    One thing that springs to mind with you mentioning pizza - she didn't order pineapple did she? Because for some strange reason that none of us has fathomed - you're not allowed to order pineapple on it. If she did you definitely won't get paid, because they specifically say no pineapple.

    I think the assignment you're thinking about is the Hut for GAP, but I don't think they ever did reimburse £40 for these, unless they have changed it, in which case I may start again! But you are right in saying the pineapple isn't allowed....not sure why....unless it is to do with cooking times????

    Not sure quite which company the £40 meal is for, but I do seem to notice that whenever you put a negative report in any mystery shop it is heavily scrutinised both by the company and the client as it has a knock-on effect for their bonuses, whereas if you put a flawless positive report, they couldn't care less if all the specific details are right because they are happy with 100%!

    I've a quick question about gapbuster, I have an assignment tomorrow and I've downloaded the form but all the words cross over each other and I can't read it properly :confused:

    I've opened it with firefox, internet explorer, adobe pdf, word, nothing works! I'm so sure i've sorted this out before though (i've only had on assignment a while ago and it was cancelled)

    Please if anybody could help i'd be so grateful.

    Thanks, Hayley :)

    Alternatively, if you PM me with who the assignment is for, I might be able to give you brief instructions!

    P.S. If you follow the earlier instructions about margins, you will still have to open it in IE to stand any chance, IIRC.
    Ex board guide. Signature now changed (if you know, you know).

    Hi all

    Is it me or has RE gone completely bonkers; psychadelic colours and now detailed by date; of which some of the years are completely wrong so you can't shop until 2070...???
  • OMG! Whatever possessed them to choose those colours. It hurts my eyes.
  • I have just bagged a great MS, its an assignment for a gym which i am really pleased about, tho i have to pay to join and if i mess it up i dont get it refunded, so i will be paying particular attention to what is required. Its over a six week period and i get to go to the gym as often as i like - thats the great part as i am in need of a kick start to get healthy.
    Love a charity shop bargain

    TNS does the blue ones, but you don't get any fee just reimbursment.

    I spoke to someone at RE just now about another matter and I asked her who was responsible for the gherish colours.

    She told me that it's to make things easier for us. *Apparantly* assignments in RED are due to finish within the next few days. Assignments in ORANGE are due within the next 1-2 weeks and assignments in GREEN are up to a month (which I have to say, does make a bit of sense although I did say to her maybe the colour could be made a bit less BRIGHT!!)

    However .. on my screen that's not the case at the moment! I've got Red for my local ones and Green for Other areas.

    Teething problems I guess :confused:
