    Haha That's a kinda self defeating - censoring S!!!!horpe has only made me think twice about an otherwise innocent sounding Northern town:rotfl:

    Did you give a bad report? In my experience they only question something when they are trying to wriggle out of a bad report. If the restaurant claim you weren't alone, then the report will be null and void and they don't get their knuckles rapped.

    This is what REALLY annoys me about Gypburgers. Why should the visit be done alone? The vast majority of people who go there go with friends and family - and CHILDREN!! It's just them being too tight-arsed to pay for more than one meal!!

    Rant over!

    It was a drive through and the only thing that was negative was the waiting time, which I said was justified as there were 4 cars in the queue ahead.

    I don't mind being asked for more info on a really bad report, but it wasn't THAT bad! Like you say, that are just trying to wriggle out of it. I'd like to see them get a right kick up the !!!! for lying but we all know that won't happen.

    Have Gyp queried your description and car details from the premises concerned..? as it is all on CCTV surely it could easily be rectified? Maybe easily is not the correct word... I did one with longer than average wait times same reason as yours, didn't get accused of anything but have noticed that it won't let me pick up another at that site....

    Yeh they've got the right car etc, and they probably do have CCTV that will show that I waited x minutes and was alone, but they're just trying to get my report discredited so they don't look bad.

    Please don't laugh but I need to contact Gap :eek:. I changed bank details & input incorrect details (A&L info on debit card is not the correct account number :o). A payment of £55 has gone AWOL. Have sent them 2 messages but have not received a reply. Is there an email address anyone tried before?

    If I don't get any joy I will phone them - would take a long time to earn the £55 they owe me so if they sack me so be it!
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Someone did post an email address for the payments section sometime between the 22nd-28th January - haven't got time to look for it just now

    Anyone else doing the photoshop for ESA? Just had a 2nd job, that I didnt apply for, for the same place put into my inbox. Different scenario from the first. Not got time to phone them just now, anybody else know whats happening with these jobs?
  • Actually went into a Maccy D's for breakfast, not on a mystery shop, today but still asked for a receipt and it was hilarious. Mopping an already spotless floor, opening doors for people etc etc. Bet they thought they would have got 100% (which they may have done had I actually been doing a shop!).
    It's too much fun to wind them up and it doesn't half make a difference to the speed in which you're served !!
