*Rant mode on*
I bought a nice pair of prescription eyeglasses from them a little over a year ago. The (plastic) lenses were supposedly treated with some fancy anti-scratch coating, and to be fair they did put up with horrendous conditions. But now the coating is worn off and scratched through in some places. So I go back to them on my lunch break (downtown SF, right by my job), and ask them what they would charge for lens replacement. I know it ain't gonna' be cheap. The plastic clerk puts on her best cheerful smile, gives me a quote, and I damn near collapse.
$225! :eek Jesus jumped up Christ! I was flabbergasted. I know that these lenses probably cost them no more than $30 or so to make. Damn highway robbery if you ask me.
The f***ers. They can suck my left nut. :finger :finger
*Rant mode off* I need some coffee.
