Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ever Been Booted From An Optometrist's Office?

Been shown the door at the Toyota dealer service department. It's easy, all you gotta do is ask to see the parts they replaced. Anyone can do it. And my proudest moment in an otherwise humdrum existence....refused service and asked to leave DMV for protesting a late penalty after their office was closed during the early days of covid.

Our local “city” had a mandate back in 2020. Went to the eye doc there. Get to the exam room. He closes door. Takes off his mask. “This is a mask free area”. Then he goes on a rant about city government having too much power.

Those fiction writing courses from the Community College are paying off!

Excellent story!

As I’ve gotten older I just refuse to compromise. I don’t get mad. I don’t cuss anyone or anything. I just turn around and leave without a word.

I refuse to pay for something that isn’t exactly what I want. If I go into a convenience store and they don’t have the drink I want, I don’t reward them for it by buying something else. If the drive through person doesn’t listen and interrupts me while I am telling her exactly what I want, I drive off. If someone won’t do what I ask them to I simply leave. Stores that asked me to mask back during the pandemic, saw me immediately turn around and walk out.

In the end, it’s my money and practically no one has anything out there that I must have. So, I just don’t deal with people not intent upon providing customer service.

TRH, were you open carrying? Trigger some sentient left wingism?

Cross contamination risk. When the doctor puts drops in a patient's eyes, the reflex of the patient is to blink, which will cause small droplets to fly (Ever put your glasses on right after putting in eye drops? You will soon need to wipe your lenses from the droplets due to your blinking), which then contact the head of the dispenser. Whatever germs were in your eyes will now enter the eyes of the next patient. It's why you don't share your Visine bottle with anyone.

Wow! Missed that completely.

I wish. Certainly didn't need to waste an afternoon.

Nope. I'm very discrete.

Your first clue should have been that the optometrist’s office was located in a run down motel on the bad side of town.

They own all the motels, too. The US Government gave them sweetheart deals on cheap business loans (not available to non-immigrant Americans), Guaranteed by the US Tax Payer, so they used them to buy all the motels up across the country, KFCs, too.

Patel means innkeeper.

Nah, they own the motels because they’ll have 500 Indians putting into a pot to buy them and then they’ll all have an interest. And frankly, Americans won’t work hard enough to make a schitty motel or convenience store go.

An Indian family will be there 24/7. Americans won’t do that. They’ll try to hire help and help at that level will steal you blind. Indians will do it and they eventually get rich but I’m not sure it’s worth it. You’re rich but you just spent your life in a [bleep] convenience store paying back four hundred cousins for their $725 contributions.

That's the first time an optometrist has ever asked me to have my eyes dilated for an exam. Is this something new? Anyone else get that request at an optometrist's office? Ophthalmologists do it routinely, but not optometrists, in my experience.

You have the option to send a registered letter to the FLA medical board. One letter probably would not result in much but still...

Should have been really confirmed when they asked him to take his pants off.

I’m so done with any and all Dr. Of any kind, I have just found new issues with my heart, so I’m seeing Cardiologist and Hematologist, these Dr. All come from the city to our local hospital so locals don’t have to make three hour drive one way, anyway I have made my mind up next meeting tomorrow when nurses hand me that mask upon coming in, I’m telling everyone in waiting room and staff , I’m paying you, I’m not wearing one, you keep yours on. I am done with all these rules, phone book full of every kind of Dental and Doctors. I hate to be hard , but the next eye roll I see above a mask, going to say something!!

LOL. This is true. They typically live in the motel room next to the front office, and only use family as maids and such.

Are happy endings now a part of an eye exam?

You know, if you smacked your forehead hard enough you might now have a big red dot on you forehead.
She may like you better now.
