    Or actually just "free" pizza - no cash at all really!

    ......and even then, IT'S NOT FREE!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

    I HATE it how MSing companies assume you're happy for a 'free' meal - it's the one thing that will always pee me off about them.

    this is my first pizza job and Im getting to know the ropes still lol!
    the way I looked at it with the no payment just reimbursement was that we wouldnt treat ourselves to going out for a meal at the pizza place but we are because it will be reimbursed. Yes I will have to remember a bunch of things and also fill in a report for it when I get home but it will be nice to go out for a meal. (of course this only applies because I like pizza!)
    Looking at the questionnaire after booking it in I can see that it looks like a long assignment and with lots of timing points etc so could be quite an effort. It may be my first and last pizza job but I'll see!
    obviously it would be better if there was a fee too, but for me I would rather go out knowing that Im being used by the company than I would accept a tiny fee for spending ages in a travel agent or a phone shop. :) I am really going off this company anyway now. There are ones that treat you much better and having started with gap I was really suprised when I signed up with others that give you email addresses and phone numbers to call etc.

    I've started doing a bit for GAP, but they are probably the worst, they don't pay enough, one phone shop with them is a low fee, I do another phone shop with another company (GfK) and its double the fee plus!

    Their fees are low, even the premium ones are still nowhere near what they should be paying.
