Does MF still shop the Euro supermarket? If not, who does?

As of last month they were shopping both of them.

Payments have been delayed 2 days due to a "technical" error not two weeks.

Bit more than 2 Day Graeme, But not two weeks,

In the latest email they have said they will try and resend the payments on Monday (16th) and it will take the normal 5 Days for them to hit bank accounts (So arriving about the 20th)

I can understand people being a bit twitchy if they have large sums outstanding...

Yup are quite right I misread the dates.

Oh aye, and it's the second time in a few months, MF are a huge company though. Did you get the impression that the OP had some proof reading questions to answer and didn't get the responses in on time to make a pay run, hardly MF's fault there.

Really - I did not know they did both of them. Only seen the German variety. I assume its the same PP fee for the second Euro supermarket?

Both are German aren't they? The other one had 2.5x the spend and a little more on the fee for a simple one query job, not bad if like me you were passing the door.

The more generously paid one used to be with RA which offered a fine spend allowance, no fee, but a very easy questionnaire which made it a good job.

Yup I remember them, more of an availability audit around Easter and Christmas. I used to do three that were quite close.

I've been banned from a bunch of fast food places. Looks like I'll be doing a lot fewer of those visits going forward.

I didn't even give a load of bad reports. Maybe I've just been doing them too often and they want a change?

Ah well

How did you get to know that? Did they tell you or did you just get rejected when you applied?

I think they're having a bit of a cull. There's less work to go round, the opportunity for premiums is going down and they want people who will play ball with that.

They told me. Though not why.

I did always wait for decent premiums but it wasn't like I haggled. They got into a habit of phoning me every month and offering me the same bunch of visits for the same money. I just kept saying "yes". Seems they they don't want it anymore.

I'm sure they can find someone else to do them all each month for less. I'm sure there was someone else before me

The money was quite nice and I quite liked the jobs. It's a shame but it won't break me.
