For some reason I thought it was an exclusive club that had different stores that paid more money.

Wouldn't that be nice - wishful thinking:rotfl:

Hi all guess what I am doing a GAP Pizza delivery. My hubbie is still laid up with his broken ribs and I am shattered working, seeing to him as he is immobile ( nothing new there then:rotfl:taking the dogs out so it suits me to have a pizza delivered as I cant be bothered cooking tonigh after working 9 hours today.

My problem is how do I locate the questionnaire for the results.

I am sure you are all waiting with baited breath to see how I get on.!!!

You find the questionnaire by clicking on webexpress and entering the assignment number;) I hope that we all get one of your hilarious tales out of it:D

And an FYI for all re: TNS; I've never once sent off a receipt to them, nor faxed/emailed one; they don't use them and I doubt they even keep them tbh.

I've never sent any receipts to TNS either. Since they've never once chased any and I've always been paid I think you're right that they don't use them.

I feel awful now - can someone comfort me???? I've just had a call from an MS company asking me to do a job in a town which is a good 45 mins drive from me. I have this town on my profile because I don't mind going there if I have more than one assignment to make it worthwhile. Last time I went to this town (admittedly it was a couple of months ago as good paying jobs don't come up that often) I had 3 jobs in one day and felt it was worth it.

The lady offered to virtually double the fee but I still didn't feel it was worth it. She said I should remove that postcode from my profile. As I said, now I feel awful. I still want the option of doing jobs in this town because IF I have other work there it would suit me. But I feel a bit like I was being told off, like I shouldn't have it on my profile if I'm not prepared to go there for one job. Am I being over-sensitive?

Don't feel bad about it. Unless they were prepared to pay you a mileage allowance and extra to cover your travelling time then they can't expect you to do it. I would just say that it is on my profile because sometimes I am there anyway for 'work' reasons.

Can someone set my mind to rest, or put me out of my misery at least

Yesterday I had to go to a store and purchase something, ask a question to prompt the staff to sell me something else, I wasnt allowed to lead the conversation. Unfortunately, the staff member didnt try to sell me what I was supposed to buy, so I paid for my initial purchase, and left, concerned that I have lost my money.

Am I right in assuming I will still get the first part of my reimbursement + my fee?

Yes, if you're not to lead the conversation and the staff member is meant to upsell you or whatever, then doesn't, then you should get paid.

This happened to me in one of the offies on RE - I was not a happy bunny as that was going to be some Christmas pressies!

And don't get me started on those stamp jobs...

it makes the questionaire a lot easier to fill in if the shop person doesn't sell you what they are supposed to!

T It's a shame the hotels have gone as they were good for stacking up loyalty points:beer:

The RE hotels have not gone. The client changed some details so jobs had to be pulled, then re advertised.

BTW
You cannot get hotel loyalty points either, they changed that a while back

Can anyone help me please, I have a restaurant job for RE tonight. My instructions did not advise me to pre-book, however when I go on the restaurants website they state they are fully booked for tonight. Should I go and hope they can fit me in? I have sent an email to my RE contact asking her advice, I don't want it to seem like I didn't bother to go and to loose points with them!
