The 2 women working reception and technician duties were professional and very friendly, and especially helpful. I didnt get their names but they deserve recognition for their overall attitudes at work, it set a great tone.

LUIS, however was the MVP. He delivered a great customer experience, the process was not time consuming or difficult at all, and he didn't waste time over-explaining things when he knew I understood what he was talking about - 11/10, absolutely coming back.

YOUR STAFF CONVENIENTLY FORGOT THAT YOU HAD A 99 dollar special and did not tell me Untill after I had purchased one set of over priced glasses. He did not say anything untill I told him I can find them cheaper at eyebuy direct. Then he went to SUPPOSEDLY talk to his manager and then he told me about the special. I WAS OVER CHARGED 65 DOLLARS FOR ONE PAIR. BAUGHT 2 sets of glasses. Your staff is crooked trying to suck every penny out of customers. That 2 for 79.00 DOES NOT EXIST.

Respectful

Polite, patient, respectful and good value. The agent that helped me (Jeremiah Brown) was all these and more. I'm 86 years old and hard of hearing. He spoke slowly and clearly.

Stanton optical or Stanton automotive?

I just went in for reading glasses and saw their 2 for 80 deal. I felt like I was at a car dealership instead of a optical store. The up selling, the time wasting, offering financing ,cheaper alternatives and same day service. Once I said I will pay for the exam and get my glasses elsewhere, then all of a sudden the 2 for 80 deal was offered to me, but of course my frames and lenses were out of stock and I would have to wait 2 weeks. I go to pick up my glasses and they are way too strong because they added the recommended .75 addition to each eye. I told them it was too much and feels too intense. I was told to give them a couple weeks and I would get used to it. I already got a different pair of reading glasses elsewhere, minus the .75 addition, and they are absolutely perfect. Feels like my vision is corrected and not looking into a telescope. Never coming back here again
