I think they know why I'm there.
