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 didn't see the feature in the Sun (what day was it?), but I'm not too concerned - people may well sign up and have a look, but I can't see many sticking around once they realise there's actual work involved and not often much reward...

It was in the captain crunch section and not big but perhaps enough to get some people to sign up




maybe should email him and complain the jobs are less than minimum wage...

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!

Sorry love. I know you don't like IMS and they treated you really bad, but the visit they do is such a doddle. It says it will take about 30 minutes to do but I am in and out in 10.

MF are dropping fees like it's no ones business. I see the bed fee has taken a nosedive as have their clothes shops. These days I only pick MF visits as fillers when I am doing a circuit.

Are there actually ANY MF jobs where you get paid to eat out and your bill (minimum spend) refunded?

The take away kiosks spring to mind but otherwise no restaurants I know of. Usually the minimum isn't even covered.

What am I missing??

It's the same visit and pretty much the same report - I managed 7 minutes on my last visit (for MF). I stand by what I've said, but it's disappointing to see MF continually drop what were already not amazing fees. I do some betting shops, but not much other work for them, even as fillers, as it's not worth my time anymore.

The ad is definitely misleading, it's virtually impossible to get the bill refunded, at least in full, as implied here.

It is possible in some of the Pub food scenarios - if you drink water and eat the least appetising options. Go on, get out there and have a really miserable time !

Hence why I called it an ad

Good idea though, think I might drop him a line.
