did you give him a job back?
 |
|
By:
I said to him "You more or less told me to stick my job up my erse"
He replied !Aye but I didnae swear or anything" He was a good cashier and the punters liked him so I took him back. |

The boy was alright apart from being a Hibee that hated Hearts and Rangers.
When I left I'd made him up to a deputy manager then he made manager and I think is still there. |

|
By:
That's it the Silver Wing. Pretty tough but the punters were okay with the staff in the shop we had there.
I was there on and off for about 12 years. I covered the borders as well so a lot of driving involved. |
