thanks for the tip timmne - I must race to gaps site to find some more burgers so I can improve my technique.

just spent 20mins trying to resize my photo of my receipt. that was fun.

Timmne

I wouldn't bother - they don't look at the receipts!

Is it normal that Gap-pizza costs more than what you are reimbursed?

I was given a limit of £12.50 but the order came to £14.98 I was told on the phone that if I get a large its £2 cheaper than a medium but had to feel silly and say I didn't want that cause you can only order what they say - can't you? :rolleyes:

Hi CheeseCat

I've been in that situation before with the special offers thing - was quite funny ... What did you order?

I think if you order just a few toppings and garlic bread its slightly cheaper... Not sure if you order wings though ??

Hippygirl

With the electrical shops there is a spending limit of £10 - does anyone know what sort of things they sell for that amount? Thanks!

:hello: parkemitch

I ordered medium pan with peppers (and got pepperoni! :rolleyes: ) mushrooms and chicken and chicken wings - maybe thats why its a bit over the allowance.

I felt really silly because he said "its £2 cheaper if you get a large rather than a medium" and I had to say "oh! right.. errrrm well I think i'll leave it"

Him: "but its more for £2 less than what you'll pay now"
Me: "ummm but I don't think i'll eat it all, so I'll leave it, thanks" :rotfl:

Then he offered me something where I get my starter free and again I had to say no, didn't feel very money saving of me

that is so funny it's painful, really made me chuckle, I mean what kind of a muppet would turn that offer down? The MS company really needs to sort this stuff out with the companies who hire them. It just makes it laughable.:rotfl:

what do people think of Retail Maxim? I've been waiting ages for them to recruitin my area, are they worth working for?

Hi Timmne - yes GAP do check your receipts - I''ve often been asked to re-send when they say they can't read them (even more of my time spent!)

sinderella - Retail Maxim are great - but they don't have online booking system. It relies on them texting you, then you phone them and more often than not, the work's taken. However they have lots of small shops and some high value ones (eg beauty). Once you start with them, and call them up, they often find additional jobs.

thanks Cadby, weird there's no online system. I'm at home a lot and no signal here so that might not work well for me. Would like some decent jobs though. Bored with coffee.

I am with Gap but not done anything for them since I failed their test and it's never allowed me to retake. Are they worth persevering with? They seem to get bad press on here...
