Ok Ok its a fair cop,i admit it,Nah just curious really to see where people or from or nosey depending on your way of thinking...surely you guys have nothing to hide.

Yes I think some of us do. Continuous slagging off about certain companies. If they knew who was doing it I think there would be a black mark against their names on the books. I like to keep myself Anon. Hence the name.

No, it should be done on Saturday in the daylight and submitted by 3PM.

I just hope that there will be so many people around that nobody cares if I am taking pictures of the windows of the shop.

Done a few of these. Now that the Mornings are brighter I have been getting there before they open. No one in the way and take your time to get good shots. Otherwise expect to get challenged. I got away with "doing a project for my Travel and Tourism course"

A Brilliant Idea about doing it before the shop opens! Thank you, Tudor, for putting my mind at peace.

Hello everyone, and thanks TG for the new thread..

Harping back to a previous query I had... Pizza with Gyp is giving me gyp now..

Its a buffet and the brief says 1 buffet at £* + 1 or 2 drinks.. Up to 4 can be with you. So I ask do I have to eat alone or can I take my child who I would order and pay for? My child can obviously not order and pay seperately so I would have to cancel, if this is the case.

They reply you can eat alone or with upto 4 persons..

After a quick chat on here I go back to them and say is it okay to order 1 adult and 1 child buffet and they say yes as long as you order seperately....!

Not being funny but how odd would that look... she's only 11...!! So I don't think I'll rush to pick up another buffet, best I stick to the dine in/delivery versions.. So I'll be releasing this on the basis that I would stick out like a MS'er asking for a receipt in the burger place...!

Now a question for the egg experts.. I have 'Hurrah..' been allocated an eggy job, my first with this company.. Have looked at the worksheet.. where do you find the actually details of the job??? on the questionnaire it refers to 'was product 1 available, was product 2 available'.. etc.. where do I find what I've got to look for.. I'm sure I'm just being especially thick, I think Gyp have drained my brain power....

Thanks for listening...

Hi, I have been allocated 2 mystery shops by Gap Buster, the fee is £6 does anyone know if you also get reimbursed travel costs or will it just be the fee?
Thanks:)

Lose the fee from your post please!

Gap will pay you what they say they will pay you. If it doesn't say that they will reimburse travel costs then they won't reimburse travel costs. MS companies are all pretty uniform in telling you up front what you will get (and if it doesn't say you'll receive travel reimbursement, for example, it's fair to assume you won't).

As far as I'm aware no travel costs are reimbursed. Just the fee and the reimbursement for purchase.

I must learn to type quicker...!!!
