Dear Og, Universe, Fate, etc…

Thanks for the nice lady at REI who applied the “20% off one full-priced item for each REI Member” discount when I decided to exchange the backpack I’d ordered last week (when there wasn’t a 20% off sale).

The one I ordered arrived today, but when I went to the store to try it on, it was too big. So I approached the Customer Service desk determined to fork over another $30 to upgrade to the higher-end model that fit me.

It isn’t often you end up with a $30 refund for upgrading.

Dontcha just love REI? Sometimes you can get stuff cheaper elsewhere, but the selection at REI is just the best, and when they have sales, you can get some great deals.
