The answer is there are several things that could cause that....

That sounds like Walmart to me.
It was always too busy, too understaffed, and too sales driven.

Good Luck to you. Study as much as you can on your own time. You may motivate others to do the...

I have to say that I managed a WM store for 5 years, simply because there was NO OTHER place hiring in town. I had been unemployed for 6 months. That's the longest I'd ever been without work.

Art Optical is in Grand Rapids, MI - wonderful people. I saw the entire process and I'm amazed. I'm also impressed that they made me a 10 lens aphakic fitting set in less than 24 hours.

While I disagree with duplicating Rx's except in extreme circumstances, I am thankful for everyone's posts on the subject.

I've always understood that if you decide to duplicate an Rx you assume...

Who said he was uncorrected?

You wouldn't feel any sense of liability if a -13.00 myope came in who hadn't had an exam in 6 years, claiming they saw fine and just wanted a new pair of glasses?
