I used to work for CeX. Their intranet, training documentation, etc are all full of innuendo and euphemisms. It gets old VERY fast.

CeX depresses me. I hate going in there. I like how my local one has all the hardcore porn right beside the anime though.

I've heard the same from people who work at other branches. It's a second hand shop, I wouldn't expect much better.

Went to buy Starfox Adventures one time from cex in Brighton. Got told the game wasn't in stock because the person who traded it in gave the disc for Mario Sunshine instead. Said I could have the MS disc but not the Starfox case to hold it, despite obviously having no use for it.

Second visit, bought Final Fantasy X. Left the store, opened the case and XII was in there instead. Good times.

In the UK we don't call them "cells". "CeX calls", perhaps?

I used to go in there so much as a kid , now i know what that funny smell was ! My mum used to tell me it was sweaty people.

[–]dani317 0 points1 point ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I used to work there about 6-7 years ago. It was pretty bad for stinking of weed and sweat. Good place to work though.

It seems to have had a major image overhaul since I worked there though, it actually has lights and ceilings and shit now although their prices are shit compared to what they used to be.

Funniest thing I ever heard was a bunch of chavs coming up to the counter with a box full of mobile phones and asking "This is the place you can sell nicked phones innit." Erm, nope.

Then there was the time the well dressed businessman cam in with a shit load of nicked dvd's from HMV he was trying to sell us and we were told to delay him over the shop watch walkie talkies.

Damn I got some good stories from working there.

[–]CallMeCurious 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think I remember seeing two chavs stroll into cex with an armful of some awful dance routine work out dvd. after being told they'd get £14 for the lot (which were clearly just taken from a shop, still in cellophane with stickers etc) they announced "alright we'll just go grab a few more so we can get a score".

Pretty much sums up CeX

Oh and the new shop sucks :/ completely. I think the staff dislike it too.

[–]ajiveturkey 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Which CeX? There's one by me in Astoria, NY and I absolutely hate the staff there. Nothing like snobby pretentious 20 year old stoners acting like they know what they're talking about when it comes to used electronics/games.

[–]Fabzie3 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I live by 30th.

I fucking hate CEX. The workers are some of the most lazy people ever. They rarely even offer to help you out. Half the time the staff isn't even doing their jobs they just play games behind the counter. If they are playing, and you ask to buy a game they tell you to wait.

Seriously the CEX in stineway is the worst. I rather walk two blocks down and go to Gamestop

[–]fiyerotiggular 4 points5 points ago

I applied for, and got, a job there a few years back. Turned it down when the phone was answered "Thank you for calling sex"! I still call it C E X

[–]WillyVWade 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Some do (I think most), but they don't give the numbers out for customers.

[–]_For_Science_[!] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I can confirm that no store has an official phone. If any of them give out phone numbers, they are that of employees or management, or a google voice number not endorsed by the company. The stores aren't encouraged to have phone to provide better customer service for the customers in the store, and to not tie up the employee's with phone calls of 'how much u gif for iphones?'.

CeX is an awesome store, next time I go, ill have to get a pic, but they put up a message on the glass door, (I can't quite remember, but allong the lines of) "Dude, careful. There's a door here."

Cex seems to have gone really down hill recently. It's prices have gone up and it's selling and trade in prices are getting very close to the abysmal prices stores like GAME offer you for your old games. It's a common trend with small companies (even though cex was never that small) once they realise how popular they have become they start taking advantage it truly sucks.

The following story is unrelated to the pun in the picture.

I bought an Xbox and Black Ops from CeX once. But the Cod Blops CD had a giant scratch on it and when I got home it wouldn't install. Now, this part is my own fault: I threw the receipt away before I got home (I reaaaally should have kept it), so when I went to return it a few days later, I had trouble getting the disc replaced. I know it's my own fault for not having the receipt, but ffs, the box still had the label on it, it was blatantly bought from CeX, and I only bought it a few days before. It's not like I wanted money for it - I just wanted them to replace the CD. What's worse was that the guy behind the counter immediately said that it was my Xbox's fault: that the disk was burnt because the Xbox was faulty. He didn't realise at the time that I had also bought the Xbox from the same shop, at the same time.

Anyway, to their credit, the manager stepped in and said that if I showed a bank statement with the transaction on it, then he'd agree to exchange it. I got my phone out and went onto my online banking website, showed the transaction on there, and they gave me a replacement CD, which worked fine.

That being said, I definitely wouldn't buy a second hand game from them again. I'm sticking with Amazon - you pay a few quid extra, but at least you know it's from a reputable source.

CEX is a badman shop if only because my local one has a singular metalhead in it and whenever he is alone he fills the shop with deathmetal.

Badman

Death metal

I feel conflicted.
