Try retaileyes.co.uk, you register and then check the site to see if jobs are available in your area HTH

I did this for a while with grassroots. It was a lot of work for not much money. Typically, the fee was about £15 for going to a scuzzy pub or a shop miles away, and completing quite an extensive questionnnaire. And the work was very irregular.

I registered with retail eyes, but not much work in my area and some is very limited. EG go to chemist and pic up prescription, so you had to have a prescription to collect.

You get £5 to £10 a visit and perhaps money back on a item you have to buy.

You have lots of things you have to check and remember but you have to remember it all not notes or writing while in the shop, pub or whatever.

You are unlikely to get more than 1 job a week unless you live in a huge city perhaps and register with other agencies too.

We mystery shop for our own landlords testing out their own products and services (via a mystery shopping company). We get "paid" in high street vouchers. V handy as we (DH and I) both do it so we get double!

I really enjoy ringing them up with "fake scenarios" and then scoring them! Have had so many issues with them over the years..

Not registered with a company. The HA employ the company in order to "mystery-shop test" themselves. Can't remember who it is off top of head; got same paperwork; will look it up.

i work for both grass roots and retail maxim. some weeks i can be really busy and then i can go months without having any jobs but when the work is there it is worth the money

so, i tried to join with retail maxim but i didnt like the fact that they asked for my sort code and account number?

hi i have a job today not much money but get free meal i guess the more little jobs you do well you can progress on to bigger better paid jobs. they all ask for bank details as this is how they pay you i suppose also it shows that you have a relativly good status.
