    Went to Reno REI due to my usual store not having HOKAS in my size in stock. I was looking for HOKA Trail shoes. Middle aged, short wiry employee standing around doing nothing in shoe dept. I had to ask him for assistance. I showed him my old pair of HOKAS that I was looking for a replacement. He said he had never seem them before. So I picked out a few different shoes to try on. He offered no assistance in helping me select shoes, offered zero advice. My sister was also with me looking to buy hiking shoes too. He treated her the same way. He seemed bored, disinterested. I selected a 200 dollar pair of shoes. The only time he perked up was when he was trying to sell me an REI Membership, which I didn’t buy. They guy who checked me out was like a Zombie. He said he couldn’t wait to get out of there, complained their device to play music in store was broken. Overall a crap customer service experience. I thought about it when I got home, went back the next day, and returned shoes. Went to Reno Running store, they actually helped me select some new HOKAS, imagine that! REI will not be making any money off me in the future— ever!

    I called the ski shop beforehand to ask if they could mount my skis. Drove one hour there, dropped off my skis and then waited around because they said they could get it done the same day. Only after waiting for two hours, they said they didn't have the part available to get the job done. Nothing about the part was mentioned at check-in. It was a waste of time.
