    What's the problem with pineapple? :confused:

    I've not done any of these jobs and I'm curious now!
    Here I go again on my own....
  • I would say no, unless you can get pizza hut to put this other order on a different receipt. I would not risk trying to get around the gapbuster rules, because they will just cancel the assignment and not pay you, they are really strict and as it is quite an expensive assignment you are the one that will be out of pocket if they cancel it.
    Hi all, I have just been assigned a pizza job via GAP and I have just printed off my notes and I have just seen the no pineapple rule!
    Does anybody know if I can order the stuff they ask me to eg 2 x drinks, pizza (no p.apple!) and starter and then order an extra starter and pizza for my husband but his fave is hawaiian :rolleyes:, it does say that 4 people max can dine but just wondered if the pineapple rule applied to all pizzas ordered during the visit or just the one I am assessing :confused:

    Hope that all makes sense :p

    Thanks :D

    I was not aware of it either :rolleyes: but you cannot order any pizza with pineapple on or order pineapple as an extra topping!! :confused: Have got no idea why, but heh :cool:

    Hi
    I think the pineapple rule is because it doesn't need cooking and so skews the serving times. Having said that, when I have ever had non MSE visits to the establishment, I always used to have pineapple and the service was always longer than those that had non-pineapple [but then again, I am a bad service magnet so no surprise there].

    If I remember correctly they also don't allow you to order bacon???? God knows what the justification is for this...but hey its GAP, they probably see it as a good way of getting out of paying!!! But I wouldn't risk ordering Pineapple, GAP are well know for not being very flexible with paying when reports have gone against the brief.
  • I have emailed them asking to clarify, as I do want to be paid ;) I will let you know what they say!
    As for bacon, it doesn't mention that on my brief so maybe they sometimes change the toppings you are allowed to order?

    Hope this helps people!

    Just found this out on GAP;

    You know how you're only allowed to select 10 areas on the area search?

    <SNIP>

    I've now amended this to include 20+ areas and made it a favourite on my PC - now I just have to click it (when I'm logged in on another screen) and I'm in!

    Hope this helps all :D

    And here is a way to get a list of EVERY job on GAP


     [URL="http://www.xec.gapbuster.com/WebSelect3/SearchAssignment.aspx?q=search&f1=&f2=&flag=true&f3=&c=&a=&start=&end=&premiumOnly=&pageSize=&pageIndex=1"]http://www.xec.gapbuster.com/WebSelect3/SearchAssignment.aspx?q=search&f1=&f2=&flag=true&f3=&c=&a=&start=&end=&premiumOnly=&pageSize=&pageIndex=0[/URL]
    
  • Can anyone help?
    I've just accepted my 1st assignment for Gap but can't access the paperwork what am I doing wrong?
    I wanted to complete the job this morning as the assignment needs to be done today.
    Thanks
