Hello,

i have just visited a well known pub chain for sunday dinner for re. ordered a beef dinner and just realised notes said should order chicken first and other meat if that was not available. chicken was definately available as heard other people ordering it do you think they will notice?

Awww - shame you didnt come with me for my roast this evening - they actually didnt have chicken so had to have beef! lol
And yes - they will notice - you can be sure of that.
Incidentally, did u get your drinks included in with your meal?
I had to have either a pint for nothing as it came with the meal - or - a half and pay full price for it - crazy but true - so I worked on the teory that any normal customer would have gone for the pint - if they dont pay me thats the last jobbie I will do for them!.

Just popped on to say I'm not going to be around - I already do typing for a company in London which has really picked up now - so much so I'm unable to do the MS any more. I seem to be spending all my time either typing or charging around MSing and at the end of the day it's just not worth it.

It's been short but sweet - thanks for all your help you guys!

I'll really miss you Mum - keep in touch wont you - hope your job goes well.

I had an email from them saying 'With regards to the food purchase .... Because of this, you are now allowed to choose any meal of your choice from the menu.' So hopefully ok although the amendment to the notes didn't reflect this!

Yer i got the 'monster' drink inc with meal then bought coffee after meal. I did one before with pimms and couldn't have that with the meal so got a free coke and paid for the pimms then bought coffee after (even though I could have got coffee with meal for free). they reimbursed me for pimms, meal and coffee. :beer:

Hi Girls,
I did this job also today & got the 1/2 pint with the meal, she asked if I wanted a pint & I said I was following the WW & was only allowed 1/2 pint &I got it with the meal & bought my hot drink separately.

Is anyone else getting stalked by Gap??? I'm getting constant phone calls and if I answer and have the gaul to say I actually have a life and can't do the job the guy won't take no for an answer and I have to argue the point with him. It's driving me nuts!

I got that last night. They rang wanting me to do a buffet visit today or tomorrow lunchtime. I said I couldn't as I have to be home by 12pm today as I've got a courier collection booked, and I have an appointment tomorrow lunchtime. He seemed miffed that I wouldn't cancel either the courier or the appointment. Neither can be re-arranged though, and there is no incentive to do so for a job that pays no fee and usually goes over reimbursement level so it actually costs me to do it

Looks like the work overtime has dried up finally so back to some serious MSing
I started back with a nice bowling job that I picked up last minute and have a very local bank to do later in the week.
Have about eight pending on Bare -wish they'd clear those once the job is allocated.

DS just turned 18 so to boost his EMA I suggested he tries the are you 18 type MS'. I think TNS do them but who else -anyone got any experience of this ?

If they're for different shop types they will be paid in a different run. I find that I sometimes get paid for one shop earlier than an other even if I did it way before. I have done loads of Abai jobs and although payment is sometimes sporadic, it has never been missed.

They're both for the same shop so I'm hoping the postie turns up with another envelope today....

Chopsie&Chelvis

Please could someone PM me a list of the ABAi shops? I noticed an alert for gift type shops on the alert thread and was a bit confused?
Thanks in advance

skywalker83
