ask someone who works at cex anything.
>>321660614
Why do you smell so fucking bad?
>>321660614
How do you pronounce it?
>>321660614
what the fuck is a cex
why does it smell of piss?
Is it really the cesspool of scumbaggery and shamelessness that I hear it is?
Also, what town/city for reference?

why do you fucking autists have two branches in Newcastle?

What's the most grim thing you've ever seen while working?
Also seconding the questions about why every CEX smells like piss and weed.
>>321660671
i wear deoderant and clean clothes everyday. my co workers might smell, i cant vouch for them. i can certainly say however, that some people who trade stuff in reek.
>>321660685
sex. but no one says it as one word, you pronouce it c-e-x.

im not giving you my exact region, it is however in essex. scumbaggery and shamelessness? im not sure how to answer that. i will state that we hate alot of customers (though in fairness, 90% of them are fucking morons, who get outraged when u offer them only 5p for their copy of fifa 07). i am continually amazed however that people trade in their crap here. there are genuinely moments when even i am amazed at how low the trade in price is, (and moreso, at the fact people take it). all in all, i wouldnt say its any worse than any other similar store in the UK.
>>321660871
the fact i get to deal with games everyday. and how laid back it is for the most part. yes its fairly crap pay and can be monotonous, but having done my share of work in retail, its easily the best experience so far.
>>321661097
most grim thing was a mans dvd collection, each case was encrusted in snot and filth. the dvd's themselves were covered in some greasey oily substance. he smelt awful.
second to that is just people who decide to have their family affairs instore. ive seen bad mothers screaming their lungs out at unruly children.
one of my colleagues was threatened to be stabbed because he offered a customer too little money for his phone he was trying to trade in.
>>321661117
Why don't you wash the floors?
>>321661834
How often do people try to trade in stolen goods? Or to put the question another way, how often do you get contacted by the police about stolen goods passing through your shop?
>>321661854
we do but not frequently. and why that is i really dont know. our store doesnt smell generally though. i find its moreso the customers.
Stop lying. We know you bathe in piss.
>>321660614
What's the most number of piss soaked DVDs you've handled in a day?
>>321661834
>one of my colleagues was threatened to be stabbed because he offered a customer too little money for his phone he was trying to trade in
Ah yes, he offered a customer too little money for "his" phone. I guess this ties into the scumbaggery and shamelessness of it all, but does it bother you that whatever percentage of your customers are obviously just trying to flog off their stolen goods?
>>321662371
not really, considering i already said how little it happens. i think you will find most regular people who trade in stuff get it from boot sales, or stupid people on facebook groups.
>>321662270
what an odd thing to say
What is the lowest amount of money a trump has ever accepted for his tat?
Do you get a lot of gypsies?
Do people argue over the price of cheap shit, as in the price they will pay you?
Who is the worst ethnicity?
>>321660614
Why do people trade in anime? Why dedicate the smallest shelf to it and then insist on sectioning a huge section to Donkey Kong drums and other shit peripherals. Do people still purchase DVDs?
>>321663141
Well if it's on a small shelf it's because not many people are trading it in. And donkey konga 16 is next years most awaited game, catch the fever. Which ironically you will if you handle any cex merchandise.

i cant answer that, ive experienced the worst all races have to offer. but also the best as well.
i will say some people on this board would be dumbfounded by the lack of common sense some members of the public have. ie: excuse me do you play football in this game *holds up a copy of fifa*. (im not even kidding)
>>321663141
we sell more dvd's than video games, and we have roughly equal stock of both.
>>321662912
>not really
I guess having a conscience would only prove to be an inconvenience in such a job.
>considering i already said how little it happens
No you didn't. How little/often does it happen?
>i think you will find most regular people who trade in stuff get it from boot sales, or stupid people on facebook groups.
Don't give a fuck about the normies. I asked if buying clearly stolen goods bothers you.
>>321661834
How much would I get for Mario Tennis Ultra Smash? It's so shit.
>>321664964
they actually give decent prices
>>321663605
>excuse me do you play football in this game *holds up a copy of fifa
To be fair, Football Manager exists
Why did you sell me a copy of bloodborne that didn't work
>>321667343
why
Has anyone ever come in with porn / hentai? What were they like?
>>321669970
I used to work in CeX in Leeds some years back. I had a guy come in asking if we had La Blue Girl on UMD every couple of days for fucking weeks.
>>321660614
do you test any of the shit you buy from people?
half the stuff I get from there doesn't work
>>321660614
Is "cex" pronounced with a soft or hard C?
How many Sex jokes do you hear in 1 week?
>walking in expecting nothing
>mfw the PS2 section
All these rare classics at ridiculously low prices~
>>321660614
I ordered a PS2 from you fuckers and it took 4 weeks to arrive . Is the shop decent for preowned games and deals? i always pass by one in the morning but never go in
i traded in a roken xbone controler (the left analog stick was fucked) and all you guys did to test it was turn it on.

Whats your best blu ray and PS4 deals right now? Need to fill my shelf
Every time I walk into a CeX I feel nothing but sadness. I'm not even taking a stab at you, every time I go in I have to look at the haggered old faces, the roughed up Sports Direct trainers, and the over 30's wearing tracksuits and I feel pure sadness for the working class children buying copies of old ass games they've probably wanted for months. And I honestly wonder how we've advanced, as a race, as far as we have.
In every store I've been to (at least 3), this is always the case, and why does each store stink so horrendously of body odour? How hard is it to clean the fucking place?

I feel like I don't want to be seen walking in or out of there.
>>321660614
When you are still there in 10 years will you kill yourself?
>>321672131
I don't mind going in there, or even buying things from there, cheap games are cheap games... but the people who are usually in there are the bottom feeders of British society

You kust know the people involved in pricing at stores all browse /v/ and are just out to piss Nintendo fans.
