I think Gap is being awkward to me on purpose.

Just did my sandwich shop lunch assignment and went to Express it and it's telling me my shop time-in is invalid.

I visited within the assignment guidelines and am entering it in 24 hour clock.... I don't understand why it's not accepting it?!

Anyone come across this before?

Did you definitely do the right times? Some of the jobs are sneaky, and say " <1130 - >1430" - this actually means BEFORE 1130 or AFTER 1430, check you haven't made this mistake...

Did you manage to get one

Yes:D I thought it was strange that they were hanging around long enough for me to try the questions loads of times.

You have to say yes to the soft drink question even though the briefing notes don't mention one I only found out through trial and error.

That was a bit unfair ,I really fancied a night out to,Im still kicking myself:mad:

Hi All

Just a quicky - is there a limit to the number of pages you can claim as expenses? I normally print out the brief and a copy of the questionnaire 10-20 pages which I think is ok? However recently joined GapBusters and have had to print off all the manuals can I claim for these as well?

Clmac - TNS took nearly two weeks to come back and accept but has been worth it

Its toooo hooooot!

Do you really need to use all that paper and print all that out? I would think at least the manuals could be viewed on the computer should you ever need to, and that would save some cost and be a bit greener!

It's a pub but it has a LS postcode so it's not Kent.

Hi hope someone can help me out! I've just finished my first mystery shop (yay!) a burger job for Gap. Just filling out the evaluation now, and it's asking me for ORD# and KS#. Receipt has a #DT order number and a #POS/EJ order number, can someone tell me which is which please?! Thanks in advance!

KS# is the #POS/RJ number, so the order number has to be the other one.

Omigod you have got to be kidding me! I was running late, so I really had to rush and I got to the place at 14:23 and left at 14:29 (there was no time limit) and then it turns out I had to do it after 14:30 - I am sooooo pi***d off!!!!! That of course means I'm not going to get paid for it now doesn't it! That is so unbelieveably sneaky, I'm fuming at myself and the company. :mad:

If you google the postcode and the name of the pub it is definitely Leeds Yorkshire.

No idea where the Kent bit of the address came from. Typical RE logic I suppose:rolleyes:
