    I can never think of anything decent, think last time I asked if the fries were ready salted so looking forward to reading some better suggestions as well!

    Has anyone else done the financial survey on GfK?

    I always ask what drink options there are. Ties in with the "what drink would you like?" question when ordering.

    I did it....
  • Use the actual cost of public transport. Claiming costs for going further is no problem unless it is just done to make a big loss, then it could get questioned if you are ever audited. For example don't try to claim travel from Manchester to London on the basis you can do a £10 job in London.

    Thanks! :T

    Gap chicken, could you not just ask for the time? Or does it have to be food related?

    Got to be menu-related, alas. Their laughable example question is a complete give-away... also quite absurd given the context.

    Is it just me or are pretty much all Gap jobs full of "scenarios" which are dead give aways? Phones and DIY weren't as bad but I've not seen either of them in nearly a year. Its like they do work where they want the staff to know your a shopper.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    Have you ever done a military base one? Good grief...

    This is one I often use, because it does seem quite natural.
    Well, after the second or third time maybe not so much!! :D

    Drinks are your best bet. Seeing as gapburger you have coke, tango, sprite etc and chicken you have 7up. As I'm a lemonade drinker not coke it is quite a crucial difference ha!

    For some reason I always forget to order my drink with chicken and they have to ask me and so I always end up asking them what the options are anyway. Chicken flummuxes me far more than burger, dunno why!

    Speaking of gap chicken, does anyone else get the emails with a long list of 'available' assignments at the bottom? When I punch in most of the codes, it says assignment not valid - just me?
