Unbelievable...they're not even willing to discuss their business
model in public, for fear that their consumers will see the post, and
judge them. Below, is the quote from their forum.
________________________________________________
If you are so concerned about it, how about you join the Pro's forum
where you will get a bit more participation?
Many simply don't respond cause they dont' want to have this
conversation in public. Where any CONSUMER can read and think either
we are high on the hog, or down in the basement...
________________________________________________
I have my own business and am very open about my desire and intent to
make a profit. None of my customers have ever had a problem with
that...it's *expected.* My customers realize that I'm not running a
charity, and have no problem paying for my services.
The opticians are the same...they're professionals who provide a
service. Like it or not, their profession is a business...and they
need to be profitable. And, to stay profitable, they're going to have
to learn to compete.
Rude awakening, for them.
