About half of my 1 year olds will respond to seasonal changes. It's possible to continue with the erratic feeding patterns or, if the snake is healthy, cool him/her for a couple of months. Pretty much your choice here.
Yes, kings will certainly brumate and next year, I'd just plan on the snake shutting down in October/November/December.
The pet store advice was not out of line, 80 degrees is a comfortable temp (night time cooling is up to you, I skip it) and for cooling 60/70 is fine, with 60/65 for breeding purposes.
