I'm embarrassed to admit it, but the 14 year old who wrote that comment makes a great point.
You admit your embarrassment...
 So you're not entirely on his level. B"H.  :)

sometimes if you push them they'll give you a $29.95 introductory rate
i tried several times, got the offer of voice + internet for $59.99. didn't accept it because I have an OBI for free phone service...
i ended up getting a close neighbor to let me leech on to their wifi network, but if they move, I think if you keep trying and are persistent (remember the HUCA rule) you may be successful. I kept telling the rep that Verizon made me a good offer. Before my 59.99 offer for voice + online they wanted $69 for it. he put me on hold and said he'd speak to his boss and then came back with that offer. i think they first offer a high price, and then if you call back they eventually offer lower. keep trying and report your results! hatzlacha!

There's a guy in Shoprite that was popular in my days, also there's someone next door to the DMV on the 70 who I used twice. Not sure if they're good though.

I need new glasses, but I want to get my prescription checked first, nothing serious, not looking for a specialist

Dr Borkowski is very good been going to him for over 20 years... If you leave your name with them they could put you on a cancellation list.

The one on the 70  is Dr. Rothkof . I  dint know much about him .

I've heard he's good, but I've never been to him.

Why not use the in-house optometrist at any glasses store?

My wife went to one of these I forgot the name (if you want I'll find out) and she was extremely dissatisfied with the eye doctor, she ended up waiting for an appointment for Dr Borkowski to get checked again.
I only paid 15% by switching to dansdeals
