Really, who the flip flop was it. I remember somebody saying they buy 'extra' take home products and they kept use posted as to if they got paid the full reinbursment as simply going to have the coffe and cake wasn't really good enough.

ummmm, i will look

Ok, i looked, my apologies TractorGirl, you bought an almond crossoint as an extra. I'm sure i remember somebody saying that they buy a bag of coffee beans. I'm not bright enough to think of that on my own lol ha ha ha

I remember reading that too. Can't recall who it was though. Even for a bag of coffee beans I'm still not doing any only done one and that was when they'd been let down and were desperate so got a fee!

That was me. A standard tactic has been to buy as little as possible that has to be bought - ie some months you can get away simply with buying a "coffee", so get an espresso. Then spend the rest of the money either on treating yourself (or also a friend) to breakfast/elevenses/lunch/tea/dinner, or buy half the shop (coffee beans, mugs, tshirts etc). Add onto that a stamp on your card towards a free coffee some other time and the conclusion is they're not too bad.

This is why I like the VAS system... Buy an espresso and claim the full reimbursement doesn't appear to work like that on the Sassie system though! :rotfl:

I have done one before but just bought what i was supposed to. It depends on the compnay. i.e. Gap pay full reinbursment regardless but RE only pay for what you spend of the possible reinbursment.

Thanks for telling me i'm not mad by the way lol

I'll give it a go and see if i get paid.
