Poll of the Day > Got a new pair of glasses. They suck. What do?

(+) Yeah! (+)

So before the eye exam they did the thing where they blow air in your eye to test whatever. On my right eye the chick didn't even warn me so while they got a good reading I kinda freaked out a tiny bit. On my left eye then, I kept blinking so much that I got an eyelash in my eye or something that made me tear up badly.

Right after that they did the eye exam, and I tried to tell the "doctor" about it but she went ahead anyways. My right eye went fine, but on the left she had to do the "does 1 or 2 look better?" thing like three times because my vision was messed up.

Then the receptionist told me they wouldn't be ready for a few days ("wtf they're normal glasses" I said to myself) and I left. Right after I got home the chick calls me and tells me they're ready, with no explanation as to why she said what she said an hour earlier. So when I went all the way back and picked them up, I was peeved and the place closed in 10 minutes, so I just grabbed them and left.

Trying them on now, the left lens is noticeably worse than the right and it gives everything a blurry afterimage, it's bullshit and worse than the old pair I was replacing.

How do I go about complaining to get my money back/the glasses redone? The service and product was/is bad enough to warrant at least that much.

Of the glasses? Why? I mean a picture wouldn't be able to show you that the prescription is slightly off on one lens.

Pics of you wearing the glasses.

Get new ones! Duh!

A swordsman with glasses? Good luck against a spearman with good eyesight!

Classic sword guy.

There isn't a single picture of me on the internet (at least in any easily accessible space) and I'm going to keep it that way.

I'm not spending another penny when it was their screw up that made the glasses bad.

I might be borderline legally blind, but I have insight to make up for it in spades.

You could speak up for yourself, and make the party that is truly accountable pay for what they did.
If you want to be silent and weak, then that's your prerogative.
You asked. I answered. Maybe next time you won't ask an anonymous group of gamer geeks. Maybe you'll get a backbone and do what you know you should do.

I'm obviously asking how to go about doing that. Duh.

Which means your combat prowess would be on par with a guy who just picked up a spear for the first time.

Why aren't you just going back to them directly, stating the problem as clearly as you stated it to us, and insisting on a sensible resolution?

If you don't know how to do any of that, then get your mommy to handle this. PotD is not your mommy.

Because they're closed. Duh. Also most people in this world are idiots and are unreasonable by nature, you're wondrously naïve if you think things will go smoothly if I try a direct approach. They will no doubt try to lay the blame on me like everyone else in life.

No. Duh.
But I'm too busy to go by there tomorrow and I had no other material for my daily topic.

Why didn't you say something to basically anyone you saw on the way of getting the glasses?

Did you ask them about it once? What did they say

No. Duh.

Then you have to put on your big-boy pants and prioritize how badly you need your glasses tomorrow versus how badly you need to do those other things. Hashtag Adulting.

When did I ever say I need to do something about this tomorrow? Your attempts to be patronizing are backfiring if you aren't aware.

Then do it the next day, or the day after that, or the day after that, or whenever you can fit it into your grownup schedule.

You're the one that expressly said you don't know how to solve a simple grownup problem, and then copped attitude about how dumb and unreasonable most people are. I'm not patronizing you, I'm working with the childish material you've given me.

Nobody is patronizing you. Just do what you need to do, and quit playing the "victim" card.
If we didn't care or if we didn't want to see you succeed, then we would troll you and give you bad advice.

You sure you just don't need a few days for your eyes to adjust to your new glasses? My new glasses felt weird at first, but after a few days I started feeling better and now I'm acclimating to them fine.
