Today was the day i decided to up my cooler game. I was gifted a 20 oz Rambler tumbler a few years ago and while I never would have purchased it myself, it has totally changed my coffee drinking experience. It keeps my Java hot for as long as I need...usually not very long.
I went to the Washington Square location because I was checking to see if an online purchase could be picked up in store. Turns out it can't, but that didn't stop me. The store was a playground of tumblers, coolers, and accessories. I officially have a $200 lunchbox now. The dorm room fridge at my work is so small, i decided to buy the 8 can soft cooler as my portable lunchbox/refrigerator. I can put my drinks along with an ice pack or two and my beverages will stay cold without having to jam them in a cramped mini-fridge.
I also bought a 32 can rolling cooler for my upcoming pilgrimage to The Gorge to see Dave Matthews Band on Labor Day Weekend. It will allow me to bring all of my drinks and snacks I need to satisfy my munchies while I am there without having to worry about buying ice for $10/bag. After being lucky with a nice ice sharing neighborhood I will be able to pay it forward this year.
Finally the service was top notch. Not only did I receive free ice packs with my items. The sales person was nice enough to allow me to split my purchases individually and benefit with ice packs for both of them. I was very considerate...and she was training someone. So she was passing this excellent customer service concept to him as well. Now the price of the "Lunchbox" was $200, and the 32 can rolling cooler was $375. Not a small purchase, but seeing the quality, durability, and usefulness of the items, I had zero problem making these purchases today. Not to mention, the free ice packs I received probably had the value of close to $100+ at least. I am 100% satisfied with my purchases and look forward to repping YETI with read more
