If you do a no fee job\blog then he asks Why are you working for nothing -unless it's to receive the hotel room\flight\ McD's?
(feel free to argue it's to get "experience" and see how that goes)

As of this tax year the "to get experience" line will not work, you will be expected to make profits on your jobs and be asked questions if you don't. Those working and booking in low profits or even loses to get benefits are going to come very unstuck.

Advice from MDC and that article is out of date if it was ever right in the first place.

I signed up with Gap a few weeks ago but have yet to do a shop with them as the burger shops just seemed too much of a phaff for the fee payable.
However I am getting daily emails about a local shop, for some reason my local town never even features in the job search, and the fee has now reached the level where I am seriously considering it.
How do you do the timings without it being obvious? If they have to be to the second that seems like it would be really difficult. Also, do you have to actually ask for an EV meal? I've never heard anyone do that so wouldn't that make you obvious? Could you just ask for its components?
Do they often try to get out of paying or are they pretty good if you fill the brief correctly?

Timer - different options. One being an app on your phone, in your pocket. Push the lap button at the correct point.

I wouldn't ask for components. I simply ask for a meal.

I would expect that you may make an occasional mistake for a start. I wouldn't submit the report in that case, admit it has gone wrong and take it as learning, rather than try to lie your way out of it.

It's worth doing a few at standard pricing for experience and to get known by GAP. The premiums will come later.

Open up the job in Sassie. You'll find the lists under the 'Produce' and 'Availability' sections.

Have GR lost the slapper? Not seen anything for a few months.

Picked my regular queue count up earlier. Guessing it was just an end of the financial year, run out of budget thing.

Shame really, I merch in the same store and I did notice they've got some shiney new "this checkout isn't working" signs.
