Bike shop wait is unduly long with employees giving the run around. I like the store but seriously the customer service needs to improve in the bike shops .

This REI is great and all—store is clean, organized, etc., but it’s almost like the employees are programmed to try to get you to sign up with your number and get 30% off or whatever the deal is. Every. Single. Employee. I was just trying to check out with my new $15 MTB bottle and the cashier lady (idk her name but she has this British accent) went ON AND ON about the 30% off thing. I politely said “no thank you” over and over again and she just kept trying to get me to sign up. Like god damnit lady, can you just ring up my items already I genuinely don’t give a crap about no membership thing I never even shop here.
