Help please, urgently.

Just gone through the pizza job again and it says 2 refill drinks. I'm going on my own - does this mean I have to order two drinks please? DO NOT want to risk not getting paid.

Help much appreciated.

Best regards

There's been some discussion about this previously on the board. The general conclusion seemed to be that it was OK to go on your own and order one drink. The notes could mean that you need to drink up and get a refill, giving the server a chance to offer you a top up. But I think other posters have been paid successfully when ordering 1 drink, and getting a free top up.

I always go with my OH, so we use both drinks, so can't give a conclusive answer personally.

Just wondered, did everyone just get a e-mail from Gap re burger jobs ot just me?

Hoping it doesn't mean I've messed up a job.

No I got one too and I haven't done a greasy burger job for ages!

Just to add I have had one drink (on my own), finished it then had a refill and have been paid.

I have also had the burger email.....fascinating read.

Now I feel left out, I've NOT had the burger email. :rolleyes:

I have had a good morning in looking for jobs though, Bare rang me about a phone shop, and then gave me 3 more, which is great as they are near another job that I am doing on Monday morning.

The Bare lady (not literally obviously :rotfl: ) told me that the VW jobs should be allocated this afternoon, fingers crossed for those.

And also managed to grab a bank assignment on GR, not seen a job on there for ages, so all in all a good morning's haul. Now will have to sort out all the notes and plan a route.

I thought it was just me who hadn't received it...

How do you know what the Bare lady was wearing (if anything...)?

Have you noticed forum will be closed Fri 10pm til Sun for a major upgrade?

I wonder if someone can help?

I have a recorded call to make for CR. Its my first recorded call and my first assignment with CR.

I have got through on the supposed toll free number - which is not toll free outside the States but it will not accept my shop no. or my ID no. and I get cut off.

The brief states that I may need to record a maximum of 3 calls to the Nursing Home.

I'm thinking if the duration of the call is an international call and I do need to make it 3 times this could out weigh the assignment fee

Of course that's supposing I can initially get through !

Does anyone have any experience of this ??? Help its all going wrong

TIA

I'm confused now . In the pre-questions there was one regarding placing a bet (even though I couldn't see it in the brief, the only way i could answer it was to say 'yes'). I've read my brief and the questionnaire and can see no mention of having to place a bet.

Just seen UKmonkeys post regarding Casino visits and bookies.

Am I missing something? Just starting to get a bit jittery about my visit incase I mess up (and of course MSE being down over the weekend, so can't check anything out with you great people)

Thanks

I've got my busiest day to date tomorrow:

Holiday shop
Discount store
2 phone shops
animal shop
restaurant

I did have a burger job in between the discount store and phone shops, but it'd mean going waaaay out of the way of the towns which I'll be travelling from/to so I've cancelled it.

I had this strange pre-question for my casino visit too. It also had a betting type questionnaire attached initially, but they have changed it now to a proper casino one. I think when they put the jobs on, they had attached details for a bookie visit, but they subsequently realised. I had an email confirming that the questionnaire had been changed.
