    Does anyone think it's a bit off for GAP to not pay a fee (only reimbursement) on the pizza companies?

    I appreciate you could see it as a 'free' meal but it just feels a little stingey on their part to me....

    (It's more annoying as I really fancy a pizza for tea but I don't want to do that job on principle!)

    Ive done a couple and I ordered what you had to and it came to less than the reimbursement anyway so did make a little profit of about £4 i think. It is a bit stingey of them though but think its becuase they fill them without having to pay a fee, a bit like the petrol ones which also dont have a fee.

    I have to say within an hour I've become a filthy hypocrite - have just accepted three of these as I've realised I have the whole week off next week and would rather not go food shopping if I can help it!! ;)

    I'm such an 4ss.

    Ah, don't worry. I'm living off a diet of fast food atm. I am also driving hubby mad. If we are going out anywhere I have to have a quick check to see if I can fit in any MS.

    I know - we're off to Liverpool and Birmingham at different points of our week off - guess who's added them to their defined areas on RE?!!!

    Oh god it's becoming pathetic!

    I'm getting to the point (I knew I would) that I won't go and eat somewhere unless I'm being paid to do it! ;)

    Hi

    Not sure where to begin, however, times are really hard for us at the moment, and I thought I may be able to earn some extra income as a “Mystery Shopper” within the Birmingham area.

    Any advice please?

    It was odd going shopping in Newcastle today and not checking for jobs I could pick up to do while I was there :o:D

    And I still mentally remember assistants names and descriptions etc., even though I am not working :o
    Here I go again on my own....
  • :j :j I'm so excited I just have to share...

    I'm going to a casino to do a MS, tomorrow!

    YAY! I've always wanted to go to one, but I get scared that I will loose too much money. I don't have to worry now because I'm gambling with someone elses money. I have to have a meal too!

    Oh, I can't wait! What do you wear to a casino?
