    Can I put in a little request. Can whoever does the new thread just put a quick note in capitals and bold against the eating company that cannot be named and put something like AKA EATING COMPANY THAT CANNOT BE NAMED? It's on the first page and I think it would save a lot of hassle/repetition for anyone who wants to know who they are. (I'm sure the said company won't mind to much if they have a Facebook page). Also, that company is not "all that" as you have to travel far and wide to get your points up, and then you are on a rotation for the restaurants when you have a lot of points!

    Has anyone else noticed that the Italian brothers restaurants on MF have suddenly had their reimbursement's cut but you still have to order all the same things? I only did one last week at the higher reimbursement and it still only just covered the cost of what I was expected to buy! With nearly a third wiped off that's another job I won't be doing again in the future.

    And MF strike again....

    the bookies that are reimbursement only as well is a poor show even though I did take 2 as I can match bet so assured to make some profit.
    Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk

    At least with the bookies they offer a full reimbursement - with the Italian brother's you have to order 1 starter, 2 mains, 1 dessert, 1 coffee and 2 drinks, there's no way that what they offer is going to cover all this!

    I've emailed MF to ask if it's a mistake :)

    Not been MSing for months, well not properly, only my local bank branch and occasional store in my hometown (walking distance) so basically, 4 a month.

    Just accepted a job at a tyre place within walking distance of my home but on reading the brief it says I have to take 4 covert photos of POS material within the store. This is mental. I've been in there to have my tyres done, it's a tiny office, always manned. How the hell am i suppose to do this? :mad:

    Nice to see you're still around; How's the nail and waxing going?

    I looked at that tyre job but I have so much on at the moment I didn't see how I could fit it in.
    Glad you are doing it :rotfl:

    BTW - Not worth an alert but there should be around 15 jobs popping up on GfK and ESA shortly (TV providers and egg chemists) across WA, M and SK postcodes.
    I had to drop them due to a little domestic crisis needs sorting today.

    With all due respect mate its this approach that validates their decision to do reimbursement only. I could MB it off too but in the interests of trying to convince these companies that working for nowt isn't an option I won't.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    I have some due, but they are still showing on Mystics as 'pending payment', so nothing before Tuesday of next week.

    Hi, (never posted on this thread before), I've been doing jobs for GAP for about 3 months and they've just emailed to say that I have had my account cancelled and that I am unable to reapply? They haven't given a proper reason? I have had no problems with any of the jobs that I have done and they were ringing me every week to offer me more work? Has this happened to anyone else?

    Quick Q on the posh dept store on ABAi -- can you return the purchase? Obviously can't see the brief beforehand to check so have never accepted one but wondered if any of you nice people knew?
