[Az-Geocaching] REI experience

Yes, I think a boycott of the store, with a call to the manager for the reason why, would be good. I think passing the guy's name to Shadowace's buddy would be good too.

is done about it by the manager, it can become a business formally 
boycotted by cachers, who as I recall, are quite the outdoor enthusiast 
in a number of instances.

Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking
 
Till a voice, as bad as Conscience, rang interminable changes
  On one everlasting Whisper day and night repeated -- so:
"Something hidden.  Go and find it. Go and look behind the Ranges --
  "Something lost behind the Ranges. Lost and waiting for you. Go!"

 

Rudyard Kipling ,   The Explorer  1898
