    Do Gapburger still do the 'Corner shops', as I have not seen one for ages and the certainly don't appear now when I search for assignments on their site.

    Thanks

    Very few of these appear on the jobs board nowadays. Gap mostly allocates them as "sweeteners" for fast food jobs. They sometimes give them out a couple of months ahead of fieldwork dates. If you accept a fast food job via a telephone call, it is always worth asking what else they will give you (in addition to the enhanced fee, of course).

    I took a photo of the receipt on the post office counter, popped the original in the bag and sent it with the items. No problem for the lovely lady at the post office to do it that way.

    Thank you - will try something like that I think (and also not go to my local post office where there is a very grumpy person who always seems to serve me :rotfl:)

    Am doing a job where I need to send the item back by recorded delivery but have spotted on the job notes I need to include a copy of the receipt in with the item. Am hoping the post office has a photocopier and that they won't mind me faffing around with copying the receipt and then giving it in to be posted - what do other people tend to do with these?

    Is this RM? Do they not mean the receipt for the item you are sending as oppose to the receipt for the recorded delivery?

    No, this one is for React. The instructions aren't clear so I have emailed to check with them, but it's in the Returns section and says to include a copy of the receipt without specifying whether it is the item or the post office one. I am thinking it is possibly the item one but will see what they say.

    Ask for a cash receipt, as well as recorded delivery proof, you can then put the cash receipt into the package and keep the recorded delivery proof of postage?

    They will give a copy at the post office if you ask them nicely :)

    Ted emailed back and I only need the receipt for the item - just have to attach the postage receipt (and the item receipt) in my questionnaire. Was quite looking forward to complicated things at the post office :rotfl:

    Same as the petrol and supermarket. They're handed out as sweetners when they're trying to shift some burgers.
