If that were true, why are the same people bashing LC for making so much money also deriding the "unqualified" opticians LC hires for theoretically preventing LC from making any money?
Actually they do not make more money, but they can give a professional service, which brings customers back because of the quality service received.

These people are bashing LC because it is basically practising unfair competition and that is because the largest frame manufacturer owns LC and practises vertical integration which means that Lux and LC takes all the profit from the factory to the delivery, while the retail end stage is conducted by stylist's that are paid less than a qualified optical professional.

LC is not theoreticall making less money...........they are actually a higher percenatge of mgross profits tha an independent ever can.
