On a separate note, has anyone ever conducted a visit to an opticians? I just accepted a job with Amber Arch.

Yes i did a few, was quite laborious but as I worked in an Opticians years ago knew what to look for

I'm vegetarian, so on Gap am excluded from burger and sandwich shops, although interestingly they keep sending me chicken jobs that they need doing :rolleyes:.

I think although places do have veggy options, we're not really their target customers, so they aren't especially interested in our opinions. Which is fair enough I think, as both the chains from which I am barred are places that I avoid eating in, as I don't like their very limited veg options.

If you have other family members (adults obviously) who would like to shop these outlets, then maybe they should sign up too, then they could do these ones? I keep meaning to get my OH to sign up, then he could shop the sandwich shops, as he does eat meat.

Being veggy doesn't ban you from the pizza jobs, so keep checking for these ones, we've had lots of free pizzas over the last few months. By 2 year old son can even point out the pizza hut sign as 'pidda'!

my point is that it said i couldnt do pizza jobs or rolls jobs either and thats what i didnt understand as i obviously eat things they sell.

Angel13 - the veggie thing has been brought up before. It's not that the client wants to discriminate against veggies; they want to test a typical customer visit. If a typical visitor is most likely to buy a certain meal at the GAPburger place, then that's what they'll ask you to buy. RE have a similar rule with their sandwich shops - there is no vegitarian version of the thing they want you to buy but that's purely coincidental. If you choose to not eat meat, you eliminate yourself - is the harsh way of putting it!

It's like the women doing bookies jobs thing - RE want men only as men form the majority of their clientele - it would not be representative of a normal visitor if a woman did the visit - just how the cookie crumbles, no matter how much the likes of josie & Ellie don't like it (I think josie & Ellie anyway )

thanks a lot i just didnt understand why this meant i couldnt do roll or pizza work as they sell LOTS of things i can eat and i of course wouldnt take a job if it was something i couldnt actually do due to diet.

as for bookies god i am not going to be able to do them either then :eek: i thought id at least be able to go place some bets!! im not a gambler btw but ive got vast online booking experience for a relation where you do matched kinda gambling and an ex used to be a gambler so i know all about placing bets and bookies.

Any ideas on the dry cleaners visit on RE - it says see assignment notes for fee and reimbursement, and when you look at those, there's no mention of fees...

ive put my name down for one of the transatlantic flights but was hoping people in here could say how theyve got on if theyve done them in the past? its a bit daunting to think id be flying 24 hours alone to somewhere ive never been.

as for above the site says you can only cancel if its a family emergency.
