It dates back to Borders days because when you went on your break, you would ceremonially pull off your lanyard because I had a little snap thing at the back.

You'd pull it off and go outside and have a cigarette because you weren't allowed to smoke wearing your lanyard.

Elis James and John Robins

I used to get told to cheer up.

Elis James and John Robins

Once when I was working at Virgin, I was chatting to my friend who worked on the tills and I served a customer whilst chatting to him.

And you know, you can do everything automatically.

Like after about a month in any job, the till that baffled you is now you can do it with your eyes closed.

So I'm just typing everything, scanning, putting it back.

Elis James and John Robins
#545 - AudioDog, Jibber Jabber Media and Rubadubdub Productions

I don't think I even acknowledged the customer was there.

Elis James and John Robins

And a guy, our supervisor came over and he said, John, that is the worst piece of customer service I have ever seen.

Elis James and John Robins

And he sent me off to do the ordering on the back catalogue CDs, which actually I enjoyed.
