lewis,
i would also like to explain a little bit to you about what goes on
at eyeglassworld and why it isnt just about money.
for example, when the store in louisville was being opened, the area
manager for indiana went there to open the store. while there he
supplied underage female employees with drugs and alcohol and had sex
with them. they also had a company party in downtown indianapolis a
few months ago and supplied underage employees with unlimited alcohol
and allowed them to drive home. thats a big no-no.
as far as the people that see it as "fool me once shame on you, fool
me twice shame on me" when it comes to customers, yes they could go
somewhere else and get it cheaper. but when we tell them that we put
ultra violet protection on their lenses and we didnt, thats illegal.
when we sell them a set of polycarbonate lenses for $118, and we put
in a set of plastic lenses instead, thats illegal. when i am given
full authority by the doctor on staff to arbitrarily change a
patient's prescription without a new eye exam, that is way beyond
illegal. yes, i have committed crimes there. yes, most of us have
done things that we are ashamed of while we worked for them. but we
all eventually wised up and left. I got out when i was told if i
didnt accept the casual drug use of my employees and my superiors
that i could look for a new job.
someone out there has got to know how to get something started. if
it just takes somehting like going to OSHA and reporting them, then
lets do that. there has got to be some way to get the word out to
people so that they dont get burned the way past customers and
employees have.
