I can't believe it, I've just had emails from Gap to say my 2 mini supermarket jobs have been cancelled. I checked my account and even the one I did 2 days ago is showing as cancelled so I'm worried they won't pay me! I'll email them but has anyone else had this or know what might be the reason? The job I've already done was straightforward enough and I submitted it on time so I can't see that it was a problem with that that has caused me to lose the job, at least I hope not! Very confused!

Yup, I had the same this morning, luckily only one booked (and cancelled) so I am glad I had other stuff to do along the route, as all mine are pretty far-flung ..... but then Gyp are a law unto themselves.

Got this reply from MF -

Thank you for your email.
We now have 2 different types of XXXX assignments one is a high reimbursement as you have to order one dessert and one starter.
I hope this helps.


Mine still has the dessert in the brief, only the starter has been removed. If both had been taken out then the big reduction in reimbursement would make sense. I'll have to email them again.

Same with the one I did last night. If they remove the dessert as well, then that would make more sense and be much fairer in terms of the reimbursement limit too.

Should I go out of my way to get my points up and out of bronze on the company that shall no longer be named?

I'm not in Scotland, but this is just general advice to all and sundry re: that company. If I could go back in time, I would not have bothered with this company. I travelled far and wide to get my points up (think 2 hours there and 2 hours back). Since I've got to the top (thanks to Serendipity and Boyoboy for keeping me in the loop about what was available in my area when I was a silver), 2 of the restaurants in Yorkshire have closed down, 1 more closing soon, they lost the contract with 3 which means that will leave me with 2 restaurants I can do every 4 months if someone does not beat me to them! So basically, I worked my bum off to get to the top and the only visits they seem to have now is in Manchester.

Also, be warned, there is a proofreader (I'm sure she is an ex RE inmate!) who likes to knock a lot of marks off just for the hell of it. So even if you get to the top, chances are you will be going down soon after!

Anyroad, I am loving the GR pharmacy reports. Flew through one in 5 minutes. Wow. So glad RE/MF lost the contract. Their report took almost an hour.

Totally agree with this...

Nice post Mimi.

Some good inside info based on genuine experience.

I've not worked for That Mystery Dining Company, never fancied it. But if I was thinking about it then your post would have been extremely useful mate. Nice one

Oh yes, she is ridiculous!

Anyone else done a Helion loan job? Mine took less than a minute to tell me my 'cousin' would be ineligible and there was nothing more todiscuss.

RE fees are getting more and more ridiculous. The report takes up about an hour with having the write same thing over and over again. Would you recommend this place to your friends ? blah blah. The fact that they have taken off starter for the Italian restaurant shows its pretty pointless doing them.

Hi All

Have been at the test questions for the TV in the air company for the last hour with no luck. Getting very frustrated can anyone help?

Many, many people. Gap seem to have a clear out of shoppers every now and again with no particular reason for the decision.

This used to happen a lot and if I remember rightly it was always a mystery as to why certain people were sacked by them. I've been with them for 5 years and this morning had 3 jobs cancelled by them for no apparent reason, including one that I completed and submitted a couple of days ago!(

Thanks both, I won't take it too personally then! Just hope they still pay me as they didn't last month and I can no longer log in to contact them?
