 (typing) Hi. Hello sir. How can I help? Hi. I’m here to pick up my keyboard. Brilliant! Well if you just give me your surname I can get it for you. I pre-ordered it. Brilliant! All I need then is your surname to check under the system. Oh, but, then I got a phone call. So I got a phone call to confirm the order from a woman. Yep, that was probably Allie who called you. Yeah, that’s her. Okay but all I need for the system is just your surname. So she rang me up but then she sent me a confirmation email. That’s great you got the confirmation email. I just need your surname for the computer.

I can’t remember the confirm…, oh I should’ve brought, I should’ve brought the print out, I can’t remember the confirmation number. Sir, I just need your surname. It had a one in it. One, four, five, I want to say that could be, I don’t know. That might not be the confirmation number, oh god. (sighs) Okay, um, would my credit card help? Sir I just need your surname. It’s one of those keyboards that doesn’t click. I just need your surname, sir. Oh, I’ve got it! When I was doing the order, I was wearing a green shirt. I just need your surname (sighing) and I can find the order in the computer. No, no, no, no ’cause I ordered it online, I was at home, so you wouldn’t even know what shirt I was wearing.

All I need is your surname! All I need is your surname for the system and I can find it for you! Okay what can I give you to help you find this for me? (whimsical, suspenseful music) All I need from you is your surname and I can find it in the computer. I don’t want a computer, I haven’t bought a computer. I just need a keyboard. (screams fumingly) (intense, suspenseful music) I need your surname and then I can find the order in the computer! Adam! What is going on here? Adam, this is highly inappropriate, stand over here.

We’re gonna talk about this soon. I’m so sorry about that! How can I help? Okay so I pre-ordered a SteelSeries keyboard and my last name is Sainsbury. (whimsical music) (typing) Sainsbury… There it is, the SteelSeries Apex. Yes, that’s the one. Here ya go. Thank you! That wasn’t hard at all. (men laughing) Not at all. (upbeat techno music) (record scratching) I’m just after my keyboard. (sighs) What’s your last name man? Sainsbury. (typing) Sainsbury. Yep, that’s still in stock over there. (Adam screams) (panting angrily) He seems stressed out.
