Does anybody know if I can purchase extra items beyond those specified in the job brief when doing pizza chain delivery jobs for GAP?

For these jobs you must only order what is specified otherwise they will not pay, you could always do separate receipts and wear your MS badge

My RE is showing 2 train stations and TNS for the first time ever for me has had 0 jobs for 3 days!!!

I have just accepted my first job with RE, one of the nightclub ones. I have a question about the reimbursement.... The notes say that I need to upload a receipt for either the entry fee, the drinks or the cloakroom. If I only pay by card for one of these.. for example the entry fee, and only get a receipt for this... can I still claim back my costs for drinks and the cloakroom or do I need to obtain seperate receipts for these to be able to claim my money back?

I win, mine is only showing 1

Just back from what was meant to be a free meal for me and oh at a pub MS for MCE but the pub didn't serve food as the assignment stated, so ended up goin gout for a meal elsewhere and spending £25, oh well no such thing as a free dinner obviously.

I've still got the same old 5 pub jobs that nobody ever takes. Got my phone assignment with TNS tomorrow - the one with the envelope!!! Anyone do one today or got one on for this week?

Wow where are all the assignments on RE. Ny page is only displaying poss 30 jobs !!

Mine usually has much less than that, and my defined areas are 50 miles around Birmingham, London, Milton Keynes, Brighton and Bristol!

Just wondering - I did an assignment for the sandwich shop on RE today, and I never know exactly what to put for the question about women in the write up. I don't get this question, it seems to me to be downright silly and bordering on sexist. What do other MSE MSers put for this one?

Apologies if this has been asked before, I've had a quick look but not come across anything. Has anyone ever been checked up on on CCTV?
I've noticed quite a few jobs say that your timings can be checked using CCTV, so just curious!

Same for me with RE ellie. Think I will have to move, not many good jobs here at the mo, that's for sure. Just picked up a phone job for OC but rubbish fee.

Let us know how you get on with the phone assignment tomorrow ellie. Mine aren't until Tue & Wed next week - have fun lol. I have got a MS and audit on Wed. First audit I've done, it looks just like a MS but I can take the paperwork. Mind you, I'll probably have forgotten the MS answers by the time I have done the audit .

Hi I did one of these last month,first job for RE too.I couldn't get a receipt for anything as they didn't take cards in the club I visited.They reimbursed me the whole amount no problems.I would try paying with card on the door first and then at the bar but you only need one,but don't worry if they don't take them just e-mail them and explain.
Make sure you get up early the next day to get your report done in time for the bonus fiver cause it took me over two hours it was a nightmare!

Great! Thanks for the advice... was a bit worried there!
