    OMG
    Looks like I have been sacked from burger jobs, I gave a bad report based on timings, I was waiting 5 minutes for breakfast:eek:, Got report queried, explined situation, Now I cannot see them anymore:mad:
    What a joke.........

    I refuse to do them purely because the client is so picky

    I keep getting phone calls from Gap, and I keep telling them, I dont want to do the burger jobs. Plus the fact the reimbersement amount is about 30-40p short of the true cost.

    Can anyone else not see the new wave of petrol visits on Abai? I was emailed yesterday afternoon, but even when I search the whole country nothing comes up.

    I've emailed to ask about, so will let you know if I get a reponse.

    Same here, I don't see any jobs on Abai. Would like to know what they say.

    Its only north england that was coming up for me yesterday - I didnt get an email from ABAi, but I presumed its because I'm down south :)

    Instead of looking for "Open" visits, click the "Booked" visits and search with a '*' and it will show you all the ones booked out yesterday, 5 pages worth :)

    What might be confusing is the email yesterday referred to a new chain of garages, rather than the one that's on Abai at the moment. Some of these garages are other brands, however they're all on the usual petrol chain's page on Abai. So you don't need to add another client. Hope that makes sense. If you do as someone suggested and search for booked visits for the whole country, you'll see some garages other than the usual one come up.
    Happy New Year :beer:

    I'm well confused now. I asked the other day about the Gap pizza reports having changed and now wanting 4 timing points instead of 2 (like the last few months). Someone suggested emailing Gap, so I did. Got a response, they have sent me a pdf file of the brief and the report and their email states 'there are now only two (2) timing points'... but when I read the info they have sent me it shows 4 timing points! Weird!

    Plus, this report seems to be more than double the length of the ones I've had the last few months. Thsi is definitely a backward step in my opinion.

    It's funny, nothing showed under available jobs or booked jobs yesterday, but now they're showing under booked today - 5 pages -all on the west of the country midlands up.

    Will let you know if I hear anything back from them tho. Perhaps it takes a while for them to show on the "booked" setting, so maybe that's why they didn't show yesterday. I guess as well, that they'll have tons more new customers now too, so jobs will go quicker than they used to with them.

    My petrol jobs don't say to send the receipt, I think it is only the refund ones at the catalogue shop that they seem to want.

    Yup, I noticed the different client names too.

    Checked out the brief on one of them, the petrol client are starting to do competitor visits again :)
    The results go to original client still though (I noticed 3 other petrol chains for visiting)
