to work 10 or 15 hours a week to get the 50% discount.. the pay is not the important thing here.

I think you meant "wayer" ahead.

And what exactly is wrong with being forced to hang out with young attractive hiker chicks, getting stuff 1/2 price and, and I say, being renumerated to the tune of eight smackers per hour??

Then your labor you "spent" at REI is worth $4.17/hour ($1000 save / 240 hours). So your total "pay" is $8 + $4.17 = ~ $12 per hour.
Course, the 4.17 is income tax-free. Except you pay sales tax. Which if you are married is still better than the probably 25% income tax rate. If single you are probably in the 0 or 10% tax bracket.
Or... you could get a job that pays more than $12/hour, and buy stuff at the normal 10% discount, or stuff on sale, and end up way ahead than working at REI. |

I wanted to add, I work for myself and have lots of free time on my hands I quite frankly would love to escape the house to hang around people , get that employee discount and a little spending cash.
