Yup, CEX not only accept BTC and pays for your stuff in BTC, but they also have Bitcoin ATMs in many of their stores.
I wouldn't get too excited about this, went in today and got expected response from first girl behind till, second knew enough to ask her colleague who knew enough to say that they aren't set up for it. Appears to just be selected stores.
Or it might have been a case where staff wasn't properly trained in dealing with BTC (or forgot what they've learned), so it was easier for them to lie about not being set up to avoid dealing with it. It's pretty common for any retail staff or customer service to give you a bullshit response whenever you have any more complex/unusual query. After all, most of them are teens or in early 20s.
