REI hippie guy working the cash register, wearing the Obama button pinned to his stupid shirt: “Okay. So that’ll be $83.77.”
me: “Cool! $41.89 it is.”
REI hippie guy working the cash register, wearing the Obama button pinned to his stupid shirt: “Sir?”
me: “No need to be all formal, brother. Classless society and all that.”
me: “– Oh, and thanks for picking up your share of the cost for my new shit. Good thing at least one of us has a job I guess, right?”
That was nice of you to even offer the $41.89. Trouble is that only works for some
pigspeople.REI hippies are why I shop at Cabelas. Those REI hippy types fear the boomstick almost as much as they fear deoderant.
Cabelas and Bass Pro Shop have better prices than REI and those other hippie outdoor stores ta boot.
And I have never run into Michael Moore in Cabelas or Bass Pro Shops.
And that is a good thing.
Oh, and Fuck Michael Moore.
Nothing wrong with REI, so long as you shop the season-end clearance sales. Besides, I’ve found Boundary Waters and bicycling stuff in there that I just couldn’t find at Cabela’s.
Why limit yourself to just one toy store?
Too cerebral, he’d never get it.
I’m not necessarily knocking REI, just REI hippies –I don’t like Eddie Bauer yuppies either. In fact, my hikers are Lowa’s from REI, although I’m seriously considering the Meindl’s at Cabelas when the soles wear out.
If I needed cycling stuff, I’d go to Scheel’s. What could you possibly need for the Boundary Waters that you couldn’t find at Cabela’s? Just outta curiousity.
Cabela’s rulz.
REI is a great place to meet cool girls though. They’re all about bouncing around outdoors in tight shorts.
… and voting for Obama, of course. There’s always a trade-off somewhere.
Alas I’m too old and married to be bouncing bouncy outdoor girls anymore, however tight are their tight shorts.
Gander Mtn.
They got AR15s n stuff.
an beef jerky.
Nothing worse than a Slim Jim fart. Those suckers could power a small electrical grid for days…
Environmental problems solved one Slim Jim at a time…
I avoid Slim Jims — they’re not real jerky anyway.
Gotta have Jack Link’s.
I sense an exciting new investment opportunity for carbon-credit traders.
If an outdoor ‘recreational’ sports store doesn’t sell guns and ammo, I won’t give ’em my business. Bass Pro has everything I need, thanks!.
Actually, you should only be paying the co-pay, which is 10% of the negotiated reimbursement. So you owe $4.19, and they should just submit the bill for the rest to the government.
