Randomguy Posted December 18, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) I got an early Christmas gift, a fancy-pants vest, I need the next size down. I called the local REI store to verify they had my size for an even exchange, they said they aren't doing crap for me because my parents aren't members and didn't buy it under a membership, then they said "fuck you, and everyone you know". Since I know you people, I figured you would be as outraged as I am. I would recommend that you shop elsewhere if you are buying gifts for other people, or even yourself. Screw REI, they are on the shit list now. Edited December 18, 2015 by Randomguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokey Posted December 18, 2015 Share #4 Posted December 18, 2015 While REI has some great and nifty stuff, damn, they are expensive. Membership or not. And the idiot scrawny millenials that work there with the man-bun kinda thing going on really annoy me. I always leave a half smoked cigar in those stores when I need to stop in for something. Pisses them off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I forgot that he was working there, maybe he can come to my rescue. My parents are older, and my mom is pretty fragile from all she went through from the leukemia, so of course I told them I loved the vest. No way in hell I am asking them for the receipt. REI is going to have a real mess on their hands immediately after Christmas this year, they are gonna see hundreds of thousands of scenarios like this, and pissed off people don't come back so much.
