    he means so near so far i think

    If the OP does mean that chain / franchise, then GB have 2 jobs listed for this company at the moment, but I never see many and I think TBW is right, they are keeping these jobs back as bribes to get people to do the yucky burger ones.

    the burger ones are ridiculous , can't even have a baby in a car seat if you go through the drive thru! they keep ringing me and asking me to do them , I say to them where do you want me to put my daughter , leave her on the car park whilst i drive through?! No wonder they are always on there in abundance!

    Still can't work out "so near so far"????? I am blonde and pregnant so my brain power is not running at full capacity , more clues please???

    AAhhhh , the pennies dropped! lol! , i don't tend to get a lot of those anyway but i am out in the sticks a bit so they're aren't many round me. I usually get one every couple of months. Shame as they're very handy!

    I am right ! I had it from the Aussie horses mouth - they phoned me about something else and I asked them about these jobs. They told me they had to keep them as incentives.

    If they actually paid a reasonable reimbursement (ie enough to cover the amount you are required to spend ;)) they wouldn't need bloomin' incentives!!!

    They tried this with me once - wanted me to do a chicken job and offered petrol as an incentive OR a slight increase in fee. I came off the phone thinking I had got both but in fact I only got the slight fee increase - and it STILL didn't quite cover the amount I was required to spend :mad:
