[23:28] DaemonFC Walmart's usually the cheapest place to get an eye exam. [23:28] DaemonFC Some stores offer "free exams" but if you don't pay for the exam, they don't have to give you your prescription. [23:28] DaemonFC That way they make sure that you have to buy their glasses. [23:28] DaemonFC And they're the really expensive ones, of course. [23:29] DaemonFC It's like those bars that used to give everyone "free" lunch and they'd make it really salty so you couldn't get out of there without buying drinks. [23:29] DaemonFC They're more than happy to waive a $70 exam if you'll buy a $900 pair of glasses. [23:30] DaemonFC But if you pay for the exam, the law makes them give you your prescription in hard copy. [23:30] DaemonFC They're not happy about it, but it is the law. [23:31] DaemonFC They used to be fine with it because nobody sold prescription eyeglasses except other overpriced stores, so there was nowhere to take the prescription where you'd do much better.
