Cvs closes for NOTHING!
CVS doesn’t care one darn bit about us! And a delayed opening is about as close to a day off we’ll ever get. Even a delayed opening they probably hemmed and hawed just to make that call. Cvs closes for NOTHING! ALL they care about is making sure the... — read more

Stock is crashing...
In danger of falling into the 50’s. Watch out IF it falls below fifty into the 40’s, then you might see crisis mode. A far cry from when we were in the hundreds.

Companies that do this fail!
Don't assume the new test stores will be successful. We can't service our current business model.. Company won't pay an 12 dollar employee but were going to pay an optometrist their wage to sit and wait for a customer?? This company is throwing to... — read more
