    I'm very impressed with GR, did a slapper delivery last night and it is showing as paid via BACS this morning.

    I have been completing 2 assignments each week in a low cost supermarket in a town 15 miles from me - the town has 2 branches of this store - the company pays me mileage - this makes it worth my while making the trip.

    I am registered with a few MS companies - and another one has contacted me today to see if i would be intrested in completing an assignment for them - the problem is - its the same stores that I do regularly for another company - and I have read the assignment notes and it is the exact same assignment brief. The payment however is lower and this company do not pay travel expenses.

    Am I right in thinking that my orginal company is going to lose the contract with the store and they are going to move to the cheaper MS company??? Does this happen much??

    Not at all happy with this - as I have been completing them almost a year now - and its great regular income!

    reply back to them telling them you need a higher price (the amount you currently get + mileage) to complete the visit

    I'd seek quite a bit more for it. You do NOT want MF getting this contract.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    Sure, some clients go from here to there to everywhere. But I would not worry. Sometimes they are just doing trials. The underground sandwich was once covered by 3 different ms companies, and some banks are done by more than 1 ms company too.

    No idea why folk are saying RE/MF fees are very tiny for that particular visit. All 4 in my immediate area have been picked up. Guess someone must need the money badly.

    Hmmm, must have forgotten to take my flashing neon "I'm a mystery shopper" badge off before heading out today...

    Started the day with a cashier waving at me from behind the counter as I joined the queue in a bank. :shocked:

    Ended it with the manager of an electrical store (which I haven't shopped for 5 months) following me out to the car park to ask if I'd found everything ok then finishing the conversation with "See you next time!"

    :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Ah well, it's the weekend and I'm having a few days off. :D

    JEBUS H ME I've just seen the MF discounter brief, I thought I was on RA looking at the fee.

    I think I will just stick with the betting shops.

    Still some round here.

    Those are A LOT of 'mental notes' they're wanting me to take for that money. :p
