Never had an issue with doing this in the past, initially I found the staff would recommend the meal deal as I placed the order and they pointed out the benefit of the deal, and found that it made no sence and appeared odd to then not have a meal deal - only once had an issue where the ordering times were out as 3 courses were ordered (but you are allowed to take other people with you who are allowed to order items except for the forbidden items) - An email to GAP following this resolved the issue.

Thanks, I think I'll e-mail Gap and say that I hope it's ok to accept the meal deal if the MOS recommend it, since it would be odd to reject it. Let's see what they say.:cheesy:

I can see a supermarket visit on RE but when I try to accept it, it won't let me choose the date! It seems that now you need to choose a date in order to accept the job so I can't reserve it. The visit date is today but the calender indicates today is unavailable. :mad:
I have a visit to an electrical shop booked for Saturday but am tempted to release it since the new website appears to be full of bugs. I don't want to spend hours trying to fill in the questionnaire for a meager fee.

I think I remember on the old website I couldn't accept a job because it wouldn't let me chose today's date, although I might be thinking of something else! I have managed to enter a pub job with little trouble yesterday so, fingers crossed the data entry seems to be fixed (for me at least) so, do the leccy job (I have one on sat too) and let them know if you have any problems, I'd imagine they would be lenient on data entry deadlines given the problems.

p.s. I wish I could see supermarket jobs on RE!

Learnt this one as a student years ago! The main refectory had a salad bar, fill a bowl for 75p

Works with carrot and cucumber sticks as well.

After building, put a layer of sticky stuff like pot salad/pasta salad to glue it in place and stop little things like raisins falling through the cracks in the new wall.

Have to admit never doing it at ***** *** as there's only about 3 dishes in my local that look edible

bylromarha, thanks for your tip - brilliant! :cool: By the way, I think you need to edit your post and remove the client name.
The pasta salad I had at the pizza place was really lovely, I had to fight over it with my OH.:p The salad bar was really good, everything was fresh and yummy. I liked olive and feta salad too. Getting hungry just thinking about it! I think I got the timing just right - I got there at 5pm and the salad bar had just been filled.

Thank you, I'm relieved to hear that you could enter a job with little trouble. It's the first time RE showed the supermarket job for me, but I MSed the same store last month for Grassroots. Maybe the client goes for a different MS company every month? Not sure though, since I've been MSing for only just over a month now.

I'm ignoring RE until they get their problems sorted. At the moment it's saying there are 5 jobs available but it's only letting me see 3. Also added some cities to my areas and nothings changed. Cant believe theres nothing available in any of them.

Not that I can get anywhere anyway. Have more jobs scheduled than I've ever had but the roads are closed and buses are off.

after a conversation with RE, They are cv half staff due to the weather, they have rearranged their offices so phone extensions all new and the web glitches too! Go easy on them today.

Has anyone done the ESA supermarket yet? if so how did it go ? Looking at the questionnaire, it seems to be more involved than it originally let on, or is that just me?

How did you get through - it's got answer phone message when I ring? If you have a secret number could you PM me please?

I am also interested to hear how people have found these to do - I was supposed to be doing mine today but am snowed in
