Eyeglasses: This Process Is A Hassle.

We have the money for new specs and we're lookin' to buy.

Off to the maul, and we went to Giant Chain Eyeglasses Place to stand around for 15 minutes until one of the associates could finish with their customer. They told us to go next door to the Optometrists. Next door they had a customer type lady who had come in for a scheduled appointment. Her appointment was a half-hour behind schedule, and the clerk wanted us to hang out until a doctor was available. Not so much. They also said they are packing up and leaving town this week, and gave me a number to call to set up an appointment at the new place.

Off we went to the OTHER Giant Chain Eyeglasses Place in the Maul, and they had a prominently marked Optometrist next door. These optometrists take walk-ins, but they're booked solid today. We booked an appointment for next weekend. Next door, I walked in and someone addressed me like a human had just entered a business and then answered all my questions despite an obvious bad day/headache vibe he had going on.

Guess which store we'll be patronizing next week.
