I said no thank you, was still shoved to the salewoman who received a 'show this person the glasses' spiel and led to the glasses, because I'm not the type of person to cut someone off mid sentence or walk off when obviously, I still had to pay for the test with the work card thingy..... It's hardly keeping me up at night but it seemed like a relevant set of experience for the thread content, that's all. And I've been several times over the last ~6 years because of work, so I'd assume it is a common experience tbh

I get you, apologies if I was a bit on the hyperbole! It’s a shame you’ve had that experience, as someone fairly reliant on opticians services I feel relatively fortunate to have received really top notch service. I get that it’s not universal, thanks for sharing your experience.
