    If you are talking GAP I did a job for them on the 2nd Jan and was eventually paid on the 15th March- so looking around 12 weeks...

    Gap? Yes, believe they are.
  • Talking about Burgers and to break the tone, what is the longest time it has taken you to wait for a meal for Gap's Client? 13 minutes is my record, and another 10 minutes to find a car parking space.

    From memory I think around 27 minutes? The particular restaurant had run out of chicken and the poor staff were getting shouted at, the queue was hectic as people were deciding what to change their order to but luckily I was asked to reshop due to extraordinary circumstances as I stated it was not fair to expect staff to work like that. Next visit was excellent but it needs an extra COD down there as it's so busy.

    It was always a laugh asking for a VAT receipt for one pint of lager paid for in cash. Dead giveaway.

    Especially in a country pub where they have to hunt down a receipt pad and hand write it for you.

    I think I have signed up to do a burger shop for the one you are discussing. with the funny drinks. what have I let myself in for?

    Will I wish I had gone to a red and yellow store and paid my own way?

    Gyp Chicken (RIP) was 23 minutes. Threw a load of free stuff in as well for the wait. It was a motorway kind of one. Obviously it got queried but I think that was before it went to the store manager.
    Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk

    Anyone doing much MS work this weekend? Shops were really busy today so doing the Slappers enquiry job was perhaps not a good move.

    My least favourite job - the Blue and Yellow torture chambers has appeared on the board. Who an earth wants to do that job over the bank holiday weekend - bad enough in a normal shopping week?

    No more MS work for me till next week..
