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

I thought it meant that you have to have your glass refilled. I.e. that you have to drink more than one glass, so you can see if the server asks you if you would like a refill.

I've done a couple of these on my own and only ordered one drink, getting a refill when the glass was empty.

Thanks Ilona - It all clear now.
Lost weekender - saw your alerts post, what are those jobs ? Really need to make an effort and join Tns - is the application difficult ?

That's what I assumed it meant as well. As usual with their instructions they're not clear:rolleyes:

Has anyone had a definitive answer on the chicken ones where it says drink requirement post mix orange or water? I find it very confusing for the bucket ones because one option includes a drink and one doesn't and it specifically states don't buy anything else. I've bought the bargain bucket before with no drink and been paid for it

I haven't done a chicken bucket job since December, but I was upsold to a bottle of coke & accepted it without thinking. They accepted it without querying it & paid ok - they are a law unto themselves I think

I have just read the notes for my chicken job this week & I read it that you can have any post mix drink but if you have a bottled drink it needs to be orange or water. I think they have just written it in a strange way. I may well be wrong though!! If I haven't heard from them I'll go for a bottle of water & hope for the best. At least I have the brief as evidence.

The one I did last night has been appoved and moved to payment pending so some of the proof readers just must be more on the ball than others, bit like real life really........

It varies a lot with RE, it seems to depend on the client the job is for - high street pub chain jobs often go through within a day, but I have known railway station jobs take up to 3 weeks.

The Pizza dine in jobs are for 2 or more people thats why you get the reimbursement of what you get 2 buffet and 2 refills.

It's not necessarily RE themselves, they outsource the proof reading to at-home workers apparantly. Now, THAT'S a job I'd like, LOL!!!

ISC (I think?) sent an email a while back looking for proof readers - but the pay was appalling!!! :eek:
