    Sandra and the manager (whose name I cannot remember but I believe it started with a B) are great! They treated me with exceptional customer service when I had an issue with a coupon (that was no fault of their own) and made sure everything was squared away. They were incredibly friendly and able to help me get everything I needed in time for an upcoming trip. The staff here have always been incredibly knowledgeable and attentive to my needs. I always feel that I’m talking to an expert whenever I need help with what I need for a trip or more knowledge about a product.

    REI stands out for its community-focused approach to outdoor gear. The products are premium and built to last, with an unbeatable return policy. Staff members are true enthusiasts who give expert advice. Prices are on the higher side, but the member rewards and quality justify it. Pros: Expert staff, high-quality gear, great return policy. Cons: Expensive, fewer budget options. Overall: 9/10 — perfect for serious outdoor adventurers.

    It is so unfortunate that such a nice place that I used to love to go turn into a place that I DO NOT want to go anymore. I used to love this place and their products. Now, I have to sneak in and hide otherwise if someone catches me tries to sell me a membership. How many times and to how many people do I need to say NO? Can I just do my shopping comfortably and leave the store without being harassed??? How about instead of bothering people for the membership they give a better service??? Why they can’t just tell people about the membership benefits at the register only??? Even when I say “not today” for many times they don’t stop wasting my time. I AM LITERALLY SICK OF THIS! I hope I can get someone’s attention and they stop harassing people when they go there for shopping. I am done going there. I will go to WHOLE EARTH PROVINCE INSTEAD. Or I am sure there are other places like this
