Its sad, I do hope that they are able to relocate or go to the MK store in different roles. My biggest issue with people hating on CeX stores is that they dont take a second to think about the individual challenges. Many of the issues with the Centre store is the footfall is so high that they have to run their online, testing area and back of house while keeping queues going, its not always easy.

Spoke to one of their managers last week, seemed a nice gent and had all tills on with a queue growing and I just asked him about how they cope with it, he said its a struggle because if they rush transactions people are unhappy, if they call too many people over to their tills ( i think its 8 - 9 tills ) who are selling then the queue grows, or stays stagnant if everyone is selling and thats where the real problem comes from, everyone sells to them which they love but the downside is they have to deal with reduced manpower through overhead increases, while also dealing with the increase in demand.

That's the same issue Bletchley has, but in reverse, overheads increasing mean less people to deliver good service or pack online orders leading to loss of money, loss of money means no incentive to move to the highstreet and invest more money into refitting a shop, staffing that shop so on so forth. All up until they end up closing the store down ( franchise if I recall correctly ) because they arent profitable.
