I started my day with a phone call from this really nasty cheap woman. The family just started their 2 week vacation on Natucket Island and the husband forgot to pack his contacts and he lost his others while swimming in the Atlantic. She asked if i would ship a pair of free trials to hold him over until they got home and he could order some from 1 800 contacts ( you just can't make this stuff up) At this point, I am thinking that the odds of finding his contacts in the ocean are FAR greater than my shipping some freebies.
I was only somewhat polite when I informed her that if she ordered a 6 month supply I would ship them via Airborn and they would have them tomorrow. I also explained that our prices for a 6 month supply are only 16.00 higher than 1 800 ,but she would only order them if I would match their price. When I stopped laughing, I told her that I could not change the price.
BTW... His rx is OD -5.50 OS -6.50 and he did not bring his glasses.
She called back 10 minutes later and asked what is the least amount she could buy... when I told her 2 boxes she hung up on me.
She called again and said she would buy 1 box if I would ship overnight at no extra charge. Thank God that it is unlikely that the husband will need to drive a car on Nantucket. Like I said you cannot make this stuff up.
