    I think it is just one per shopper. I have tried to do the same, but it won't let me. *** Anyway, I tried doing a pub visit for TNS today, and the chimpin' server woman wouldn't serve me. She said I looked underaged and I had to show her proof. Not that I had any on me. I mean, I'm almost 25, how bloody rude! So embarrassing. Rant over. Thank you.

    I'm only 27, but I'd be quite chuffed if somebody asked me for mine!:p

    Why can I accept one sandwich shop on RE then when I try to get another, it says 'assignment unavailable'?

    I think (though somone correct me if I'm wrong) its because you can only accept one at a time and once you've submitted the report for the one you've accepted, you'll then be able to accept another one if there are any left.

    What is going on with these sandwich shops anyway? I've looked at a local one this morning whereby the report fee is 50p less than the last lot of sandwich shops yet the reimbursement for the food is a couple of quid more, yet when I read the instructions, the reimbursement for the food is less than the amount stated on the Assignment Details page (I hope everyone understands all that - it's difficult to explain when you can't quote actual figures ;)).

    So I would suggest everyone check to make sure what fee they will actually be getting - even though it could be that its just the one I've found that has conflicting information :confused:

    I'm not touching it with a barge pole if there's conflicting information. In fact I hadn't done any RE jobs for a while until did an electrical store earlier this week and it took me 90 minutes to fill out the report! Another reason to be reluctant to take on any of their jobs :cool:

    I accepted an RE sandwich shop near me only to find all the dates I cannot do - is there a way to see the dates before you accept because I can't see one.

    I've had to email now to have it taken off and can't accept any others (which I CAN do) while I am waiting. They'll probably all be gone by the time I can accept one?

    :(
