Some days I just wish I was a little less honest... sort of anyway. Had a customer pick up a pair of glasses today, and when it came time to pay their $2 copay they started to pull out $200. I was all "no no ma'am it's $2." and she responded that she knew, "see, $200" as she counts out $20 bills. OMG, with someone this confused I probably could have had $198 in my pocket...
*sigh*
can someone make me just a little less honest? just for a few hours? or at least make the crazy people go away?

Love is a duet, each voice complementing each other and making them sound better than they would alone, each voice at times stepping back and letting the other shine. We've got a pretty good duet going Tina.
On April 28th, I'll be marrying my best friend. I can't wait!
My standard policy is to refuse/explain twice. On the third time, its all yours! Tips, copays, etc...
A fool and his money...
A lack of planning on your part DOES NOT constitute an emergency on mine!
You probably won't get rich. And I can't say the the doctors will increase sending you work for being an honest optician. But stay that way, we are all too rare.

Be thankful that your crazy people try to over pay. Ours just cause a scene. One young lady just said that the doctor got too close to her when he inserted a CL. She was here for a CL fitting. Maybe we should just throw the lens at her from across the room? We keep the door half way open just so patients cannot claim impropriety. Our doctor has 40 years experience and never a complaint of this nature. I guess this girl thinks she's somebody and everybody wants her. I should have explained that we see many women who are far prettier than her and still no complaints.
that would be DC medicaid, and believe me they all think that its their discounted rate for glasses - bah, explaining that it is a copay is a pain in the rump.
yes, yes you should have - i would have paid good money to hear her reaction

No wonder my tax bill is so high. :(
