Ditto regarding Gap being slow to reply. I asked a couple of questions about Pizza dine-in visit and got a reply after 3-4 days. A member here had given me some advice by then.

While talking about Pizza, can anybody tell me if it's ok to get a meal deal (such as a medium pizza + 2 side dishes, which generally works out cheaper than a medium pizza + 1 side dish)? That was one of my questions I asked Gap and they said no, that will make my visit void. The kind person here recommended the meal deal to me but I ended up ordering a desert for that visit so never managed to find out. I have a feeling that it's ok, because I seem to remember some other people here mentioned the deal in old threads. I ended up paying 5 quid on top of the reimbursement limit last time (and the pizza was cold):mad: so want to keep the cost to a minimum this time.

There are loads of Abai jobs in my area but I can't take them as I can only do them at weekends. Bet there are none left by Thursday.

I think some folks might take them and then rearrange, but I don't know how easy that is to do with Abai compared to Gyp for example.

I emailed them before xmas re the cat jobs. What they told me to do was book the job then email them to schedule a suitable time. If it was within the timescale allowed they would set the date to do the job - if not they would release it from you.

I applied for 4 ESA supermarket jobs, 1 I cancelled as the deteriorated, 1 they have removed, but 2 are STILL pending.

I'll try that with ABAi, I do so little for them it won't matter if they don't like it!

That's weird, I got a mail from them a few hours ago saying they've now allocated all the jobs out. Guess someone there's in for a late night.

They definitely don`t let you order meal deals. Best to order off the brief so that you don`t lose out. I usually order a starter to share, a med pizza and one salad bowl which I pile as high as possible and share that with who ever I am with.

Just been checking. Still about 350 to be allocated.

Saw my furthest away ESA-shop town on the local telly. Doesn't look good. This is the longest spell I can remember for it snowing every day. And 'highs' of minus 2 dont help either. Now where did I put my huskies...?

Hi,

Sorry been a bit AWOL on here and lo and behold I log in for the first time in a couple of months and get a mention!

No, didn't nab any Teesside ones as I'm only up there for Boro games, so can't do any til Sat. Doing a supermarket right next to the ground for those who know it with Grassroots anyway, so might be pushed for time.

Hi guys, I'm new to this and there is sooo much to read that I haven't quite had the chance, but to cut a long story short I clicked on a link from the Guardian website and landed on the website for 'UK Mystery Shopper Jobs'. I was wondering if anyone had heard of them, or had any experience with them?

Thanks for the help!
