The store selection was good, but the checkout experience was terrible. There was only one very young girl working the register. When I put my items on the counter, she just stood there staring at me without scanning anything. I had to explicitly tell her, 'Ma'am, I'm ready to be served. You can start scanning my stuff.' She began scanning quietly, but when she finished, she just piled all my items on top of each other. I had to ask her twice for a bag because she ignored me the first time. When she finally grabbed one, she threw my things into the bag in a very messy, careless way and handed it to me. No 'hello,' no 'goodbye,' no 'thank you for shopping,' and no 'have a great day.' Nothing. I walked out feeling very bitter about how I was treated. Good products, but the customer service at the front needs major improvement." Cashier's name was Emilets.

I love shopping at REI. They have such great stuff. I was at REI today and I saw a top that I…read moresimply feel in love with. So cute. I had to stay in line so I wouldn't buy it as I really don't need more clothing. I am such a shopper and keep buying new clothing all the time. Earlier in this week I went shopping with my girlfriend and came home with a Oakland A's T-shirt and a dress. I now have enough dress that I can wear a new one every Sunday to church for 3 months. And as for tops. I have so many of them. Just 2 weeks again I was sporting my REI pants. You know those hiking kind that are light weight and zip off to make them into shorts. It was perfect for our service project of moving bark in a local park. I love the clothing I buy at REI they are functional and cute. One of my favorite sweaters is from REI. It's a rust colored sweater that is tight weave so it keeps me tasty warm. I do have to admit that I find REI to be pricy, but the quality lives up to their reputation, and the return policy is amazing .In addition if you are a member shipping is free. I am a fan of shopping on line so they have their hooks in me. My last shopping spree was on a quest for finding the best compression socks for traveling. I'm planning on 20 hour Amtrak trip and have read that if you sit for long periods of time while traveling compression socks can help. I'm not familiar with compression socks. There are so many different types of compression socks available. It's hard to choose the best ones. And the price range and styles really vary. While at REI last month I saw some being sold and I trust REI so I thought I'd buy a pair. But, due to the price I wasn't ready to take the plunge. In store they sell Sockwell brand socks for around $32.95. Quite pricy in my mind. I went online and check out my options and they had last year's model for only $23.93. Not a lot as starting from over $23, but still a savings of $9.02. Better than nothing. I can't believe how expensive compression socks are. I bought one pair online and they arrived. Then I realized that two pairs would be better so I can wear one in each direction in the trip and I wouldn't have to hand wash them. This is a total splurge as lots of people handwashing while on vacation. In the end I bought a 2nd pair online, a different color, but the same style of socks. Shipping was free and I got the same $9.02 discount. Then I got a coupon in the mail, $10 off of a $50 purchase so I needed to use it. So I rebought the socks grabbbed a third pair to get it up to the $50 ($56.58) range thus the 3rd third pair only costs $10, what a deal. Not that I need the 3rd pair. The only time I plan on wearing these when I travel so it's not like they are going to wear out. I'm too much into a bargain. You now probably want to know how they are working out for me. To be honest it's summer and between mid 80's to over 100 so I haven't had a chance to try them out. I know to bad. I only washed one pair so I can still try them on and figure out if I want to keep the other 2 pairs. I can always return them if the one pair doesn't work out for me. That's what I love about REI, they have such a great return policy.

The person on the phone was polite and articulate to answer what I needed. The person even remembered me when I came in the store. Very rare to get this type of service. I am assuming the bad reviews are people who were educated and felt horrified about their lack of knowledge. Gun culture is an educated culture, be prepared to learn or abide by the safety standards and rules that adhere to them. Inside the store was clean and spacious areas. The department I needed was the firearms section, which was at the far end of the shop. That being said they have a wide collection of what I say good ammo that you can rely on for self-defense. What I can also say is that they do not gouge you on prices. The prices are well within reason, and they are updated ammunition. By updated I mean that they have different casings for those who know that grains and bullet type matter. That being said, getting plinking ammunition is a good to go here. You can trust the brands they have in stock and the staff for the firearms department is knowledgeable and friendly. Keep in mind the long wait is due to either education, or the long lengthy checks to get said items. That being said, pay your taxes, pay your registration fees, do your due diligence and you're out and about easy. I may bring in my gun to get checked by their smith. But TBH American Made Baretta 9mm FS is the far superior choice than the mass produced m9 and Italian made one. I don't think I need a service on my weapon in quite some time. Do your research, some things made in America, is better and not well advertised. This goes for the ammunition as well. To the dude who helped me. Thank you, man. Thank you for your service as well. Representing Americans to the finest quality one can hope for. Thank you.

Sir, the way you run a business is to stay open during business hours. He was rude, dismissive and unappreciative of my business. You will never get another dime from me. And based on the other reviews, I imagine this business is regularly losing customers because of poor customer service.

There has not been one visit where someone has not come up to me and asked if I needed help. That in itself is impressive. Unless there is a sale going on things are pricey in my opinion. But as they say you get what you pay for. I did buy a pair of Hoka walking shoes last year and they have held up wonderfully and are so comfortable. All in all, I highly recommend Dick's Sporting Goods for having plenty of inventory and wonderful service. They definitely have you covered.

So grab a ticket and look around. So much stuff to look at. Just in the gun section was ammo, magazines, parts and so much more. It really is a nice store. I only waited a few minutes and my number was called. It was pretty busy since it was a Saturday. The guy had to look for the rifle I wanted but I told them it was in stock since I had called earlier. He found it in the back and it was on sale. Great price. SO the paperwork is standard to purchase a firearm but each store takes their time so as not to make any mistakes. The process here was pretty fast compared to other dealers. I was happy. I will definitely be watching their sales to get some good deals on merchandise. Good service here.

To get the rest of my paperwork done for my new FSC card, and to start the DROS process to get my new firearm after the wait period.

As far as firearms, while waiting to complete the DROS, I noticed Turner's seemed to have a good selection of pistols and long guns.
