  • The alert for retail Active clothes. Didn't they used to be on GR?

    Never did one but did see it occassionally.

    Just looked at the notes. Purchase and return but not on the same day (two trips required) for a fee that makes RE look kind.

    That has to be amoung one of the poorest jobs i've seen about for a while.
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!

    O2 are the spawn of satan and need to die in a fire. They'll lie through the teeth to get you and alter the transcripts of your conversations and claim the recordings were "accidentally deleted" so you can't prove otherwise.

    Avoid em.
    Been with O2 for yonks. Never, ever had a problem. Have home phone and broadband with them and it's a far better, faster service than we used to have. Have been with BT, Bulldog and someone else and the service was always down, don't think I can think of one single time when our broadband has been down in the years that we've been with them.

    Snap! You won't be doing one either then! If you got a reimbursement towards a purchase that would make it better - even React, the "Kings" of poorly paid purchase & return scenarios pay better than that!!!!

    I think RA have become the new RE, the fees they had for the cheap clothing shop a while back were pathetic, although this is even worse....

    It is an awful fee.
    Although I'm still doing one of them (there are 4 nearby though)... purely because I walk past it every day so it isn't going to put me out of my way in order to do it :P

    Maybe they'll increase the fee if no-one accepts them though? (hopefully)

    I'm sure I saw them on GR just before Christmas.

    The sad thing is, all my local ones have been snapped up, so someone is prepared to do them for that fee !

    I wouldn't bother even if I walked past it. 20 mins in store. 15 mins to write the report. 10 mins to reurn the item = 45 minutes

    (just as a rough guess).

    For that fee. I can stay at home and make more than that completing online surveys from the confort of my chair.

    Good point.
    There is never anybody in it mind you so hopefully it'll be an in and out visit :)

    Off-topic, but I hate onepoll. They've screened me out so much this week. I'd give up if I wasn't more than halfway to threshold.

    And it isn't me. Even I'm not that desparate.

    Its not me either. I feel I am worth more than that. We all need a bit of self pride and self respect in this job, otherwise the MS companies will walk all over you.
