    I've just managed to get onto GAP website without any problems :confused:

    Well I did aburger job last night and noted that although someone had obviously started to empty the bins they hadn't finished so during the full duration of my visit the full rubbish bins were out of their little houses and sat in the middle of the reastaurant! Lovely!

    We'll see what happens as a result of that!

    Well I bet that in a few days (when the client's had the report) they'll contact GAP and they'll say that they've checked the CCTV and there was no such thing, and that they've identified you and you'll be banned from that branch. It's happened to me in the past and it's rather predictable!

    I should have taken some pictures! If I don't get sacked then I might do that in future!!

    Oh, and I can get onto Gap's website too so maybe those who couldn't earlier should try again now

    So the moral of the story it would seem, is to LIE! Well not lie as such! Just to be economical with the truth LOL :rolleyes:

    When you say banned from a particular restaurant Timmne, do you mean as in couldn't do any more MS there or actually banned from being a customer too?!

    Oh - no just banned from shopping it for GAP; i.e. you won't see those jobs again.

    I've been banned from a couple of them - it just makes it even better when I go in there and get a meal for myself and ask for a receipt because I know that they know who I am - they probaby know that I know that they know who I am too :rotfl:

    They still have to perform though, just in case!

    I just wanted to thank you all very much for your tips - I'd never though of becoming a shopper until reading about it, and in my first week have made myself around £30!
    I only wonder why more people don't do it!

    I am new to this MS thing.

    I did my first jobs for gap in May but still haven't been paid. I have e-mailed them 3 times but not received a reply.

    I'm not too worried about the May jobs because it is only a few quid but I have well over £100 in June and I really need that money next month. I can't afford to do any jobs this month in case I am going to be out of pocket.

    Can anyone advise me?
    Thanks
