As I was rooting around my favorite links this morning (coffee carefully at my side :)
I checked out Eyecare Business Online - They are looking for the funniest, sweetest, most frustrating, enlightening, cutest, etc stories optical professionals have to share. They will be published in the December 2001 issue and the entry deadline is: October 1, 2001. I wanted to pass this info along to the gang here at Optiboard. I am new to this board but I can tell from what I have read that there are some interesting stories out there...
I'd like to start a thread on this subject of : interesting encounters of the public kind...so to speak...
I'll go first:
About 5 years ago, a guy called us from about 1 hour away. He was a long-haul trucker and had broken his glasses while loading his rig with ONIONS. He was on his way to another state & needed another pair ASAP (why can't they seem to understand us when we give them compelling reasons to get a backup...another time, perhaps). Anyway, we got it ready for him (we had a lab on-site) by the time he got there. He was SO grateful, he wanted to give us a "tip". We explained that we didn't want or need a tip but he insisted! So, he unloaded 2 100 pound bags of farm fresh onions and insisted we take them for our staff ! They were quite yummy....not quite creme brulee...but still...quite tasty....
