took mine outside the whole department store, no need for cloak and dagger. they just want proof you were there i suppose not a pic of the outlet


Thats sounds better as i had emailed them to say it is going to look very dodgy me taking photos of the department, i'll see if i can get away with it, if not i can always do what you had done,

Thanks!!!

I usually just buy the 14 now, but loads of times I've bought more as we use a lot of stamps, and I've always been paid the £5.00 OK - I just make up the difference.
:beer:

Sorry, perhaps I didn't make myself clear - I'm sure you' re right and there is no problem with spending more than the allowance. Its just for some odd reason they appear to inssit on buying at least 14 stamps! I don't know why - they never used to stipulate this and I used to get a few £1 stamps especially near Christmas for parcels![/quote]

I agree, not sure why they changed it - I always used to buy either 10 x 50p ones or 5 x £1 ones, which it looks like you can't do any more. I guess you could always do 10 x 50p and 4 x 1p, tho! I use them for parcels / Ebay too.

Can anyone help me please?
I have a P.O. job to complete, it is a new one re. an application form for a driving licence being checked, however I cannot find any guidance on how to comlete the form. GB said they would sent me details in the post along with the form, I have received the form but no instructions. (the form must be incomplete so it is refused at the point of checking) Has anyone else done one of these jobs please? I have emailed GB but the job is Monday am!!

When I did this one, there was a link in the middle of the job notes, where you could click and see a completed form. Mind you, that wasn't right for mine as it supposedly wasn't a change of address and on the sample form, they'd ticked reason for applying - Change of address!!

hi, im on RE and only seem to get the pub jobs. Does anyone know why, Ive ticked that im interested in everything

thanks

Are you still on probation with them? I.e. not completed a job yet? I only got offered pub jobs until I'd passed my probation. So you may just have to do one, to get off your probation.

Can someone please explain to me why it is on the GAP Pizza dine in jobs you have to buy TWO refill drinks?

Has anyone ever been sacked for refusing to do a greasy burger for Gyp (phone call)?

They have phoned me four times in the last few days to do a burger job in Essex. I keep telling them that I am only in that location at specified times when I visit my parents but they don't seem to have the required number of brain cells to understand :mad: . I guess they haven't sacked me cos they keep ringing! I have refused jobs before because they can't offer me other jobs to do at the same time. Their jobs aren't worth doing unless they can be done alongside others! Don't panic, I am sure you will be fine

Its a bit annoying isn't it, I've never done one of these jobs as would want to go on my own but 2 drinks. Could always get one for that imaginary friend that never shows up:rolleyes: but seems pointless.

RE must having a super efficient day today, a report that I put in about two hours ago has been approved & moved into payments already :eek: . I'm not moaning, just shocked .

I have not done one of these but:

Is the idea that you go to the counter twice or that they expect that you would be with A N Other in the first place
