    Went to the store today to have my new snowboard bindings installed (both purchased at REI). As it's my first pair of Supermatic bindings, I wanted the shop to install them, especially since they advertise a reduced rate. I brought my boots, but the employee said they weren't needed for the installation. This was unusual, as other shops always require boots to check for heel/toe drag. I explained that Supermatic bindings require adjustments to ensure proper boot clipping, but the employee said they only do "straightforward" installs after speaking with a tech. I miss Helm in Santa Cruz; they were much more knowledgeable. The REI store is a bike, ski, and snowboard repair center, but I only saw one set of skis that had been worked on. Perhaps selling bindings that the store isn't familiar with isn't recommended. I left with my gear.

    This is the third time I have been into this location and had a negative experience with the associate named Kira. Normally I am not the type to call out hardworking employees by name but it seems her harassment of members is allowed to go unchecked by management. I do not want the Mastercard and should be able to shop for my gear without feeling stalked by an employee who wants me to sign up! It should be noted that Kira is the only employee I’ve had this negative experience with, the rest of the staff is great.

    I just had one of the worst return experiences of my life at this store. The staff member working with the incompetent employee didn't even step in to help her when she kept making mistake after mistake. I was so frustrated by the time she finished that I went to Big 5 for what I needed instead. It's a shame because I was helped by Bobby the previous day and he was amazing. I won't be returning after my experience.
