Just noticed the pizzas are walk in takeaway this time, so you can chose whichever store you want (or multiples if you're lovin the food!)

I've always paid by card at the burger place drive thru Angelfeather and never had a problem.

Is anyone here doing the 7 day project? If so, just wondered how long they took you today?

If you don't know what I am talking about please don't ask cos I can't say!:D

I think had the restaurant been in the centre of town, the staff would have been too busy serving to notice or care. This was a quieter one, so I think I stood out by asking for receipt. Plus the manager was behind the counter too so I think this is an influencing factor.

Yes mine was the city centre. I don't think they cared as much!

Regarding receipts, I would have assumed that most eating places got quite a few people wanting receipts so they could claim on their work expenses? It sounds like this is not the case, though!

Anyway, I have my first GAP drive-through assignment tomorrow and was intending to just pay by debit card as I normally would, but would it be better to pay with cash???

I always pay by card without fail. With my local drive through if you pay by card they automatically give you a VAT receipt and the card receipt. Just be on the ball and check if you get one or two receipts and if necessary ask specifically for a VAT receipt.

I think it's more obvious if you pay by cash and then ask for a receipt.

You don't get a floor show unless you are actually on assignment. They know when you're coming. I dont know how, but they must get a tip off. They also know what Mser will order. So unless you visit on the right day, the right timeframe, order the right meal, are on your own and ask for receipt, then there's unfortunately no floor show.

They don't know when you're going to be going (trust me!), but they do know the restrictions such as meal options, time frames, must be alone and get receipt. So if you fit into those categories then they may well assume you're the MSer. I believe there is a member on here who gets a floor show nearly every time he goes in, but has never done an assignment for some reason.

Is anyone else sitting patiently waiting for their local pizza? ive got all 3 towns surrounding the one where i live showing but still not mine! will have to get out soon as supposed to be doing a coffee visit!

It's probably already taken. My local one is never ever on! I think I have some very fast fingers in my area.

Hello...if anyone can still see all the pizza jobs on RE can you pm me if there is one showing for Crystal Palace? I signed up for the wrong one by mistake...don't want to release it in case I then end up with nothing, cos if I can't get my local I'll go and do this other one! But if my local is available I might ring RE to see if I can switch....
thanks!
