Having recently collected a pair of prescription sunglasses from another store, it wasn't until I got them home (and put my glasses on) that I noticed one of the lenses didn't fit and had a gap in the bottom..
Not wanting to do another 30 mile round trip to correct their mistake by dropping them off and going back a fourth time to collect them, again(!) I visited Coalville instead..
The place was empty with not one customer in sight
I politely explained what was wrong to the young woman at the till, when one extremely rude woman next to her barked at me "What's the problem!? without so much as a 'Hello'.
Having repeated that the lenses don't fit she went out of her way to find excuses.. After her hoity-toity complaints that they would never have accepted them like that in the first place, she presumably tried to place the blame with me by asking how long I've had them, and why I was in there..
Her lack of help then settled on the excuse that their systems are completely different to every other Boots Opticians in the land. So I was forced to do another 30 mile round trip.. only to be told by the (polite and helpful) assistant manager there that (as I suspected) they could have indeed helped me! She further explained they themselves deal with orders from local and non-local opticians and she couldn't understand why they didn't want to help..
I guess they wanted to go back to chatting amongst themselves for the last 1.5hrs until closing....
Helen and Karen always have a smile on their faces and can’t do enough to help.
Thanks for always being so kind.
Love you.
