Am slightly confused now. Having signed up to Gap to ease myself into MSing, and thank you to everyone who answered my question re MSing with a baby. I've decided that unless I am sure that it would be ok, I will only do assignments at a time that there is someone else to have bubba for a short time while I pop into places - and eat lots of burgers by the looks of it! My next investigation will be into what the tax issue is for my situation as I'm surrently on Mat Leave, getting SMP. But I think I have 3 months from the first job to get registered with the lovely Tax Man according to the First Post.

What is confusing me however, is the Fast Food jobs that are coming up seem to have their timings wrong. For example there is one where the Time Frame is 1200-1400 but is meant to be a Breakfast evaluation. But the breakfast menu would not still be being served at that time

re signing in i sign in for my audit but they dont bother giving me a badge anymore! i do all mine overtly and sign in. when i take pics at my audit shop i am always approached and asked what i am doing. i sign in at my other crisp shop and it is a pain but as i do it early it still only takes 15 mins and i cam do it really quickly and obviously without worrying if i will get caught and i can ask staff to move out of way as well

has anyone had an invoice for the soft drink audits done in lasy few days of july?

Hmmmm, doesnt sound good does it?

The majority i have done in the last month have been really grubby.Floor,tables,windows and so on.Perhaps I have been unlucky?

Appologies for 2 posts in one go, but forgot to also ask, for a Drive Through job at a fast food place, is it still important to be alone??
Are they likely to know either way. I know someone mentioned before that they can review CCTV, but even then how would they know which customer I am?
Sorry if it's a silly question, am just still trying to get my head around it all, and would rather ask silly questions now than get caught out!

Only just starting my report for the 'super shop'.

I may be some time...

I think I need to move north. I was just looking for the pharmacy jobs from the alerts thread and found nothing, so out of interest I expanded the area, and there are loads of jobs around Carlisle and the NE

I do all of mine covertly apart from one, simply because it's more fun :rotfl: only been caught twice... One they were fine just flashed the ID badge, the other asked me to delete the photo's and frogmarched me out like a shoplifter!

Nope no invoice for the drinks audits either but did get invoices for the other work I'd done around the same time...

From the burger assignment notes...

"11. Please carry a back up timing device when completing your evaluation."

They get worse!! Grrrrr!

Also has anyone tried getting in touch with them lately? Response time is atrocious!
