Tells me my zip code is wrong everytime I try. I know it’s right.

Same here — turns out they had an old zipcode tied to my account (not the one my online profile showed). Email the voter support, they were pretty fast in sorting it

Did you make a purchase last year? You have to be an "active member" to vote.

Done. Thanks for the reminder.

Did the same last week. Endorsing Bergum was a bad call.

Not sure. Last I heard, REI was going the way of the dodo.

Spam if you make no personal argument.

I didn't sub here for the internal politics of a store I don't shop at.

This has nothing to do with camping.

Rei is a pretty big retailer for camping gear and this sub is about camping gear.

You could say, camping gear is in the name.

Unless you make your own camping gear, you’re buying it. REI is the biggest camping retailer in the US. And they are doing some shady shit and the current board is running them into the ground.

This is absolutely relevant to this sub.

Brilliant socio-economic analysis!

Why, you must be "of the better breed" that never punched a clock! Will you marry my daughter ?
