Things Not To Say In a Poor Commercial Environment

As I was taking Liz to get some new eyeglasses, the store served Liz in the following manner:

1) Store: "Are your glasses too loose? Put your head down and shake your head." Liz responded by losing her glasses so she asked them to tighten the glasses a bit. To which the store responded: "well, really, how often are you going put your head down and shake your head."

2) Liz: "I don't think the prescription is right; I still can't see through one of these lenses...it is still blurry." Store: "Maybe the doctor wants you to have blurry glasses in order to strengthen your eyes".

3) Store: "Your glasses have come in today, but we haven't processed them yet. I know we called you to let you know they were in, but we haven't put them in inventory yet. Come back tomorrow."

That's terrible! What is the name of the eye glass place? I've always had good service at Lens Crafters.
