    You had a problem, he knew you had a problem so whats the problem? You are clearly the problem if you have a problem with that.

    While discussing an issue with customer service staff at their Uxbridge Store, I asked to speak to the manager.

    The manager came to the phone and the greeted me with the words 'What's the problem'!

    Upon me pointing out that I was slightly shocked by his telephone etiquettes, he insisted to justify that it is absolutely acceptable way of taking a call by the words 'What's the problem'.

    At this point, I just told him that I will speak to their central support team about my issue rather than tolerate this aggressive and offensive attitude.

    My issue was finally resolved by the team at head office.

    However, I just feel that this kind of culture is allowed to breed with lack of consequences and I am sure this staff member will carry on speaking to customers in this manner.

    OP are you going to respond at all
  • Maybe they have a problem ?

    For balance my dealings with CEX recently have been great, mainly on their online store, but in store service when I've had an issue was great as well.
  • So no problem even when you have had a problem ?
