"Always do the bogs first" is ukmonkey's tip of the day.

For some reason, I assumed you had to go after eating your meal! Think I got muddled up with the other fast food place!

I did not ask for a receipt or anything, just what Gap wanted me to buy. I have to say I did not like it!

Totally off topic but can anyone tell me what "Podiatry" is, I have done two shops in the past week where the "shop to the right" has been one of these, I assume something do do with feet???

Correct. They deal with anything to do with feet basically! I've been to see one about problems I have with a flat foot of mine and have also been to see another one about an ingrowing toenail related to the knackered foot too! Nice :cool:

There have been times when gyp have had a moan at the shopper that they should go following the meal. Presumably to give the restaurant time to clean them after the receipt give away.

I did one in the wrong slot last week, got the floor show. Went back this week in the right slot, crap service, crap food and it was that dirty I felt sick. Result I'd say. Waiting for the queries to land in my inbox now lol.

Yeah, maybe!

Oh, it's gone now. How boring, they must have realised their mistake. I was quite looking forward to getting a carry out to eat at work!

Heh - it reappeared, still as a drive-through! So I've accepted it! Let's see what happens!

Okay... So one of the Gap burger jobs that's come up is my local high street one, and it's asking for a breakfast drive-thru. In a pedestrianised high street.

Hmm....

Yeah a drive thru has come up in one of my local ones, where the store is on the first floor of a shopping centre :T. Do you think i should hire a cherry picker and shout the order from that at the counter?? I am tempted to accept it and find out what they do.

Well, GAP actually suggested to my over the phone that I check the toilet BEFORE joining the queue.

They've told me to go after the meal before after a restaurant complained. Having said that they aren't known for their consistency!

I've been thinking this for a while but do the company who cannot be named have an 'A' list and a 'B' List?????

Got an email a while ago but all the 'good' stuff was already (think i got the left overs of what the others didn't want)

And then you lot go on about stuff when i haven't had an email at all.
