[Az-Geocaching] REI experience

[Crystal Hinkle]

I just talked to the manager, Tim.  He said that he appreciated the call and
that he will find out what happened and counsel the employee.  He was very
happy that I had called to let them know because that is definitely not the
image they want to portray about Geocaching.  FYI, this is the Tempe
location, and it sounds like they definitely want to keep us as customers.

I think before we boycott the store, we should give the manager a chance to
respond.  I have already passed the name on to Shadowace to get to his
buddy.  I'll let you all know what the manager says.  Thanks!!

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.

Find out which REI he works at. :) At the very least, unless something 
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.
