It turns out I didn't, so I returned to the store to trade UP to the better version of the glasses. The new store manager Eli tried a dozen different excuses why she didn't want to let me trade up. When their computer system would allow everything to transact the way I wanted, she came up with a story that these were not the glasses they sold me, that they were counterfeit in some way and refused to help me. I can prove that these are the exact glasses that were sold to me because they are AI glasses and have a usage history that links back to just minutes after I bought them.

While visiting a friend in Venice, Florida, I had an issue with my 26 year old Maui Jim sunglasses…read more They had somehow gotten bent, and I wasn't sure what could be done to fix them. If they could be fixed at all. I stopped into Gulf Coast Sunglasses, and from the moment I walked in that Sunday, I was impressed. Everyone there was incredibly welcoming and attentive. When I returned the day before heading home to check on the progress, they followed up just as thoughtfully. The whole experience felt less like a transaction and more like being helped by people who genuinely care. Debbie, in particular, stood out. She handled everything with professionalism and warmth...something i honestly haven't experienced much back home lately. Her personality made my situation so much easier. You really can't go wrong stopping in here, whether you need help with a repair or are looking to make a purchase. Great service, great people- HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Larry B Oceanside NY

The girl was very knowledgeable and was helping us when someone else came. She excused herself to help them, which was OK as we were looking, but then as more people started coming in the store, she was not coming back to help us.. at the point where there were four other customers besides us in the store, my husband asked her to come back and help us and with an attitude she said that there were other people in the store to help. We told her that we were there first and her reply was well. I can't ignore everyone else.. we replied well you're ignoring us and we were here first at that point she told us to get out of the store and to come back when someone else was there. I don't see any situation where that would be acceptable for an employee to tell customers to get out of the store.. we will be contacting corporate

I called Sunglass Hut and spoke with Stevie, who was willing to take a look. She not only fixed the broken pair, but also tuned up my older pair, resulting in essentially two new pair of Ray-Bans.
