    I love the stores, and have shopped here for a while. Have membership and Mastercard with REI. This store in particular has the worst employee customer service attitude or worst positive customer facing demeanor. I’ve used the store in Washington, Texas, Florida, Illinois. I’ve never had such poor customer service than this store. Don’t waste time coming to this store.
