Poor Jeff

At least you are the star of the optiboard and living in a southerly location you can pick the oranges, grapefruit, mangos and tomatoes of the trees in your backyard.

I can't believe that untill the '80's, groceries had two prices on them in U.S.A.!!!!!
Was this the 1880's
This country has been pretty backward untill recently but even here you wouldn't get away with that kind of discrimination.

If you're not getting paid enough and you are good at your job then demand a raise or you'll walk. Assuming you have somewhere to walk to.

Most practice owners want to pay as little as poss. for the best staff poss. Force their hand!

Just to put my two cents in. I worked with Dr. Mcmahon back in the late 80's and early 90's and you won't find a better Dr. to work for. he is fair and pays well. If you are looking for a great place to work and a wonderful state (NH) to live in, get in touch with him. A retired optician after 44 years in the best profession in the world.

Funny Bill, I'm from Derry, Northern Ireland originaly. I'm assuming thats where your town got its name?

[Bill Swain]

I think you have that right. Have lived in Derry for the last 7 years. Was born in Philadelphia, PA.

I hope after all this advice you have a number. I say add a bunch to that. Aim high. If you are applying to an OD add more. They are already taking enough from Opticians. Get what you can when you can.
