    Oooh lovely. Hope you have loads of fun and catch shed loads of sunshine.

    Does anyone work for BLUE APPLE? Had an email on Monday about a terribly swanky Thai restaurant which I replied to and said I would do, and never heard a thing off her again? I know they once offered me a frozen food shop and did the same, i.e. never replied to me. Is this normal for them?

    Ive done work for them yonks ago, got my details from another company
    i had offer or same restaurant chain too over next few weeks.
    They are ok company ive certainly worked for worst. the email did say that they were emailing every one and would not reply (yup is common unless allocating) but they wanted one visit per week for next few weeks so if wanted them they would compile a list of people so you may get a later week.

    I like Blue Apple, very nice people. I must admit I do get emails if the job has been allocted elsewhere though. They do sometimes take a few days before allocating as Whitelabel mentioned.
  • For the first time ever I have got a great assignment from RE, a 4 day holiday in Spain for 2 people !!! Flying from my local airport too.
    It did make me laugh though that the flight operator specified specific times and dates I have to fly yet there is no availability on those dates !!!
    Of course I have pay for it myself first ,but cant moan really.
    Will update you all on my return !


    I had the same problem with my holiday assignment but the allocator was ever so helpful and gave me different dates.

    I've found them a great company to work for, being in Scotland they have plenty of frozen food work to do...

    Only bad thing I can say about them is they still use Excel for reports, so not that bad at all.

    I can't bear to do the ESA frozen food shop with the cringeworthy scenario they have this month!

    It would have been nice to have the choice :-(

    ESA want a lot of work in their pharmacy jobs, a mystery shop, exit interview and an audit :eek:

    Indeed! I don't do them until they raise the fee.

    MF phoned me at quarter to 10 last night trying to get me to take one of those awful exit interview jobs. They weren't even offering any more money for it and for 7.5 hours of hell I made it quite clear I wouldn't be doing it. I was annoyed at being called at that time too, I thought it might be a family emergency or something and the job didn't even need doing until the weekend so they could've waited until the morning anyway.

    Not happy with MF right now!
