We had been to a well known Optical store, whose name starts with O and ends with M with two letters in between, for a quote. We were quoted 749 dollars for the frame and lenses while Blink quoted us 629. Same frame plus 167 lenses(Hoya). Service was excellent. ended up out of pocket 170 dollars after massive discounts and rebate while the other shop quoted I would be out of pocket 410. It was a no brainer.
The same with a pair of Sunglasses, to have prescription lenses. We would have been out of pocket 280 while at blink it was 50.
Both are HBA Member first and provide the same lenses and frames.

We went there to try out a particular model of car seat. We had done some research on this type of car seat. The model didn't exactly fit our car. They tried selling a much more expensive car seat to us, which we said we had to research before buying. Then the negativity and rudeness doubled and they passed on very rude comments. The lady passed on a very rude remark.
The whole experience was horrendous. We will never go back to the store and will be sharing our experience with other friends.
They might be cheap, so are their service and attitude. If you do your research, you can surely find products at their price and get better service. In this day and age everyone does price matching.

Terrible service. Table wasnt cleared for new customer even after being seated. Missed our order, when mentioned at the counter, it was served cold, when on the menu, it is listed warm.
Again went to the counter to mention what happened, and they asked us, what they should do about that.
A simple apology would have been a good start. Providing better service would be next step. Politeness may be a good thing to have when you are running a cafe. But who am I to say how they should run their shop. All I can do is not go there and share my experience with others.
