I wear glasses and go to my local Specsavers- have done for over ten years. Every single time I’ve been there I’ve noticed that all of the staff in the glasses department wear glasses. I figured that they probably don’t all need glasses but maybe wear clear glass just to be more relatable and advertise what they sell.
Then yesterday I had an appointment for contact lens fitting so went to the lens department. The optometrist was telling me about different lenses and pointed out the ones in her eyes- I could see them from where I was sitting (they had a UV filter so weren’t entirely clear- there was slight colouration around the edges)
Then I moved to an assistant who did a session teaching me how to put in and take out my lenses. She demonstrated a few moves with her own lenses. Then I looked around and realised that nobody working in the lens section wore glasses. I had to go the glasses section to pay and, sure enough, all staff in glasses.
So, if you’ve ever worked in Specsavers, can you shed any light? 🤓
