Don't confuse the Walmart vision centers with the optometrists next door who check your eyes/give you the prescription. The people next door are actual professionals who understand customer service. I walked in with my prescription on my phone (heads up, you need a physical copy) and knew which contacts I wanted to purchase. When I was told I needed the physical copy, the employee said I needed to obtain one from my optometrist who's located in Houston, go figure.
She said she could call to have the optometrist fax it over, so I gave her the number and she called. She said they didn't pick up so she asked for the number again and called a second time to no avail.
I walked all the way back to the other side of the store and looked up my optometrist's number while I was walking to my car. Google said the office was still open, so I gave them a call and they picked up ON THE FIRST RING. I told the receptionist I needed my prescription faxed over to Walmart and they replied, "Is this Cynthia? Walmart just called and hung up on me." By the time I walked back into Walmart to the vision center, they had already faxed over the prescription. read more
