Never seen so much hard coreness in one place than the Maggots. Just kidding. These pansies wouldn't last a day in a climbing forum.Quote:

Doesn't sound like it. Apparently he got kicked out of a shop that could have made the sale of some $800 boots.Quote:

I've met him and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't want his life's work associated with this kind of jackassery.
Andy: call, ask for Gary, and relate your story. $100 says shit hits the fan.
Nice thread. I've never been to Neptune Mountaineering, but do plan on moving to the area end of 2008.... and I can say because of this thread I'll never step foot in that store.
You neptune employees can spam all you want, theres enough legit negative experiences within this thead to convince anyone there money is better spent elsewhere.
So he was buying boots for $800? Holy shit, and is making a big deal about it? Holy trust fund batman! Sounds like a spoiled kid didn't get his way and had a melt down. Boo Hoo.Quote:

Even after you have repeatedly attacked my friends, my family, and every aspect of my person, I held back this information and will continue to do so. That's the difference between you and me: I'm not a classless degenerate who has to attack others to prop himself up.Quote:

I've gotten some attitude at other stores, but still go there to shop and hang around as well. One time a guy was just pissed off at Bent Gate because the power breaker wouldn't reset and the lights were all off in the back. Bad day, so he was a little snippy. Big deal. Usually the employee I have an unpleasant time with is gone from any particular store in a year or so.
But dude, the ketchup idiot over at the Southern Sun tonight has to go. Ban his ass from that place. No shit, this old gray haired guy was squeezing the ketchup bottle to be funny and show off. He got it all over my friend's leather jacket at the bar. The hostess cut his party off from the beer and they left. Unfuckingbelievable.
Add him to ignore list.Quote:

I have been in there and have gotten attitude sometimes and other times have been fine.
I sure hope Neptune upper management chimes in on this. Whether SL and the others agree or not, this can't be good for business.
Now you can all get back to your pissing match. I'll keep checking back to see if Neptune offically responds.

How am I making things worse for Nuptune pointing out that some of you are assholes?Quote:

Look pal, I'm new to posting here on TGR, but long before I registered I lurked and have followed many of these "assholes" threads and posts and have been on teletips and splitboard.com for a while. We are all assholes at different times, and in my opinion you (SL) have been nothing but a dick around here at the very least. These ""assholes" you refer to often contribute some great TR's and being an asshole is more of a humor thing around here than an actual insult, and if you don't get that then I'm not sure you need to be here. And you briging Adimimmen's family into this is bush-league, period. Attack him if you want, but that is weaksauce doing what you did. With the way some of this is going down I don't think I need to be here. Not in this thread anyway.Quote:

Again, good luck to you all on this.
I'm going back over to look at Trackheads and the others TR posts.

Just here to pad my post count and be a part of maggot history.
SL, I dunno if you are just a troll or whatever. Either way you are a cool guy and I really hope that I can ski with you one day. Anyone that makes 60 posts in a few days has to be a totally awesome dude to hang out with. Have a totally awesome day bro.
Bringing in Admin's family, what, when? I don't know the guy, except from what he wrote here.Quote:

Not as awesome and cool as making a scene when paying $800 for boots at Neptune ski shop.Quote:

As I understand it there are responses from employees of my shop. Skimming I am unable to tell who is who since there are no names I would recognize.
I am at a loss. I would like to do whatever I can to make this right. Adimen I invite you to come in and see me personally. The service you received is UNACCEPTABLE. I would like to hear your story personally, and I would like to know who gave you this exchange as action most certainly will be taken.
I would like to offer you a discount on the purchases you made, and I hope this will make you feel better, and in some way right a wrong. Also, with every business there is an owner. If you are ever disappointed with service, and a manager is not helping you in a way you feel is acceptable, go over their head. If the very top link of the chain does not do anything to make your experience better then either you are out of line, or the business is doomed. Neptune Mountaineering, I thought has survived because the people performed a service. Insulting and banning customers was never one of the services I remember providing. I implore you to come back and allow me to make the situation right. This offer is extended to anyone else who feels they have been wronged, and if there are 500 of you please allow some time as I don't know how to correct all of the problems at once, but rest assured I WILL MAKE IT RIGHT!
With this said I am going to continue reading, and hopefully get an idea for the gravity of the situation.
Gary Neptune owner/founder/enthusiast
I think I've figured it out. Adimmen and SL (and the other dec-07 aliases) are one-in-the-same. Adimmem just REALLY wants to make Neptune look bad.
GENIUS I say! I like your work! :biggrin:
Gary if this is really you:Quote:

thanks for posting gary.
When has this ever happened? Every regularly posting maggot I've ever met I would trust to stay at my house while I was gone if they needed a place to crash, lend them my car if they needed to get somewhere, whatever because almost everyone on here is a good person who just likes to ski and talk about skiing all day. The only real assholes here are the douche-nozzles like you who come in here and stir shit up to make us look bad. Go away, maggots are and will continue to be good people without you.Quote:

Good luck with figuring this out. Thats a lot of bad press but certainly not the end of the world. Some constructive criticism taken to heart and it could turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to your business. Just make sure you read through some of the bandwagon and get to the real issues. The guys who are claiming to be your employees, may or may not actually be, so rushing to judgement doesn't sound fair.Quote:

Found this at another website:
Worst service EVER. AND, the "help" are a bunch of jerks. See this review I found with, LITERALLY, hundreds of BAD experiences at this crap hole in Boulder (SL, jwolter7, and Headcase22 were later proven to be employees page 17-ish...
This a good example how the maggots lie. This asshole thinks that it was proved that I and others work for Neptune. This of course did not happen. Gary, if you are there, this is an example of how the maggots are, they make shit up and hope it sticks.
Its only bad press in your eyes and for the maggots who should be thinking of the consequences.Quote:

However if that was Gary Neptune posting.....here here
Way to step up finally.
No, the moral of the story is that many maggots are assholes with some who like to make a scene when they buy their $800 boots. At least according to Google.Quote:

Adimmen, why not call the shop and verify that the owner made this post. Talk to him in person and get it worked out. If this is really him I bet he lays down a lose the attitude policy with the hired help.Quote:

And just a suggestion for anyone else that encounters a situation like adimmen, go straight to the business owner, 99.9% of the time they'll make it right for you.
Just my 2 cents.
Tree fort what?Quote:
