  • Jeez - Those MF Supermarkets really don't want anyone to do them do they. Possibly the lowest fee ever for a job ?

    From the Alerts Thread:

    Cheap Supermarkets - MF

    The fee is even cheaper too !

    The fee is insulting - I have earned more than that this morning by doing surveys whilst writing up reports - shame on you MF!

    Weirdly enough, they are all being snapped up! Sorry, but that is just slave labour. I bet the report is mahoosive and all!
  • Can't believe people are taking them. Oh, wait , hang on, yes I can. Muppets...

    MF had a feature in teh sun remember so there will be lots of eager people to take them...

    and to think those gypsys got prison sentences for servitude... only difference is that people are willingly doing it for mf

    I took one in the last wave but i emailed them first and asked straight up for 5 x fee which they said yes to straight away so are more than capable of paying a better fee

    I thought about that, but I was asked for the house number and postcode and I guess if they didn't match up I'd look a little silly not knowing my own address.

    I've been known to use my own postcode but the number of the house next door - my neighbours must wonder why they get post with various strangers' name on it... :o

    The report is actually almost identical to IMS's. I did my local a few weeks ago as I was planning to go there anyway and knew the brief like the back of my hand. I imagine those that have taken them are doing the same - definitely not one you'd go out of the way to do! Although I'm pleased to see the awful IMS lose a client, I'm disappointed that MF have already dropped the fee!
