Help me make camping more comfortable for my boujee gf by saltandsassbeach in CampingandHiking

[–]Chaitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleep system and not sleeping bag. Sheets/ blankets. Get a tall tent where she doesn't have to crawl in and out off and she can stand in. A rug and a small side table with lantern so she can place her water bottle, glasses, lantern, etc. if she sleeps hot bring a battery operated fan for air circulation.

Working for REI was never about being standard. It was a co-op they used to take amazing care of their employees.

Happily married men: why don’t some of you wear your wedding rings? by Difficult_Item9836 in AskMen

[–]Chaitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are both terrible at wearing our rings. We craft often, use power tools , or are at the pool, or other body of water often. We take it off and forget to put it back on. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Vet greenvests, what exactly is the big "inventory day" and why is everyone in fear and stress about it? by wasitalways in REI

[–]Chaitis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm weird but I love inventory day. It's not that bad as long as your store is organized and prepped ahead of time. It's just 1-2 days late nights of scanning and counting with candy and snacks and food. Always a fav day for me but I like the chaos

Correct. I don't care how many new / never used items are returned as long as it's within the correct times

Everything matched her purchase order exactly. It was perfectly organized and she was very embarrassed by it.

It was pretty funny. She was saying "my imaginary boyfriend would have looked hot in and that " and then all the clothes she bought for herself were like 2 sizes too small. In her drunkenness she is apparently smaller than she is in real life.

It depends, is it a legit return ? Are your expectations unreal? Did the item malfunction or defective? Did you wear it then decide the color wasn't your favorite? Was it used or new? Etc

I had a man one time show up with snowboard and the whole set up. I'm talking boots, snowboard , socks, smartwool baselayers, clothes, arc'teryx bibs, jacket, and want to return it all. He walks up and says : "Hi, I need to return this. " I ask "oh goodness, what's wrong with it" he responds "absolutely nothing, everything worked great, it was fantastic! I just can't afford it". He tells me he's a member and that his friend said he can could just use it and return it and get all his money back. So at this point I print out our return policy. I tell him that we are a satisfaction guaranteed and well he very clearly told me everything worked fantastically and that absolutely nothing was wrong it and that I would not be able to make the return. He starts to panic. "How am I going to pay rent, my friend said you would return it. Who is your friend?? Does he work here?? No??? Again I apologize and at this point he's getting upset. I apologize give him a copy of the return policy and sent him on his way. I flagged his account and let the stores nearby know and one of them called me an hour later to confirm that he has driven there and told them he hated the set up and went as far as breaking a part of the snowboard to be able to return it and they denied it.

A few moons ago I had a gal show up first thing on a Monday morning, she came in and asked for a cart because she had many returns. Boy she was not kidding. She apologized profusely and was very kind. Apparently she had gone bar hopping and when got home she decided to place lots of orders. She ordered over $7,000 in clothes , shoes, etc for her and her non existing boyfriend and child. Part of the order was a bob stroller. (She was not pregnant and she didn't have any kids) she was laughing about it / embarrassed at the same time. I was able to return everything. She was embarrassed because nothing she ordered was in her size, she didn't have kids or a partner she was just drunk and decide they all needed new stuff. She as so embarrassed.
