    I have a pub grub to do on Monday, and get £5 plus £15 reimbursed. I may have to go alone, :eek: so if my meal and drink comes in at less than £15, do i only get what I spend or the full £15? It is with RE. Thanks anyone.

    With RE you only get what you spend.

    So they say no receipt for the drink is needed, and one meal from the main menu. So how do they know how much the drink was, I take it they add what you say it was, to the receipt, Sorry to sound thick, but want to get it right. Also if you take someone with you and buy two meals that come to £15, they only give you half whats on the bill?

    If they don't want a receipt for the drinks, I'd assume they're trusting you to tell them how much the drink was.

    Regarding meals for one/two, it depends on what the notes say:
    If they say it's for two, they will refund you for meals for two (up to the £15 limit).
    If they say it's for one, they will only refund you for a meal for one (up to the £15 limit).

    IMO, if it doesn't say how many people it's for, you can probably assume you can take two.

    Oh btw, not sure if it's 100% clear from my post - the reimbursement limit will almost certainly include the drinks - i.e. if you spend £4 on drinks you only have £11 left for the meals.

    The e-mail makes as much sense as the heading. It claims only names and e-mail addresses were given, but having looked on the site it was also my postal address, my height, my age, hair colour etc etc etc...
    I deactivated my account, which to be honest isn't much loss to me as the jobs offered in my area by them have been rubbish recently.
    My height was 13 ft 7 inches on the new site...it would make it difficult to blend in to the crowd...;)

    i have a job for assosia this weekend (just been confirmed), anyone else doing anything or worked for them before as want to check it is an ok company?
    They most certainly are an ok company :) but as a word of warning, they absolutely do not allow being discussed on internet forums so I'm afraid this conversation will have to end here.

    Any problems, call them, as they have emergency cover at weekends, especially if there's an urgent project going on. :cool:

    You have set drinks to buy - they know how much these cost so can add the known cost of those to the cost of the meal - afaik all of these chain pubs use the same menu at the same prices.
