I recently visited the Verona Costco Vision Center and left feeling disappointed by the experience. When I arrived, the center was empty, yet I waited at the counter while the staff member on duty puttered about without acknowledging me. When she did come to the counter, her attitude was dismissive.
I brought in a pair of Zenni frames I love (no longer in production) hoping to have new lenses made. While she did call the lab to ask, I was told they couldn't use the frames because they were considered over-the-counter. (Read: cheap) I understand that may be policy, but the way it was handled felt unnecessarily abrupt and unhelpful.
Even if the outcome was going to be the same, the tone and approach could have made a big difference. Unfortunately, this interaction didn't reflect the level of service I usually expect from Costco. read more
