    with the gap chicken fast food you MUST accept the upsell, but not the burger one. I assume they just haven't sussed that you ordered the bigger one from the receipt or cost of the meal.

    I'd not risk it.

    Assuming they look at all those scanned receipts? I did take the glasses upsell although as you I did not have to, but it was never queried. I think the other issue is there appear to be a wide range of pricing for the same meals (all ending in X.X9 surprise surprise!) and I now know which is the most expensive Golden Arches, which is the medium and which is the cheapest - and the differential never varies.

    I think they make they payment on the 25th. I usually receive it on 27th.
  • Gap usually pay on the 26th via Faster Payments so it appears in your account on the 26th during the course of the day.

    The instructions say:
    "When completing ********* evaluations, you must order your meal as an Extra Value Meal."

    I've always thought that this meant you couldn't go large. I've never used the phrase Extra Value Meal when ordering though. Has anyone else?

    I always just ask for a "meal."

    When I first started out with Gap, I thought that large meals were not allowed. However, quite some time ago, I was served a large automatically. I thought that my assignment would be invalid and I informed Gap. Gap confirmed that large meals are fine.

    well interesting if we can now order large.

    though as it would cost me more, i'll not bother, more fries isn't worth it when the fries are only nice and hot and crisp 50% of the time.

    Am loving the posh dining company - done 3 jobs this week for them, feel well stuffed after all those 3 course meals!
