I selected a pair of glasses at the Fayette Pavilion location and afterwards went to Ft. Lauderdale for an 8-day vacation. The frames that I selected were stylish, but the frame was maladjusted and hurt the bridge of my nose and ears. So, I requested a refund since there were no other frames that appealed to me and their company policy allowed an exchange or refund within 30 days, if the customer is dissatisfied. The manager processed the refund AND I LEFT THE GLASSES WITH HER. Well, the next day I went to another LensCrafters located in Peachtree City. There, I selected a new pair of glasses and the staff was very helpful. However, my insurance wouldn't cover the cost because the manager at the previous store reported that I never returned the glasses! The inference is that I had stolen them after getting the refund. Lie! Lie! Lie!!!
Well, my insurance, refused to release the funds for a new pair because they apparently bought the story that I stole the original glasses from the first store. I WAS EMBARRASSED BEYOND ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE. The next day, I went into the Peachtree City LensCrafters store, with my husband who works for the Sheriffs's office, to see if the problem had been resolved only to discover that it hadn't. So, later, I contacted the manager at the Pavillion and she told me the problem had been resolved and that my Insurance company (Blue Cross/Blue Shield) released the funds, so I could now pay for the new glasses/frames at the Peachtree City location. She offered NO APOLOGY for my inconvenience and for falsely classified me as a thief! Fast forward, I contacted several attorneys but they were all out on Holiday vacation. None returned my call, so I was still fuming, To release my pent up anger, I resorted to YELP! My own insurance company could've at least contacted me to obtain my side of the story since I pay them $162 a month from my social security check. By the way, the manager at the Pavilion is a tattooed white woman and I'm African American. Even the technician at the Peachtree store said the manager should've looked better before assuming I stole the glasses and reporting it to my insurance company. If I had been a white woman, she probably wouldn't have been so quick to pull the trigger. Luckily, this issue was resolved before the hand struck midnight, ringing in a New Year and the loss of my deductible benefits for 2023. read more
