    Hi Tractor Girl, when I posted on the alerts thread re: Bare the other posts hadn't gone on yet, then my pc did something odd which delayed the post, hence the double up. Sorry to all for that:)
  • My oh my.

    Gyp burger dared to say they didn't sell any of the product I criticised during the timeframe. I got rang up specially to do two in one timeframe, ordered the same in both resturants, and the second product was noticeably more tough and chewy, which I noted. And then the query comes - please confirm what you ordered because the site say they did not sell any X meals during the timeframe.

    What rot!

    I set them right.

    I see that GR have sent payments out today, which should be in the bank Wednesday or Thursday. They haven't paid slapper competitor visits yet, so looks like another 2 weeks for those!

    Bloody confusing. They have paid me for one of the slapper competitors, but not the other and I did them in the same week? Confused dot com.

    Managed my mammoth visit sellection today including yet another burger! With my reimbursements today, I got a hand lotion, a summer jacket, a really posh jumper, 3 massive bags of sweets, lots of shopping and groceries, a pair of running trainers and a t shirt. Gosh, it's a bit like the generation game. All I needed was a fluffy teddy. LOL. I'm off to bed now I think.

    No worries. You can always go back and delete a post later if you notice it is a duplicate. Welcome to the thread by the way I dont think we've "met" before :)

    Sadly, prepare to have your job thrown out and not be paid for it. They will also ignore any further emails you send them about it. Lots of us have been in the same situation. They value this contract more than they value us shoppers so will always side with the burger joint and give them a glowing report. It sucks but its true.

    I had a bit of a confrontation with GYP a fortnight ago. It was a dine in but there was not a single seat left. So rather than lean against the bin to eat my food and stand out like a sore thumb i took it to the car. She said that i wouldnt be paid so i asked what i should do in this situation. She went quiet and then said that they would be prepared to pay me for this visit. I visited the toilet first and waited 10 minutes in the queue so witnessed everything that i needed too.

    Thanks Tractor Girl, I havn't been on here for long and am not used to the etiquette for this forum yet, plus I didn't know I could delete posts... I'm not brilliant with techy stuff so I apologise in advance for mistakes I may make:)

    I had one like that as the place was absolutely heaving with school children. As soon as I said the magic receipt word, a member of staff came out and scattered a passageway through the children and presented me with my very own table. It was like Moses parting the Red Sea :D
    Here I go again on my own....

    Oh dear oh dear. Looks like someone has been sacked by RA. All the station shops that had been picked up have now miraculously re-appeared. That's about 9 of them. I've just done my reports which were all mahoosive! Will I get sacked too? Eeeek.

    PS. To anyone doing the Queen's grand daughter shop, don't expect to buy anything cheap. All the sale items were just short of half a ton! Eeeek.

    They are not letting anyone reschedule them, even within the shopping window so my guess would be people releasing them, happened on the last wave too, I picked up two sets of three after they called me and asked if I could do them.
