Women walks in to ABC Optical asking about ready-made readers. She is looking to buy (but actually just inquiring about) some readers because she is at work and needs to see.
So it begins ...
Lady: Where are your reading glasses? You know ... the ones that you could try on and see.
Opti: Okay. You are looking for some of our ready-made readers.
Lady: yea, those
Opti: Do you know the strength you normally use?
Lady: No
Opti: Do you have a copy of your previous prescription?
Lady: No
Opti: So, we need to schedule you for an exam so that we can get a prescription for you.
Lady: I don't need an exam. I just want to see.
Opti: I would be more than happy to assist you but if you don't know your strength and you don't have a prescription, I wouldn't be able to assist you.
Lady: sigh
Opti: Perhaps, may I ask you a question that would help me figure this out. Please take no offense.
Lady: sure
Opti: How old are you?
Lady: Why?
Opti: (figuring out the best way to explain) Because, knowing your age will help me figure out the strength and power of the lenses that would help you see best.
Lady: never answers. just stares
Opti: Ms
Lady: I just want to see. (walks off) I have glasses at my desk at work perhaps you can get it from those.
Opti: (thinking ... wow ... you could have lead with that ... and you would've had glasses by now)
