Hi
Can anyone help?
I am new to MS. I have my first GAP pizza delivery job on Wednesday.
I am not sure what pizza base I am allowed to order, can I choose what I like?
I understand that I am not allowed to take up any special offer offered on the phone, is that right?
I have read here before about no pineapple, so I'll be careful on that.
I do not want to make a mistake and not being paid afterwards.
Cheers!

Good luck, it will say clearly in your assignment notes what to order and what not to have .

Has anyone done a FastPizza job for TNS, used a voucher and still got paid? If you got paid did you get paid only what it cost you or did you get the full amount back?

I think it now states not to pay with vouchers, apparently it never used to say this so I am not risking it and I have never managed to get one before now!

Yes leia, it does say that now in the brief (well mine did anyway). I have never been lucky enough to have a voucher before so can't comment on the payment issue, sorry.

Thanks.
I was confused by the assignment notes as it did say 'Pan'; but in bracket there it must be from its newbie 'Q' restaurant menu. As we do not have that 'Q' restaurant in our town, so I thought that it would not apply. I think I understand better now.

My assignment notes specifically said not to use a voucher, so I didn't.
If only the report would let me get past the second question I'd be fine...

Thanks to everyone for the good wishes, I don't think I did too badly considering I couldn't remember any of the cases (I had over 250 to remember). Did an essay about manslaughter, an essay about rape and a problem question about people being accessories to murder. Nice business it is, criminal law.

Oh you should have said, I could have given you some case history from my own rap sheet :rotfl::A:rotfl:

Has anyone heard of Shabby Chic Cafe? I've received an email from them with a user name that I don't recognise and an ID number, asking me to activate my account. It came from debbie @ aeroprinting. co . uk (I've put the spaces in so it isn't a live link cos I have a nasty feeling it's dodgy).

The reason I'm asking on here is that this email has come through on my main email account, which is the one I use for registering with the MS companies, and I guess there is just an outside chance that it's somehow connected to MSing???

Given that I don't recognise the user name, I'm 99% convinced this is some sort of spam but just wanted to check. I'm too scared to click on the link to activate the account - I don't know for sure, but I think I read that you can do some damage/run risks by just clicking a link even if you don't enter any details. Does anyone have any idea about this please?

I always go by the rule of if I don't know them, or have the faintest suspicion that it is spam, then I delete it.
Have you googled aeroprinting? If you can't find anything, then delete and ignore the email. It's better to be safe than sorry!
