Ok, I have never been to Neptune the store, let alone work there. Try objectively reading what is written at this site. Its funny, and sad that you're not open to other points of view and opinions because everyone here knows everything already.Quote:

BUT, like Trackhead, i'm outta here to go play in the snow.
Same here in about an hour, let's get together with Trackhead later and compare notes. Make a bet he uses one of those heart monitors?Quote:

I'm not convinced it is the employees doing the weak ass trolls. I mean no one is that dumb are they?Quote:

Clearly some of the posters are Neptune employees because they knew specific information about the incident that I didn't post. If this were mostly the work of random trolls, then why did the positive experience thread get deleted?Quote:

as far as I can tell these new asshats are here 2 ONLY talk about Neptune (I smell petuli wearing Neptune employees...)
by not stfu u guys bump up the tread....
on second thought carry on, I like a good BBQ more then the next guy, even if U climbers are kinda bony:FIREdevil
I just lurk. But the smartass, and obviously transparent, dick waving by SL and hothead is enough to make me never go there. Only a 3 block walk for me, too.
All that was needed was a level-headed "you only have one side of the story, here's the other," type of response. But apparently that was too much.
i am tempted to go in there after consuming a few beers at southern sun and upper decker neptune's shitter. or maybe trying on a few pairs of mountaineering pants and leave a present in one of the legs.
That's an unclever guess at the views of someone other than me, Mr Internet Shrink Genius.Quote:

The result should be that you find you mistakenly accuse me of something that isn't mine. If that's not your result, you're not even half as clever as you pretend.

Funny, I had a similar experience, except replace "Bent Gate" with "Neptunes" and "5 guys" with "Neptune's proclaimed bootfitter and completely clueless sales clerk. I was fitted only two shell sizes bigger than I should have been.Quote:

I don't understand how Neptune's can be completely oblivious to their reputation. This thread is not exactly news to many people. Outside Mag even jabbed at the store a couple years ago. Apparently the store can still function with the bad press, so maybe no one really cares.
If TGR and Epic both agree that a place is full of suck, they have to be pretty fucking full of suck.Quote:

WOW, Imagine that,what a coincidence!You just happened to "run across" this forum , you just "happened" to be in the shop that night,& you just "happened" to join up & post.What are the odds of that? Have you ever considered winning the Lottery 2 or 3 times a week? How long since you contracted the very rare & much coveted luck virus? Is it communicable?
Do they sell da Dukes?
Just want to say that I was in the store when adimmen came to pick me up. I was playing a little game with the sales guys and hid right behind them on a shelf. Pretty funny.
Anyway, adimmen is way out of line in his comments about how it all went down. Neptune's extremely qualified staff with years of experience and bunch of crap on the walls were more than helpful. Adimmen stuck his gaper, stinky ass front range poser feet in me and when the sales guy tried to check the fit, adimmen reached around and gave him the shocker. He then called his gaper ass front range poser friends on his cell phone to have a laugh about it. I get the impression they ski on water skis too.
I talked to some of my scarpa homeboys over at bent gate and the sales guys there have been hitting customers in the head with them when they walk in the door and ask for help. Apparently everyone who goes into bent gate gets aids too. There's also a little story about a dirty sanchez to some guy who came it asking for a binding adjustment. Having spent a little time at Neptune now, I can say this........they have a bunch of stuff on the walls, and you should spend lots of money there.
I do not in any way work for Neptune.....I just want to provide someone with a good fit. But I am WAY too stiff for a gaper ass front range poser like adimmen.......I have no idea why he'd even think he wanted a boot like me.
An even better alias than Marker Dukes.
I agree with the bro-core boot above.Quote:

Did you politely tell them to go F*ck themselves, or is that just for journalists?Quote:

I'm just saying these guys will probably thrive just as well without your business, so give it a rest and move on to the next flame war because this one is boring.
Neptune Mountaineering could stay in business alone by only selling carabiners to the CU students who don't climb but instead attach them to their backpacks. With a 'biner on your backpack and a North Face jacket, you too can be as hardcore as a Neptune Mountaineering employee.
Just posting to mark my place in this epic saga. Yes, I did read the whole thing.
And probably the best thing to come out of this is the R. Ski Emery alias. Strong work there, reminiscent of Mr. Pound Key (though not yet in the same league).
