I can't understand people sying the minimum purchase was £6.99

I did 6 of the **** jobs and purchased the 7 day Piriteze Non Drowsy Tablets (£3.99 a pack) in each store.

They have all gone through the RE System OK

And as for exchange or refund, not possible I am afraid, **** have a no refund or exchange policy on any medicines.

I didn't say the minimum purchase was £6.99, what I was saying was, following MY scenario where I asked for non drowsy tablets, the cheapest out of the 3 recommended was £6.99, the store didn't actually have any of the Piriteze left, possibly they would have been suggested had they been there. It would have been a little obvious if after going through the process for me to choose something completely different.

Also, you need to edit your post as you have put the clients name in, making a direct reference to RE,

Royal Mail test posting - you get 18 first class stamps a month if accepted (LOL the pay is even worse than Gap!!)

I spoke to Anuj the other day who said it would be in either today or tomorrow. Blame the Bank holiday, it always plays havoc with pay timings.

I haven't checked mine yet as my bank appears to be offline :rolleyes:

When I did a pharmacy one last week I prompted the staff to suggest a cheaper option.
The brief does say "buy it up to a value of £X", so I presume that its OK to reject an initial suggestion.

I did email them to clarify this but they just sent a snotty email back quoting the job notes and saying 'please follow as per the job notes'.

I think it was the non-drowsy that I was recommended first, so I just said I wasn't fussed whether or not I had non-drowsy medicine.

I only had the one job, so was caught on the hop a bit, had I got others to do, I would have been wiser and not said anything about non drowsy and also would have mentioned cheaper products and asked how they worked and led the conversation myself instead the other way round , after m/sing for almost 12 years, I still get caught out at times.:o

Yeah I was annoyed about that pharmacy job - I did one myself too, and noted the refund is for £5, but you have to buy the recommended item. The pharmacy I shopped were pretty poor and as instructed, I bought the only recommended item (£6.99). Payment is £5. Presuming they only refund the £5, I lose nearly half of the payment, making that whole job worth £3. I'm cross they didn't make the reimbursement cover what many of us seem to have been recommended to buy.

Oh, and ditto the Sunday thing too - 1 did one fine on Sat, and then the 2 I had for Sunday - both closed.

This is a good one, I joined but got made redundant after two months as they said they had too many people in my area!

But, the free stamps made the sign up worth it .
