Try some postcodes or areas near you, you might get lucky.

I never get any problems asking for a receipt in burger or chicken places. I always say I'm working and can claim it back and I have seen other people asking for the same. If there is no smile I still don't get one so try not to be 'obvious' and then you won't have any problem.

Oh thank god for that! They must be happy with me just doing them all for them! Ha Ha. No, really, actually I have loads of jobs on the GfK page that just don't get snapped up and they end up extending the deadlines on them. I can't do them because there is usually a limit to the amount of jobs you can do if they're all the same i.e. visiting financial institutions. I think they need more shoppers in my area.

I did a burger job yesterday and realised it should be a drive thru only after I finished my meal inside the restaurant so I released the job when I got home. Just have a call from Gap asking me to help with 2 burger jobs including this one and they give me 2 betting jobs for August and 1 small supermarket for Sep so I'm well happy now.:j

I just got the craziest query email from GAP!

Among the questions were:

Q. Were you offered any sauces/dips with your Nuggets? Please elaborate?
Q. Did you ask for any sauces/dips? Please elaborate?
Q. After assembling the food did the crewmember advise you that all sauces are available and direct you to the condiment bar? Please elaborate

Then I got another email saying:

Sorry as I forgot to add can you also confirm the below

Q. Were sauces/dips available within the store? If so, what and where? Please elaborate?

Q. Did you get any sauces/dip? Please elaborate?

What is their obsession with dips and sauces?!

They also asked me "Exactly (verbatim) how were you greeted by the order taker?"

Well as the questionnaire only asks whether you received a polite and friendly greeting, not exactly what they said, I didn't write down what they said word for word ... so what can I do? I remember roughly what the order taker said, but thats not good enough for them.
