They wanted me to do an urgent coffee shop the other day. 25 mile round trip out of my way, coffee shops have no fee. It was sunny that day so I didn't mind a day out at the seaside, I offered to do it for 40p a mile (Still no fee, so just an extra tenner for them) and THAT was declined. Personally I think that's pretty flippin generous of me!

The good old days. I can still remember when they used to do the evening drinks in weirdish areas, and when no one wanted to do them, they offered travel fees and overnight B+B. Sigh. Wish I had taken up those offers.

As I keep telling the allocators who ring me: "some of us don't just do this for fun or as a hobby, we do it for a living." We need to be treated with consideration and respect. If we are expected to work outside "office hours," then , surely, our points of contact should be operational at these times. But (I am a realist), they all go home at 17.00 and many of us leave home before they start answering calls in the morning. I just love the "out of office" replies to emails: my head tells me "bottom of the pile," and "that shopper will sort it out for themself."

I'm sure this has probably been asked before, but I've done a quick search and can't find what I'm looking for.
I'm doing a Gap phone store tomorrow, and the paperwork is asking me to fill in the pre experience section as soon as I have the paperwork, BEFORE the visit.
How do I do this?? If I go the Web Express part where you would complete the questionnaire then it's asking for the date and time that the shop was completed.

Have an RE job and a Gap job tomorrow, so there's just no hope really is there! Probably the 2 silliest companies.

It's not to FILL IT IN on the reporting sytem before you visit; they just want to know WHAT YOU THOUGHT before your visit. So, everything gets entered on the reporting system AFTER your visit!

Look at the coming events at the cinema and see if anything looks familiar
