    I have just been convinced* by Gap to do a chicken dine in tomorrow lunchtime. Having just looked at the meal I have to buy there is no way on earth I will eat half of it.

    I am sure that I can sit with someone else as long as they buy their food separately with this client but what I am wondering is that if BF was to come with me, buy his food separately but eat some of my meal (with me obviously trying everything first etc etc) is that likely to cause a problem? I am just not wanting to waste the food tbh :D

    * Convinced = fuel and corner shops and increased fee

    I go in first and buy the meal, sit down and then my partner comes in..plonks himself down and helps me eat it. The MS job is just to taste and check the appearance of the food..job done!;)

    Gapbuster are quite strange.
    They never reply to any of my emails.
    Then they phone me from an international number, and I think it is someone from America or Australia.

    Melbourne, Australia. They never respond to emails, don't really know why they have an email address. If you ring them, they will sack you. Its not strange, its the way its always been. We call them Gyp.

    ESA are taking the pi$$. I'm tempted to call them and say take my details off your register. I can see them offering a 1p fee for their visits in the not too distant future. I can't believe people have snapped up the banks for what they are offering! There must be some very desperate people out there!!!

    Would anyone be interested in referring me for BARE? I see on the first page that this earns them 1 euro. Please PM me if you would like to do this.

    EDIT: Someone has helped, thanks everyone.

    Are there actually any documented instances of people being fired for calling them? I've phoned them before and they were very helpful...
