experience
Being very professional about it... I would make a copy of the
written laws
showing the legality of geocaching on each of the individual
lands (state
trust, forest, BLM, etc) and take those copies into REI. Ask
to talk to the
manager at that particular store. Tell the manager that you
brought your GPS
that you purchased at REI in for some troubleshooting.
While there, said
employee made some comments about your favorite hobby
and that those
comments kind of disturbed you. Then show the manager the
copies of the laws
and prove the employee's comments were wrong. Then
explain to the manager
that you don't feel their employee's should be
mis-representing the game of
geocaching. You might also mention that this
employee also said he goes out
and steals caches and throws them
away.
... you might also explain to the manager that there are many
other major
retailers of GPS's and outdoor supplies within a short drive
of any REI
store.
