    So now the small blue fast supermarkets are gone - probably the first mystery shop I've ever did! Not the same though since the mileage allowance for these visits was removed without a word to shoppers a few years ago though!

    Thanks for the update. Shame about this, the shops were nice and easy and steady work.

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts I've been Money Tipped!
    I think I have upset GapBuster. I did a job on Monday in the afternoon. When I got home and tried to express the results the code would not work for me to do it. So, I quickly emailed them and told them this. I got a email back last night at 19:50 which said get the results in by the end of tonight and also received a phonecall while I was on the phone. They left a message saying we need the results within the next hour or we will be unable to pay you.

    This morning I can't log in do you think that is a sign I have been fired through no fault of my own?

    That or their dodgy site is playing up again, being fired by Gap is a rite of passage, congrats :-)

    I joined them a couple of months ago and saw the tortuous training modules you had to read through and pass and the pay rates and giving them a wide berth. I shall no doubt be sacked for not doing a job for them. Also where I live there is a limited number of fast food outlets so unless they offer something different I shall retire myself quietly.

    Was thinking exactly the same. Its called taking a bit of pride in what you do.

    Or at least common sense, sounds like these people are being too lazy to be lazy.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    Is it worth pointing out to Gap that the chicken timings they ask for on the brief do not match the timings they ask for on the questionnaire.. which do not match the timings on the orientation? Or would I just p**s em off enough to sack me...?
    Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk

    I noticed that on my last chicken shop too. Didn't say anything, will do the next time though.
