So are you saying that the spend on the meal is not covered by the expenses?
(unless you find vouchers...)

There's no mileage, fee or parking.
It's FFF and (obviously) there's a report to write up.
No regular jobs due to "saturation"

Doesn't sound too great to me TBHO

Each to his\her own

The meal can be covered with the spend but if I use a voucher I can have wine as well . I was just pointing out that vouchers can be used, which maximises the meal and that you are a normal diner and not bound by daft constraints. They are FFF but it not a bun fight like it is with some I could mention. I have never lost out on a job. True, there is no fee or mileage but I look on it as a very pleasant free meal out and the reports are not horrendous either. I get both restaurants that are in my area every other month i.e. one Jan the other Feb etc, so I am quite happy with that.

Eh....done 8 eggys today and a bank. I'm flipping pooped. Trying to write up the reports now and there is no option in describing staff members for red hair, and when I try to select other and write 'red' into the box the computer says NO. Half the people I've encountered today have had bloody red hair. gah. Why do the surveys always have to be so screwy? Two more eggs tomorrow, hopefully nobody with red hair working......or green....or pink

4 egg jobs for me today, and 5 XXX jobs (some of you will probably know what I'm talking about here!).

I now have 24 eggs and 30 packets of XXX. My kitchen looks very odd just now, like I have some kind of food fetish!

I have been paid for the first time today, but I am surprised as I got a note in an envelope through the post. Is this normal practice? I have previously given my bank details to the company involved, so I am confused.

There is one company beginning with A that pays cash, but you should remove the amount from your post...!!!

In fact if you read the first page of the threads you would have been able to answer your own question..!!!

Did anyone actually manage to find the rolls mentioned in the eggs stock check? All the stores I visited I had to put this as NA. Had a similar problem with the cough sweets last time.

Have just noted a nice frittata recipe in my magazine. Will need to pick up some veg on the next couple of shops to pad it out.

I had 4 phone calls from GFK this evening. Not amused by the 4th one, they seem to be madly checking that the jobs for tomorrow are actually going to get done. Having a family crisis at the time so it wasn't what I needed.

Out of the 4 that I did today, I couldn't see the rolls either. They seemed to have a lot of rolls from local bakers/suppliers, I figured that was maybe why?
