I love REI and go there whenever I can. Their sales are fabulous, but you have to contend with crowds. Even with the crowds, the line to check out usually moves quickly since they have all registers open. The staff is always cheerful, and are especially helpful in helping you buy the product that is right for you. This location is the best by far, but it is also the biggest, so perhaps I am biased.
