I just liked three posts in a row. This thread is gold, Jerry.

Baloney, I may have missed the update, but whatever happened with your wife's friend who wanted your ####?

Some states Optometrists are employees of the retail chain, in other states we lease space and make all the exam fee money. All the costco docs are leased space docs no matter the state (california is a little odd bc of their state law, but they are essentially independent).

Which eye was he examining?

Brown. He thought he was seeing his proctologist.

Brown. He thought he was seeing his proctologist.

That's called the Hope Solo exam. There is an extra charge for that though.

Examining Hope Solo gave me an extra charge.

wait a second I won't even be able to use a contact down there. I've never been able to see out of that eye any way.

I think it was BS's backside "pink eye"?!?!

Want to see a creeper? Look in the mirror at the guy considering stalking his optomitrist on a hunch.

I'm not going to stalk him , my intern is

Wait - do you run Kramerica Industries?

I'm not seeing it.

FWIW I do not work at LensCrafters, and at 42 would say I am not on the back 9 of my career. I don't THINK I am a creeper, but maybe I better check.

Since it sounds like you are industry, am I wrong in thinking LensCrafters is bottom of the barrel for eye doctors?

LensCrafters? No. America's Best? You betcha. Honestly, I do not want to make any snap judgements on who works for what. Gatorman works for Costco, but is also a consultant for a large contact lens company. I do not think you can make general statements, but I would say by and large those that work in retail are brand new and cannot get a job in private practice, those that have immediate financial needs and those that are less driven. In general, the immediate salary for a retail doc is higher than private practice, but it does not go up hardly at all. It stays very stagnant, while private docs have a huge ceiling if they are not creepers.

FWIW I am pretty sure most retail docs do not make 6 figures.

Thanks, pretty much as I thought. My intern will be in the office tomorrow, will look to feel him out about doing some detective work instead of putting together another Excel or PP presentation for me.

Are you the CEO of Kramerica? Is your intern named Darrin? Is your fly open?

 

[Gene Sackman]

Who goes to the mall optometrist.. lol loser.

 

[El Floppo]

so?

where's the intern's report, dammit?

 

[Tom Servo]

Though I applaud BS in putting in the time and setting this up prior to Friday, there is no explanation or background as to why this mall guy is creepy. This is as lame and hand-handed as it gets - what are you an engineer?

Zero backstory, zero level of clues for suspicion, and where is the danger? And who is in danger? Who are we supposed to care about here? We all know BS is not a sympathetic character. Can you at least put yourself in danger so we can decide whether you should die and disappear ala Blue Onion?

BS - you can do better than this, get some help if you really are an engineer, because if you are - this probably is your best effort.

EXCUSE ME?????

intern actually doesn't work on Friday but he ended up meeting me for lunch today. we sucked down a couple of beers and i gently mentioned the subject of this creeper eye doctor, told him how it would be great if i had the time to follow him around to see if he is a sicko. i laughingly said perhaps instead of finishing so and so project next week you could to do some recon at the mall. he seems eager to help although i think it helped that i mentioned the front desk girl at Lenscrafters was hot and had a giant rack.

If she wears a pink sweater and has a husband named Todd, we've been waiting for pics for a long time.

Pretty sure we will get pics of her husband instead.

Hello. I work in a Costco and can tell you that many Optometrists in retail settings make well over 6 figures. Again, we can get into the nuts and bolts of the profession, but that is boring. Suffice to say it looks something like this (and it may vary depending on the state)

Private Guys who own their optical

Costco / Lenscrafters / Visionworks

Walmart / Target / Sears

JC Penny / Sams Club / BJs

America's best or any of those 2 pair of lenses and an eye exam for 69 dollar places.

I started out in a costco and made great money from the start and it only got better. I live in a saturated market (So FL) for eye doctors so walking away from this cash cow for a private practice was not in the cards.

Creepy happens in all industries, but I will say that I have fired a few of my associates over the years bc they were a little weird. Just go see someone else.

PS. Pickles> Just because I grazed your thigh once in the hot tub at Melly's does not make me creepy. I just slipped, okay?

Good to know, I did some internet research and was able to look him up via a state licensing site and it appears he is clean. He graduated from eye school in 2008 so perhaps this is a second profession for him. However, it almost seems like he didn't exist prior to 2008 (at least on the regular web...haven't had a chance to explore the deep web yet).

Witness protection program. Don't out the guy or the feds will be all over your ###.

Any weekend updates on the research?

Update?

The creeper is coming from inside the house.
