    I have just looked at my BURGER receipt for a drive thru I did tonight - haven't done one for a while but they begged me and
    .... on the top line of receipt is states

    1 Gap Buster

    then lists my meal items!!!

    Naturally they have spotted me and were extra quick and extra friendly but do I input the receipt and get fired or just cancel the job and sit it out for a while then can try again another time - useful from time to time for a lunch

    Help - anyone else had this?

    can you TAKE out the clients name!

    Not experienced this but I would put the results in and in the general comments at the end inform them as to what was put on your reciept. It's not your falult that they have this ridiculous system of us having to ask for receipts thus making it so easy for us to be identified. You may be barred from doing this particular outlet again though :cool:

    Yes, I know of husbands & wives who have both been signed up with Gap and they have both been sacked 'cos Gap thought they might be the same person! Do you have another bank account you can sign up with?

    And I have an iPhone which is brilliant for (a) Getting email alerts and (b) Checking sites during the day. Regulars on this thread will know how much I love my iPhone!!!! I've also got a Netbook which I take out with me if I'm out for the day and I find somewhere with free Wi-fi such as Pret a Manger, MacD's or Costa, then for the price of a coffee I can have a good old catch up!

    That sounds like a fab lifestyle! Don't remember if you are one of the people who do this full time but this mystery shopping business beats working in any of those places!

    I almost bought a blackberry a few weeks ago but the guy in the shop suggested I wait for the new iphone--lucky I wasn't mystery shopping at the time, I don't think he's supposed to be telling customers to hold off for a few weeks on their purchases!

    I honestly don't know which to get, blackberry appeals to me but I know iphone is more popular.

    I might re-try GAP with a different bank account. Will wait for a response to my email first. Everyone here seems to be moaning about them anway.

    What she said!

    It's up to you whether you want to cancel the assignment, contact gap and ask them, maybe reschedule and go back tomorrow? I know UKmonkey had a similar experience and he cancelled it. Someone else rescheduled and they failed miserably the second time as they weren't expecting it!

    oops very sorry - have done - I was so shocked at the Gap Buster bit on the top of the receipt so they have a button on the till that they can press if they think they have clocked you

    They had 2 receipts when I collected my food and asked me if I would like a receipt - when I stated yes please he looked at both and then selected one of them!!

    I have the new iPhone and I love it so very very much. I can't believe how quick it is. The 3G internet is as quick as using wifi.

    Stupid of them really since there were no cars up ahead, they were really fast and really friendly and could have received an excellent report!

    Still if it is so important to them to flag up MS'ers then they have missed out on a good report - will not bother to input it and not accept any for that outlet for at least 6 months. Then someone else will reshop it.

    I did a pizza job and asked for less cheese and it appeared on the receipt. wasnt sure if it was allowed but it didnt effect the price so i paint shopped the line out that said "less cheese" then scanned and sent it!!
