  • Are you sure it's a "nice little petrol job", cranezoe, or are you being taken for a ride by Gap? I recently turned down 2 petrol jobs that they so very kindly offered me when they wanted me to do an out-of-my-way job - because the payment for the job wouldn't even have covered the amount that they ask you to spend and there is no fee either! Rip-off!

    Yes the OKish petrol job questionnaire must be one of GAP's bigger ones (I now know why they don't let you see this before you accept the job :rolleyes:) But as my job is literally 1 minute round the corner I thought I might as well do it. Don't think I would bother doing another one tho ;)

    Edit - I also put a Spam reported message on the alerts as I had reported the furniture post but my post has gone.....do you reckon they removed the wrong one or someone has reported mine LOL ;)

    Just got in to find a message from bare saying they had assigned a shop straight into my shop log as it is near me (to do today!). :mad:

    I have replied on their message system to say sorry folks but I never applied for this shop, I can't do this job as I am busy and I'm going on holiday tomorrow so I wont be about for a week.

    What about assigning the jobs I did apply for??:rolleyes:

    Hi
    Has anyone had any problems with Gap refusing a payment? We are disagreeing on whether an electrical item comes under the category they asked me to enquire about. I am not happy!
