take it easy @Former-Member
Been to bigtown here @Meowmy @StuF @Glisten
got stuff done, even took glasses back after getting talked into reading glasses . i complained when I picked them up, then went home and thought about it, and though stuff it, have just wasted a pair of glasses on something useless. of course i can read without them, ok might need to hold things further away or whatever. or worst case re vitamin bottles , use $4 chemist glasses, does same thing, instead of me wasting half of 2prs glasses deal on $100+ version of $4 glasses lol
anyway they agreed. didnt seem happy about it tho. and they are doing it for free ha ha lol

@TAB You have to be careful with optometrists. In my case a year or so ago I needed to buy new lenses and the optometrist tried to sell me glasses for both distance and reading. I simply didn't have that money. He knew I was on a pension and I picked him up on it and I knew there and then I was being ripped off. Just got graduated lenses instead and decided to never go back there again. Business was obviously slow and he was trying to rake in money at my expense. I just said no and got only what I needed and that was it. It was a really poor image for that optical store. Don't know if they have done it to other people but if they did it to me then it would be highly likely
Same with biologic dentists. They suck you in with Tong expensive flossing as a complimentary "gift" then take you into the room and start scareing the living daylights out of you while they are in your mouth saying you need all these add-on treatments. It takes courage to tell the idiot you are not putting up with it. Have heard from other healers thats what some biologic dentists do. Have also read other google reviews of biologic dentists and they are profiteering in a big way and are out to make truckloads of money.

yeah think we had this conversation already @Former-Member i had a guy being push with trifocals, even this last one said 'i need them' i said no i dont, but they pushed reading glasses, just using their quals to up sell, or down sell so you get less from a 'deal'..
