Did my first Gap burger in months yesterday. See that the price has gone up and the reimbursement hasnt. They were quick enough to lower the reimbursement when it went down with the VAT decrease. Funny how they're not so quick in putting it up. Have sent them a quick message pointing this out.

Bit busier this week. 5 electricals, 2 diy, 2 supermarket, 2 jewellery, 2 pubs, one charity, one burger. But nothing for next week.

Have a quick look at what you have to buy, cos the chicken job you now buy a smaller portion, which wasn't clear on the first one I did.

Does anyone know if Abai are ok with changing job dates? I've accepted 3 jobs and I know you are supposed to do them within 2 days of accepting but my work have changed my shifts so I can't do them til Thurs an Fri (I accepted on Monday). I've e-mailed them to ask, btu just wondered if anyone knew if they ad been ok with it in the past?

They've always been fine in the past with me.

I did a couple of garage jobs last week. I really wasn't looking forward to them but they were so easy. In an out in a few minutes. The company wasn't even mentioned both times so much more straightforward than expected. I was planning to use my old address and my maiden name so if any correspondence did end up there the new owners would just bin it, as it happens it never came to that.

Same here, took 5 mins. Company never mentioned and no advertising anywhere around. Only 3rd party info I was asked for was insurance company.

I've only changed by one day- but never had a problem.

Thanks! The jobs look ok and I don't want to give them up - just work messing me about with shifts

RE are driving me mad! :mad:

I just spent 2 hours doing a particularly lengthy report only to find the website got stuck when I tried to submit it. I phoned them and they said it had happened because they'd released the job mistakenly while I was completing the report! Apparently they'd got mixed up and thought I'd gone over the deadline when I hadn't at all!:eek:

They offered to double the fee which is very kind of them (much appreciated) but I have to go and do the whole report again argghhhh!!

I won't be popping out for that nice coffee today after all

I've noticed that too. Pizza jobs are hardly worth doing now.

Just got back from a Gyp phone shop and, despite asking for a business card, didn't get one as I was told I could speak to anyone when I returned. Sales woman was awful and report reflects this.

Expecting not to get paid...

My last Gyp report was also a v poor service pizza job, so now expecting to be fired as THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!!!

Did you pick up a brochure? I've downloaded that in the past as proof of visit and its been passed on a number of occasions.
