REI is a fun place to go but I look at it more like a mall where the people watching is good. If I need to buy something I likely wouldn't go to the REI stor ebut instead would look online where the selection is better and you don't have to wait inline for 15 minutes. I'd love to see REI move to an Apple store model where you could check out with any associate rather than being wrangled like cattle in a line at the front of the store.
