    I always do the toilet first for the burgers. I pay by card. Getting a card slip does not seem to spark quite the same level interest that a tax receipt does.

    if AA keep sending that many emails I will remove my bloody email address

    I thought that this week too, I even tried to un-subscribe but I couldn't find an option without totally removing my email address. Multiple emails for the same low fee jobs.

    The fast food restaurant in question (note no name used) are quite a unique experience. Prompting for a receipt gets the floor show going into overide. I sacked Gap years ago but still delight in getting the staff mincing about in the delusion they will get a good report from me.

    I went into McDs alone a few months back. I fancied the food item on the MS. You would not believe the floor show I got - even got a staff member talking to me, whilst sweeping around me, as I sat reading my Nook trying to kill time. Couldn't help but be overfriendly.

    a few people might want re read the title of this thread and remove client details....
  • Got my first MS at the well known and well discussed food outlet.

    Kind of questioning this receipt bit as usually pay by card and get a card receipt, is this considered acceptable or should I get a full receipt, it shouldn't be an issue really during the shop but want to know whats needed first before I go and do it.

    Get the full receipt. You'll need it. And follow the brief to the letter or they can and will refuse to pay you.

    Tolteca87 is spot on, I was just about to reply the same. Many think the Gyp visits are a doddle and whilst it is true that once you have done them for a while they do naturally become more straightforward as you get used to the procedures some do fall foul of the strict guidelines and think they can bend the rules. Do exactly what is asked of you and so long as you enjoy the food and experience then they can become a regular and rewarding part of your MS'ing portfolio as without these type of reliable monthly jobs I do not think that I would be doing this. It's great when the MS company contacts you or grants you early access to visits to carry out rather than the other way around. Good Luck.
