    I recently started shopping REI and becoming a member. The staff is amazing and the phone customer service is the best. I was placing an order and the representative offered me the sale price coming up in three days. They will definitely see a lot more of me.

    Asked an employee for help with finding a product. He said no. I don't know who is training employees here but not helping customers is wild.
