I purchased a pare of glasses from Image Eye 5 years ago. I barely wore them because my prescription had changed rather quickly. I over paid, it was $600, but I thought I was really sharp in my new FACE FACE Frames and the service I received from the owners daughter made me feel justified in spending so much.
Well this go around I took a less expensive route and went to Costco for the new lenses replacement. However, they could not guarantee that the frames wouldn't brake during replacement.
So I returned to none other than IMAGE EYES OPTICAL. BIG MISTAKE!
During my visit with Chris, who turned out to be an owner, she was snotty, rude, belligerent, indignant, condescending. Which definitely are all poor service characteristics.
This response came as a result of me questioning the replacement price and stating that I had used the glasses very little because my prescription had changed. All thought this was not her problem, I did expect that she justify and validate the premium cost for the lenses replacement. I also shared with her my competitive bids. She did neither, but decided to treat me poorly. Her only argument to justify her position, is that I have to decide what I want. I had already explained what I wanted; it was a good deal on some great lenses. Not a lot to ask for as a repeat customer.
Well this definitely incited her, and when she couldn't close the deal she became increasingly disrespectful. I suppose my response in calling her an F'n B, when she told me to take my business to Costco, was out of line. However, why was it so surprising when she had caused the negative interaction?
It never ceases to amaze me when someone's complete disrespect and poor customer service becomes my problem. Particularly when I reacted to HER un-pleasantries, then I became the bad guy!
Needless to say, I approached who I thought was the owner, but later discovered it was her husband. So that didn't go over well.
In fact I was chased to my car by both of them. Not out of the store BUT TO MY CAR. Being berated and called "A loser". And being told to "get the hell out of there".....obviously me getting in my car and leaving was not enough action for them to understand I was leaving and NEVER coming back!!! And yes I responded to his incensed berating of me and flipping off with the same level of respect! Do ya blame me?
Well if not wanting to take their belligerence and mistreatment, and fighting back is deemed a "Loser", so be it. I will take that any day, rather than take such disrespect.....
This high end store doesn't get how to treat high end customers........... read more
