    The employee who was returning our items was being very rude and disrespectful. Saying things like “I asked you what was wrong with it, not why you are returning it.” Just had a very rude and sour attitude. Might have been an off da, but saying “finally” after finishing our return is not a very friendly way to service people. Sameer, do better.

    This store has become very disorganized recently because the new manager clearly does not know what he is doing. He always looks extremely busy, but things are not actually improving. The store itself is great, and I really appreciate the long-time staff members—they are always helpful and kind. However, the Asian female manager has been a serious problem. Her attitude is very poor, and she even gives the impression of being racially biased. She seems unwilling to help us, and at times it feels like she is purposely making things difficult. It is important to note that this is a community with a large Asian population. As an Asian manager, she should be supportive and respectful toward Asian customers, yet she does the opposite. Her behavior is disappointing and unacceptable. I hope the store will seriously address these issues and improve the management situation.

    REI is always a good place, if a little pricey.

    REI is fantastic for all things outdoor! I recently got a Gregory backpack from them, and I absolutely love it—super comfortable and perfect for my hiking adventures. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable, helping me find exactly what I need. Their selection of high-quality gear from top brands is unbeatable, and I appreciate their focus on sustainability. The member perks are a great bonus too! Highly recommend REI for anyone gearing up for the outdoors!
