    I've got something from them, but I can't figure out what.

    At risk of mentioning fees,the phone shops pay a round number, I've not charged them any fuel, so what have I done for them that's paid sick squid?
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    Anyone figure out why some of the ESA crisp crushing jobs pay slightly more than others? Doesn't seeem to be anything to do with size of store and the brief is the same....all I can think is that they are ones they usually have more trouble getting done as the same thing seemed to happen with the frozen jobs last week.
  • Think you're right, and it's the ones they have trouble with. Last week they sent two shoppers to each remaining frozen store to ensure that they were done. It's probably more cost-effective just to hike the fee in the first place.

    Ta, just had a look now I'm on the PC. I never did any emails, so if someone's not got paid for one, I owe you a couple of drinks!

    The bank jobs on ESA seem to be the same - majority are paid at £X but a few are paid at an amount which is 25% less than £X. From the ones I've seen they seem to be in close proximity to the higher paid ones so not sure of the logic, unless they are expecting people to do the 2 together so feel they can justify a reduced fee for one?
