Are people who work in the optical department actually Costco employees? I thought they outsourced the optical department?

Are people who work in the optical department actually Costco employees? I thought they outsourced the optical department?
This thread seems to be morphing from aghast at patients bypassing B&M opticials to buy frames online at discounted prices (or having the nerve to ask local opticals for a discount), to now...
B&M chain opticals, and some independents, regularly have sales that offer 50% second pair of glasses. Has nothing to do with online retailers.

If someone asks an optician whether they will match the online price of a frame, the optician should respond that no, they cannot match it, but maybe will give them a discount halfway between online...
I think that is a mistake. Just tell them you will need to charge them more than the online price (for reasons you should be able to explain), but give them some discount from list price (maybe split...
Midas Muffler or a new car dealer may not do it, but I guarantee there are plenty of other independent shops who will do it, and I would not characterize them as "shade tree." Besides, I would much...
Not sure what you mean. Online Frame Stores have B&M operations or warehouses.
I do believe it is appropriate for the shop that does the fitting and adjustment on a frame purchased elsewhere to...
You are right about the delish part, but too many carbs for me compared the much thinner Tortilla Land tortillas.
I think the "online" vs B&M label is a red-herring. What if someone placed a phone call to the frame store that happened to have a webpage (just like you would with most plumbers). Would you actually...
See if you can find some Tortilla Land raw flour tortillas at a grocery store (http://www.tortillaland.com/Find-a-Store). Need to dust them with corn meal on the bottom so they will slide on to a...
Somehow this discussion has become focused on either price-matching online sites for frames, or selling at list price. There are other options which will usually result in a satisfied customer such...
The chances of any kind of requirement like that for B2B reps are nil. For example, pharmaceutical company reps who deal with medical doctors and pharmacies are not certified in their field.
Really? What brands are you talking about?
I don't think you have to match the online price, but you might need to be a bit more competitive and give them some discount. I am not so sure about the idea that online selection or inventory is...
Poly gets the rap it deserves. I just read the DiSanto article, and all that math is very nice and all, but I personally experienced horrendous chromatic aberration with polycarb in the reading area...
Essilor has been pushing polycarb for so long that many ECP's people are brainwashed, or have just been intimidated into submission by Essilor. It has only been relatively recently that Essilor made...
That is true, but charging patients for one brand/model lens but actually supplying them with a less expensive brand/model lens, has nothing to do with opticianry regulation. It is simple commercial...
Baiting and switching is usually the description of advertising one price, and then when customer gets into the store, up-selling them something else at a higher price by convincing them they need to...
I think you are correct (often included for no extra charge in Europe and Japan). Back when Zeiss Individual sold in the US was only made in Germany, it included Carat Advantage at no extra charge....

This thread was dead for 8 years until you revived it, and now see what happened when you did that !!!
VT would definitely be preferable, but need a diagnosis first. I don't believe that the particular neuro-ophthalmologist selected is going to recommend surgery if there is any chance that VT is an...
Thank you for the reply. My understanding is that patient (not my patient) has had a prism to resolve double vision which worked well for a number of years, and experienced renewed intermittent...
I take my lenses off every time I open a hot oven. I suspect that over time, blasts of 400 F air are not going to be good for the AR coat.
