Applied for 3 jobs mid June and they are still pending!!!

I just dont get it Holly, I've had one pending for a couple of weeks now and the date has passed, I'd have thought that they couldn't afford to keep them pending for so long
- but ours is not to wonder why eh!

I got an email from them asking me to do a job tomorrow. Problem is its the same place I went today :rotfl:Not sure I can do that without looking really suspicious :rolleyes:

Roxy, a couple of weeks ago, I had 2 jobs in the same food court. When I went to the second one, it was the same woman who served me at the other outlet! She was covering someone's break, I bet she thought it was really greedy

Ha! I love it when things like this happen - they don't know whether to call you a fatty or put on the shiney name badge. It works especially well if you then follow them to another outlet and order from them again

Becles, thanks! I'm not registered with Storecheckers - never heard of them. I'm a bit wary of giving my details to just anyone so I only registered with the companies listed in the opening post of this thread. Would you recommend Storecheckers, then?

Does anyone know any other companies who need people in the north east please?

I've been doing jobs for Bare quite happily, but today all the phone ones I go for say I'm not qualified as I am not a native English speaker. News to me!
How do I get this qualification? I can't see anywhere on the site - it isn't in my shopper testing centre.

Roxy I would just brazen it out. After all as a genuine shopper sometimes I have shopped in the same shop twice because I forgot something. Just try and get a different assistant.

Thanks Hollypear I'd happily brazen it out in a shop but this was a financial shop and I spent an hour in there yesterday.......and it is tiny in there with only a few staff LOL. I didn't say no to Bare, just said as I'd done my assignment already in there that day I presumed I wouldn't be able to do another the next day!

For the fee, I would definitely have done it

Love your story bobthego, it did make me laugh

I have a question about TNS and wonder if anyone can help? I already do online surveys for them and earn Nectar points as a reward. I'm a bit worried about signing up with them for Mystery Shopping because I have this nagging feeling that when they ask (at the start of these online surveys) if you are employed in insurance, marketing etc etc etc, I have a feeling one of the jobs might be Mystery Shopper. Which would then exclude me from taking the survey, I think. Does anyone know?

I can't seem to find Shopchecker. Is it Shopncheck.com?

I have been a mystery shopper for RE since March. Until recently I have accepted mainly eating out jobs to do alongside my full time job. Unfortunately I have recently been made redundant, I have just started doing retail audits for RE and absolutely love it! Can anybody suggest who are the best other companies to sign up for, as RE currently only give me enough Audit work for 3 days a month. I have stumbled accross Retail Active on the web, but can't find any mention of them on here, anybody help?????
