    Hi

    I think Gap are trying to wind me up. Have done a phone shop and have had an e-mail wanting clarification of every question I answered no to. For the fee they offer they must be joking.

    I sent them a complaint weeks ago and have not even been afforded the courtesy of a reply.

    {said with sarcastic tone} Wow I'm sooooo lucky!!!!

    Just had a phone call from Gap and I've been talked into doing some mobile phone shops and a pizza delivery in the next few weeks.

    As I've helped them out he said they'd help me out and I've been given a couple of petrol jobs. One of them, I have to purchase at least £10 worth of fuel and spend £1 in the shop and get reimbursed £11 and no fee; the other one, I have to put in a minimum £10 of fuel and only get reimbursed £8 and no fee - and I'm meant to be grateful that he's given the jobs to me??

    I know I'd have to buy fuel anyway, so at least I'm getting some of my money back, but to not pay a fee is downright slavery!!! (Christiano Ronaldo take note :wink:)

    Oh, and he also allocated me a stamp shop job that I told him on the phone I couldnt do 'cos I was on holiday!!!

    Same happened to me, although no petrol jobs available at the moment! So, a little supermarket job in September as a bonus... Pizza Hut dining one tomorrow that I said I couldn't do, so that will be cancelled

    apc4tr you will have to remove company names from your post as they break your rules of client confidentiality. ;)

    I completed a PO job for you,ll know who but I couldnt get the guy to do the thing i.e. he wouldnt say what he should without me having to ask outright for this service. Now I dont think they want you to do that. The approved box is now coloured pink, does this mean I wont be paid? I couldnt buy what I was supposed to.

    I was wondering if jobs ever get released on a Sunday? I keep checking but thought it might be a waste of time?
    TIA:o
