I just saw the client on another site, a very low paying site. Lets just say that for the low low low commission they are paying, it wasn't even worth watching the video and taking the test. The commission is so low you would be able to buy 2 candy bars with the commission if your grocery store has them on sale, if they are full price, forget it, you can only buy one.

On the subject of movie rentals, I have started getting my rentals from redbox, they are $1 plus tax per night, you can go online and see what location has the movie you want to see and reserve it with your credit card and pick it up by swiping your card. SOmetimes it takes a few minutes when you get behind someone who is browsing through all the movies in the box, but it is so inexpensive that it is worth the extra time.

Yes, it looks like Redbox and Netflix are going to be the survivors. There are still a few of the other stores here, but most have closed. I drove by one on Friday night and saw only the employee inside. Pretty grim future I think.

They just aren't competitively priced. I rented a videogame there a few months ago when they sent me a coupon in the mail and noticed with tax it was over $5 to rent a movie. You can put that $5 towards 5 redbox rentals or towards a netflix subscription and your money goes so much farther.

I saw them there too and was surprised with just low the fee was. I know this company's low fees have often been mentioned, but I was surprised to how LOW this one was.

What's odd though is that this company has had this client's test listed on their site since last year, but I guess is just actually getting the shops now.

Wow, 2 near me have been taken at the LOW LOW fee.

I'd rather go to Redbox and get a movie for $1.10 and not waste my gas, do a report and scan a receipt, etc etc.

Two in my area have been taken as well.

Hey this is our Forum to speak out about whats on our minds. There is no
one anybody has to suck up to here. If someone offends you stand up and
represent yourself. I dont care how long they've been around. Whats the
worst can happen? What they may not like you or say something and get
a couple of others to say something also? Get on with the bashing if
bashing is in order.

Huh??

Exactl...what are you talking about. Speak all you want, but I don't get it.

You make no sense at all.

???????????????

Then perhaps you should back up to page 1 and review your comments? What makes no sense is you have something to comment on, about everything I have addressed this day. What makes no sense is you cant keep up with what you commented on another previous page. I have no interest in partaking of this Metechee unconventional distraction further. I have the same rights to speak from my experience without agressive badgering. Is this not something you cant leave alone?dee shops Wrote:

You can attack me all you want. I have a thick skin and it won't bother me.

What is going on today.. did I miss something????

I don't know much more than you do. It seems there is a rogue poster.

Quick, duck and maybe you won't get hit.

Did someone forget to take their meds today? Some of these comments are beyond strange...

I've not been here in a while, but I'm a fan of TS. It took me a while to figure out which client you were talking about, but of course I eventually got it.

This has nothing to do with MSing...well...maybe it's a stretch given that I was on a shop when I found this deal...but if you buy 4 2 liters of pepsi at a major grocery chain for $1.25, you get 2 free. So 6 for $5 PLUS 2 FREE redbox codes. So, for my money I pay $5, get 6 2 liters and 2 Free Redbox movies.

I didn't realize that TS had 'lost' the client, as there was only 1 that showed up about 45 miles from me. But, I have seen that they've moved to a very low paying MSC. I'll pass on that one unless the fee goes way up.

I saw that too. I don't usually drink pop, but that is a good deal.

What's weird though is that only some of them in my area went there. There is one in my little town that was always shopped by TS. They are no longer shopped or if they are, I don't know who is shopping them now.

There is also one in the next largest city by me. They were never shopped by TS, but now they are showing up on CoRI. So I don't know if maybe another MSP handled them in the past and when TS lost the one in my area, the other MSP also lost them and they went to CoRI.

It is odd though that TS lost them in the same month that they showed up on CoRI, but the ones on CoRI in my area were never with TS.

If it's the client I am thinking of, I recently saw jobs starting in July with CRI. I used to do them all the time for Trendsource, but I bet it was at least 2-3 yrs. ago.
