    This was my first time visiting REI and unfortunately the experience made me uncomfortable. While the store has great products, I felt like I was being followed everywhere I went and stared down by an employee of Indian descent. Each time I moved to a different section, including upstairs, he appeared right behind me and continued watching me. The situation made me feel unwelcome and uneasy, and I ended up leaving early just to make my purchase. I didn’t get the chance to explore the store, which was disappointing for a first visit.
