Are we talking about the same GAP??? most jobs on gap goes within 5 minutes of being put on andalso, dont count "Reimbursements" as profits (Not sure if you have or not)

Sorry for being funny but I cant see how u make £167 in 10 days....

It's not £167 is 10 days. It's £167 for the whole of August (counting jobs I have planned and havent done yet)

I'm sorry you dont like Gap, but I do, it suits me, and I must be lucky that there arent many shoppers in my area because there are always plenty of jobs.

And I dont think Gap will give two hoots about 2 people boycotting them!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

The only positive thing about GAP is that they won't bother me right now as one of their staff made a comment on my account that I'm too busy to take their low paid jobs for a certain time.

Anyway, you don't want to get me started over them. I hate companies like GAP who pay peanuts (if they pay as they'll try to get out of it), who cancel your assignments after you've been or when you are sitting at home, waiting for their paperwork and who don't appreciate that we are humans too and have a life too. :mad:

We are not sitting at home all day, waiting for their "brilliant" jobs.

I'm now refusing to pick up their jobs and now only carry out bonus jobs and only if they suit me. :A

But for a little bit over a fiver i would rather not get bullied by the pushy sales reps that need sales and dont want to let you go...

I just tell them I need to run it by my husband as he's the one who pays the bill and they can't argue with that!

I'm happy to do coffee shops for GAP - a paid coffee on the way into work (or sometimes on the way home).

I'm happy to cross the road from my office to get paid to eat a burger, once every 2 months. Ditto to buy stamps.

I'm happy to use them for a free burger if I am planning to be in London for the day and need a free lunch.

Otherwise - forget it

Anyone had experience of doing the GAP pizza dine in one? I can fit this in when doing other shops nearby but will be alone and it says you need to buy two refillable drinks as part of it (hope I'm not giving away too many details here).

Anyone any advice on how to best manage this as a lone person - it says one or two people so I know its allowed to go by yourself but just wondering about the buy two drinks aspect when they are refillable?

Anyone got these instructions to check whether it really is possible for one person?

TBH redcar I think it would be obvious as a single person visit; I think GAP are just trying to get the most exposure by saying you can visit on your own. I've done this a few times with my GF and it's a defo two person job with the amount of food you need to order...

Hope this helps!

If you do decided to do it on your own, you could always ask them to box up the leftovers for you (assuming its the dine-in I'm thinking of!);)

On one I did in June it says 1 or 2 refillable drinks, so you should be ok & ok, you prob won't eat it all, but don't think it'd be unreasonable to order what they ask as one person - a starter, med pizza and salad with a drink? That's what was on my instructions. You can always dress smart and pretend you're on business and just popped in for lunch accompanied by a newspaper - preferably one with some money off coupons, obviously!
