Came into store to sell my phone, which was only a few months old and kept in a case, before checking it I got told grade C, when asked why, didn't get an answer, the staff member was very rude to me throughout the transaction, told me to return at 13:38, after it had been tested, I returned, to be told abruptly "not ready come back in 15 minutes" I left and returned to be met by the staff member saying "yep grade C" in a very smug manner, I asked for cash, he said "it would have to be a bank transfer" but I wanted the cash which as stated online and in store isn't a problem, I did think maybe they don't have £270 in the store, but it's not like I was wanting £1000s, but he then returned after moaning to another member of staff with the cash, no manners from the staff, I have emailed the complaints department to which they totally ignored the staff part of the email and told me why the phone was a grade C, I completely understood that I agreed to trade in, it was the way in which the staff member conducted the transaction. The landscape of the gaming retail front isn't a very positive 1 as of late with Game closed down and other places ceasing to sell physical games, with the way CEX or at least this shop I can all but guarantee they will be closed down if they keep treating customers like this, I have shopped here for years, I travelled to the Leeds branch before the York branch was opened, thank you for reading, apologies for the essay
