They had a register, and they'd write the date and time, your name, make of phone, their name, and then a number, which would correspond to the number of the locker and the number of a ticket they'd give you, and they'd put the phone in the locker. Then you'd go into the masjid and then, on your way out, you'd pop into the office, give them the ticket, and they'd get your phone out of the locker and return it to you, and you'd sign for collection. Pretty organised, and they dealt with everyone reasonably quickly.
