Yes, it's a small thing, but it drives me nuts.

LOL, what drives me more nuts is the "loose" or "looser" rather than
"lose" or "loser."

How many normal people actually have unresolved problems with REI? They
seem to go far beyond what would normally be expected of a store in
regards to returns.

Hence the nickname "Return Every Item". My own experience is that, if
you know what you're looking for, you can get consistently good deals
without having to chase all over town (or all over the internet, if
you're doing mail order). Their mail order operation is excellent. The
store staff are quite accommodating about things like special orders and
holding items for longer than is really reasonable. Product knowledge
varies quite a bit from store to store and employee to employee, but the
employees are consistently very good about referring you to someone with
a little more expertise instead of feeding you a line of bull****. This
alone puts them far ahead of most outdoor shops. All things considered,
I think the $2 that I spent to join back in 1977 or so was money well spent.

discounts
Snot a Visa card, itsa RE! Visa card for RE!'s bank. RE! is owned by a
bank masqueraiding as Visa.

WTF? My local REI, which is unfortunately in a strip mall in an icky
"new-money" part of town, is pretty spectacular. I can order online,
and pick stuff up at the store in a couple days. Shoot the last time I
picked something up the girls is like, "What's you're name" and I
reply, "Max---" and before I could finish my last name she had the box
in my arm. I swear they gottem on crystal over there.

The only beef I have with them is that they only sell cable housing in
20' lengths-which is pretty odd.

That is odd, because at all the ones I've been to here (Downtown
Seattle, Alderwood/Lynnwood, Redmond) I've been able to buy it by the
foot.

Not particularly, it's neither clever nor shocking. It's about on the
level with my three year old's humour.
