On the ABAI website does anyone know why one of the cafe jobs would have a failed criteria triangle next to my local one, the one further away is fine, so it must be the number of times you can shop it, I am assuming

Does anyone know why this would happen?

I've got the same, in my case I shopped that cafe at the begining of July.

The one in my city has the same thing. I shopped it about 3 months ago so can't shop it again yet. I didn't think you could normally see jobs that you can't accept on ABA, but you must be able to with the cafes.

Looks like some more hardware shops on ABA today but only 5 left now so won't post on alerts

How much under did that make you? I had one the other day when I was a penny under (my fault, doing a visit at the end of the day).

I was 40p under. I suppose it's quite a bit. Picked up two bars of choc that should have been more but it was a two for one offer. Wasn't paying attention at the till, too busy looking for pos material and trying to read the namebadge. Was only when I had put in my pin that i realised the total wasn't what I had been expecting.

Sloppy. My mistake but if they arent going to pay me because the report's invalid then they shouldnt be using the report.

Message for Miss Qwerty! I can now see the fast food place we were talking about the other day. It's not greyed out for me anymore.

I agree, if they're going to use the report then you should be paid for it- if they wanted to be really picky they could just give you the fuel money. I'm *hoping* they'll be sensible and allow mine at 1p under, fingers crossed.

I've been a few pence under before and it's been ok. Spoke to them on the phone and they said it was too far under. The guy i was speaking to wanted to give me the payment if i did an urgent job for them but his boss said no. I'm hoping it cost them more in the long run as I refused 3 phone calls from them over the weekend for urgent jobs. Wasn't in a helpful mood. Hope they paid somebody else loads to do them.

It's so silly, how can they justify that the amount makes any difference to the report? Would you get better service if it cost 40p more?

i must admit thats a good point. I would challange them to explain how 40p changes the report
