What is going on with GfK? I haven't been able to access the site all day.

With the pizza chain, I was told by the MS company that they must deliver to me if my postcode is one of those listed on the assignment notes. Unfortunately, you can't see these notes until you get the job!

Anyhow, I selected my second nearest outlet and, sure enough, my postcode was on the assignment notes. Well, they argued and argued about why they couldn't come and why I should telephone the nearer branch instead. I made up a story about having had bad service from my local branch in the past and they just kept saying that they had no idea of how to get to my house (it's less than a quarter of a mile from them, if that). In the end, they very reluctantly delivered but said that it was a one-off.

This kind of means that I don't feel comfortable ordering from any of them except my very nearest one as I can't be doing with the arguing and potential tampering with my order.....

Has anyone else had experience of this?

Another question about the RE casino. I presume you don't need receipts for anything except the meal as you wouldn't get them for the drinks or the slot machines would you? Do you just get the full reimbursement regardless?

Yes indeed! Easy to get reciept with meal, then spend as much (or as little) as you like on the drinks/gambling etc.

Mind you, the drinks were quite expensive in the one we went to. (Especially as you had to order a spirit & mixer - yuk! made OH drink that one ).

I just kept jotting notes on my phone to make a record of names through the night, otherwise it was quite straightforward.

Have a great time.
