It doesn't cost anything, really, to just do what's right. The time it takes to put a safety bevel on a lens is what... maybe 10 seconds ( on an easy job), and you can't tell me you can break that down to where it makes any financal difference.Originally Posted by loncoa
To me the "skill" crap you speak of make all the difference. This is what seperates us from the places that don't understand what craftsmanship is all about. This is what brings our customers back, regardless if we are in private practice or a chain enviornment. There is no way to replace skill, either you have it or you don't. Granted, I can teach what I know to a rookie, or somebody who thinks they know what they're doing, but you can't make them understand. Skill is what it's all about. Anybody can make/sell a pair of glasses, but ultimatley when you, the Optician, checks in the work.... do you know what it takes to make the glasses look and preform, are you able to do the little things that make the difference?
So the real question is what is skill. Is it just knowing what the basics are, or is it knowing more than that? This is the real question.
