    Even on a super busy sale weekend, they have plenty of staff around to help customers. I had a very thorough ski boot fitting with Danny. She was sooooo knowledgeable, kind, and patient. Even answered others’ questions as they walked by. Lines moved quickly and the store was in great shape!!

    Fantastic staff if you can find one on the floor. Shockingly large candy selection at checkout line; beware and keep your children far away.

    I was looking for go pro parts aka screws and bolts and the person who answered phone was clearly unfamiliar with anything go pro. Rather than pass me along to someone more knowledgeable-she tried to upsell me an $80 product. Really Rei? What happened to the good ‘ol’ Rei?

    Fix your hours on Google maps. It says you close at 9pm. Drove 40 minutes to pick something up in the store that was not in stock in nearby stores to discover you actually close at 8pm.

    Absolutely Disastrous Experience at REI* I don’t even know where to start. I walked into REI hoping to grab some camping gear and maybe get a little advice. Instead, I entered what felt like an alternate universe where customer service goes to die. Every employee looked like they were auditioning for a documentary called *“How Not to Help Customers.”* I asked about tents, and the guy pointed “somewhere over there” — which turned out to be the bike section. After twenty minutes of wandering, I finally found the tents... right next to the person who sent me on the quest. Then, when I went to check out, the cashier tried to sell me memberships, and a branded credit card, which sounded like an investment scam. The line moved slower than a glacier in July. Never coming back also Manager needs to get a new hand so he can point correctly😂😂😂😂
