    They are saying they are short of shoppers in various areas, although I suppose they don't realise there's really just a shortage of shoppers who are prepared to work for peanuts.

    I was quite pleased to see the email really - means more and more people are ignoring such low paying jobs.

    Hmmm, it was only a few months ago that RA dumped me without warning. My flight home was delayed by a day and I missed a job that I was supposed to do on the day I was originally due to land. I went to log in on the website to find the number to call to reschedule the job but was told that my account had been locked. I hardly did any work for them anyway so didn't bother to follow it up but I was annoyed especially as what work I had done for them was always on time. I presumed they had more than enough shoppers on their books if they were so quick to dump me!

    I do 29 a month but none of the ones around me

    i think Id have to cover a 40-50 mile radius to cover that many around here looking at the store locator

    I gather its worth it though

    Id rather cover more jobs locally and spend less time travelling usually unless the fee is really worth it

    Not been MSing for months, well not properly, only my local bank branch and occasional store in my hometown (walking distance) so basically, 4 a month.

    Just accepted a job at a tyre place within walking distance of my home but on reading the brief it says I have to take 4 covert photos of POS material within the store. This is mental. I've been in there to have my tyres done, it's a tiny office, always manned. How the hell am i suppose to do this? :mad:

    How hard is it to PM the new user and explain nicely why we don't chat in that thread?
    VERY when it pretty obvious not to do it!

    I'm sure you all get this a lot, but would someone mind pm'ing me the name of the 'company that cannot be named' and the 'dining company that cannot be named' or are they the same thing? Cheers :)
