    We purchased a pair of Oakley sunglasses from your establishment on a previous date. We drove almost 2 hours from our home to come to your store to have them sent off for prescription lenses. We arrived at the sunglasses desk. We were informed that the employee did not know how to do it. Went to the service desk, they informed us that she was the only person there for the sunglasses desk. Although the service desk apologized, I feel they could have offered more assistance after finding out we drove 2 hours. They gave the impression that it was not their problem. Very disappointed that you offer a service that you can’t give. Disappointed that we wasted money on sunglasses at your store and the lack of employees who can do it. Again, it was a 2 hour drive one way, didn’t think I would need to call to see if anyone working today could do it. Edited to add that 4 days have gone by now and not one member of their management team has bothered to reach out.
