Month: February 2009

Spent the first day of our four day weekend sleeping until 8:30. Then we went back to the store we visited a few weeks ago and bought this tile for our foyer/guest bath renovation.

I got a coupon earlier in the week for 10% off the entire purchase so it was perfect timing. I’m really looking forward to updating our place.

We also hit the produce market, library, Sears Optical, and Petsmart.

Sears Optical is on my list at the moment. I really like the doctor but his staff, while nice, leave something to be desired. First they weren’t able to order my lenses while I was there on Monday and told me they’d call me back the next day. I never heard from them so finally I called them yesterday and was told they needed Joe’s SS#. I don’t know it by heart and he was unavailable, so I told them I’d call them back. Instead, we just headed over there today and proceeded to wait around fifteen minutes because there was one person working there who told us she’d be with us after the person who was in front of us in line. In the meantime, another worker came in and instead of asking her colleague who was next, proceeded to take care of everyone else who had come in AFTER us until I approached the counter again to make her pay attention to us (and this was the second time she pulled this crap as she did the same thing earlier in the week when Joe was picking up his contacts).

We were so aggravated at this point that we just asked for the prescription. I’m going to order my lenses from 1-800-Contacts and just get reimbursed from the insurance. My contacts will be delivered to my home so I don’t have to go back to Sears and wait forever for them to take care of me once more.

And these brick and mortar stores wonder why their business is suffering?
