Did you try talking to them about anything actually related to bicycles?
Say bikes, or components, or brake pads?
I confess I've only been riding for 30-some years, and it's been a while
since I rode even 10,000 miles in a year, but all I could tell you about
Cytomax or Endurox is that they both taste foul to me. Couldn't really
tell you anything about cycling socks, I've never owned any.
Anyway, I'm sure they can brush up on industry hype reading Buycycling
when store traffic gets slow, and soon they'll be bull****ting with the
best of them, pushing products they don't understand to consumers who
don't really need them.
