Is it ok to fill an McDonalds Ice Coffee Cup with Soda?

So you're saying that if someone buys glasses from you but doesn't get an eye exam, you charge for adjustments and stuff?

That seems kind of stingy. I see an actual opthalmologist because of some special issues I have and then go to a local optical/optometry shop near me for glasses. It sounds like if they operated the way you did, I'd get charged, which would definitely leave a bad taste in my mouth.



Well yeah that's rude, and wrong. You shouldn't expect to get free stuff just walking into somewhere unless they advertise it.



Well, the end result is that I can compare them: Glasses sitting on my face that I can see out of. The only difference is potentially in quality of materials, selection, workmanship, and after-sale services. Which is why I'm currently going to this local shop, since they have a bit higher quality, better selection, and much better after-sale services.

It's not like I'm trying to compare the glasses to a pizza or something, they are directly comparable. And the frame and set of lenses at my local Costco I would select are 4-5 times the cost I did select at my local shop. The cost of frames at my local shop are more, but I'm sorry, I'm still getting "ripped off" in a sense, because I know these frames aren't $300. But again, the ability to get rimless is worth the difference, so it is directly comparable. I probably would switch back to Costco if I couldn't find frames I like because even stepping down to discount frames, the difference is still easily 3.5x at the local optical shop.



Doesn't make a bit of difference to me. An analogy to this from my field is offshoring and outsourcing of software development. If I were about to be outsourced to an offshore development shop, me telling management that they can't make a cost comparison to the other developer because he doesn't have the same rigorous training and experience I do would be dismissed out of hand. At the end of the day, all they'd care about is a delivered product.

Which is why the local shop is winning my business. They are adding value that other places like Zenni don't and I respect and recognize that. Not everyone will and you can't just tell people that Zenni isn't comparable. It obviously is for them.

Speaking of Zenni, I'm not entirely sure that Costco isn't using a shop like them. It usually takes them nearly two weeks to get a pair of glasses in, which curiously is roughly the time it takes Zenni to get glasses to me.

The 55 cents one???? For the slices or snacks???

I love a woman who knows her peelies.

Yes, the $0.55 ones - for the slices. I love the 40 calorie ultra thin slices and some of the coupons don't expire until 5/31/2013!

Oh MA GAWD..............THOSE ARE THE ONES!!!!!!!!!!!!

The swiss....can we talk about the swiss????

"Cheese, Cheese will keep us together
