I’ve been a Costco Optical customer for years… new to Florida but was hoping for the same quality of care I received in other states. That answer ~ NO! I met Cindy the optical retailer last week and she could not have been more rude or condescending! I apparently interrupted her phone time. To note~ I have never gone to a Costco optical department that didn’t have minimum 20 customers circulating.. There was nobody in this department. I’ve never seen that before, but now I can understand why. I asked her to help me fit my glasses (and yes I did purchase them there~ she made sure of that because I could see it on her face, she wanted nothing more than to tell me to go away) they had stretched out, and she tried her hardest to break the glasses but fortunately, for me, she wasn’t successful. In the past I have recommended Costco optical but after this experience I won’t be a customer there anymore either.

Excellent customer service. The manager assisted me and was so knowledgeable and helpful. While I already had glasses from a different location, they assisted with an expert fit and advice. Now my glasses are more comfortable and less fatiguing. Will get my next set of glasses here.
The doctor of optometry, Dr. Raymond and her staff were thorough and professional with my eye exam. Their examination equipment was the most up-to-date and modern I've ever seen. For my glasses, Cindy helped me find just the right frames for my face and was pleasant and professional. I'll be going back every year for my eye exam.
Cindy in the optical/glasses department could use a refresher course in good costumer service skills. Horribly rude to me and others while trying to buy 2 pair of glasses and get them adjusted as your eye doctor had requested. She asked many questions about why I could not see with the new glasses but never fixed the problem which was a minor adjustment.
Most condescending, unhelpful retail staff I’ve ever encountered in a Costco. I should have asked her name, but I believe it was Cindy. If her job is not to help customers what exactly is it then?
