Winkies/Viewkeepers - tanTALK

Does anyone have customers than don't know how to work a pair of winkies or viewkeepers? We have a display pair so they can see what they are supposed to look like but it doesn't always seem to help.

I had a girl this morning that folded one but couldn't fold the other. She was like, "Can't you do it for me?" I said, "No, it's going on your eye and we're not supposed to touch them." She said, "I feel so stupid." I wanted to say, "Quit smoking crack and maybe that will help."

Does anyone else have this problem? Do you fold the winkies for your customers?

I always fix up my customers, but first, i put on antiseptic lotions.

I have done it before for some people... mostly guys who have bad coordination anyways. And I sanitize my hands. But I really don't think it's that hard to do it yourself. She did it right on the first one but couldn't on the second...

No i don't think it's that hard after a few times. They are just lazy and insecure.

"How do these work?" I say, "There instructions on the back. But you're going to pull this off and fold this part over this part and make a little pyramid like this one."

What is so hard to do, you remove the back, open the cut and stick the top part to the bottom.

You can't fix stupid people.

oh my... have you had people that have only used ONE? we found several times over the years where they have use ONE eye piece and tore it in half (jaggedly too) and just placed the two halves OVER their eye lids! RIDICULOUS!

I haven't had anyone just try to use one. But we have had people say (when we ask to see their eyewear), "Oh I have these stickers from last time." Then you have to explain what disposable means. I mean, I'm sure they would protect the same if they were still sticky but after lotion and pulling them on and off, I doubt that would be true.
