So, where do you buy sunglasses? Order them online and hope you like what you bought? Go to Target? Just curious? Not many places sell several brands of sunglasses so you can try them on and find what you like. But hey, you're cool and think you know more than others.

you forgot hot topicHtownAg92 said:Are we sure that the CFA Karen derail wasn't some elaborate troll attempt? It distracted us from this:aTm2004 said:Looks like you and your buddies have been still meating up for your weekly sword fights.HtownAg92 said:
This is a prime example of a company going above and beyond what is necessary and expected, but it still is not enough for the Karens of the world.
How about you read things before jerking your e-buddies off? No complaining, just not seeing the reasoning for it at first.1. Going to the MallQuote:
Our anniversary is this week, and since we've both wanted a new pair of sunglasses, we decided to go to the mall and grab a pair (also to get the kids out of the house). Walk into the Sunglass Hut and are the only customers there. The employee tells us no more than 2 customers allowed in the store at a time. I ask if that included families, and he said it did. So, it's apparently safer for one adult to wait outside with 3 young kids (1 in a stroller) where tons of people are walking by than it is to let us stay in the store and spend money. So we left. The local Academy sales the 2 brands I wanted to look at, so we'll try there tomorrow.
2. To go the Sunglass Hut
I seriously did not think anyone still did that ever, much less during a pandemic.
Then again, I'll probably be heading to the mall later to go to Radio Shack for new batteries for my Walkman, Gadzooks for a new Corona Beach Club tank top, and maybe Chess King for some jeans.
Yes, online. Of course, I'm not interested in the latest Gucci or Louis Vuitton bedazzled bling shades that need to be tried on. I've worn Ray-Bans since I bought my first pair at a Sunglass Hut at the Mall....in 1986.... so I can easily order them online.

If they are so brave to not wear a mask and say its their freedom of choice, then don't go to the hospital for treatment when you contract it.
Edit: when these badge wearers lose a loved one and come to the realization that they directly may be responsible for their contraction/death, they won't be bragging about their reckless ways anymore.

You're buying into that? Here's a bit of truth that kills your narrative (pun intended)...it was expected with increased testing. I think the media was reporting 1800 cases in 1 day. If that was with 2500 tests, yeah, you'd have a point, but if it's with 100k tests, who gives a chit? Do you know what else? Hospitalizations are not increasing, which means it's what some thought this was at the start...a over hyped media driven narrative.HtownWilly12 said:Buuut they do think it's a badge of honor.

Ahh, you're the kind of person who never changes...pretty obvious. I bet when you're ready to buy a new vehicle, you buy the same make, model, and color as the one you currently have, which happens to match the vehicle you had before that one and before that one and before that one... No need to test drive it, right? Or look at other brands. You know what you like. Just get online, negotiate a price, and go pick it up, because by God, you're a Chevy man!HtownAg92 said:

I'm all for reopening the economy but people should their part to distance and wear a mask so we don't flood the hospital system. No one is trying to take your freedoms from you bubba, just want all of our families and loved ones to stay safe and ALIVE. But you go on and don't wear your mask and call people Karens.

You cant seriously be comparing a car that regularly gets safety, engineering and technological updates to a pair if sunglasses that have none of the above, can you? I too have purchased the same pair of ray bans 4x running now. There are no model years on sunglasses. Wow. What an absolutely terrible comparison.

If you're going to Tommy Bahama's at Market Street you might as well go in Tyler's by the mall. However, just went into Tyler's a few days ago and the Maui selection has not been replenished anytime recently, it appears.

Well, my "nanas" and "papas" are already gone. With all but one of them making it well past 90 and one to 102 they lived good, long lives.
My parents are in their 70's and in good shape. My mother is a bit of a Karen by my dad keeps her in line. He's been out and about all over the place with no mask either. We've seen them regularly since this started. They've both been doing their volunteer stuff at the shelter near downtown where they pass out meals to homeless and dad has been going around doing repairs for elderly parishoners in their church.
He's also an Ivy League PhD who spent his adult life in biology & microbiology and, like me, can review the data to see that this has been a massive overreaction, masks (aside from properly fitted, medical-grade PPE) are nothing more than a placebo (which ironically feed the fear), and society needs to get back to normal ASAP.
My MiL was almost a recluse before this anyway and I wouldn't piss on my FiL if he were on fire. We're planting that guy in Potter's Field.
Even the most at-risk nanas and papas I know are over this **** and see it as a massive overreaction.
The lack of ability of people like yourself to dispassionately review the data (not the BS talking points in the media and from elected officials) and assess the risk for yourself is ridiculous.
There is a reason why Ray-Ban has been making the same Wayfarer models since the 1950's (and why they are still probably the best selling sunglasses on the market today) -- because they are f'ing classic and timeless.

No offense.
Do you know what else is classic? The TexAgs "my way is the best and if you do it another way, you're wrong" attitude of many on here. The way I shop for sunglasses is apparently wrong to you.

Again, you missed the point, which you made obvious by the bold. Brand loyalty is in majority of things, but doesn't mean there aren't other brands out there that can be tried nor does it mean you have to remain loyal to one brand. If you want to look at different brands, why not go somewhere that has several?Quote:

Yes, online. Of course, I'm not interested in the latest Gucci or Louis Vuitton bedazzled bling shades that need to be tried on. I've worn Ray-Bans since I bought my first pair at a Sunglass Hut at the Mall....in 1986.... so I can easily order them online.
**** man, I have 5 brands of watches sitting in my safe, but none are as good as the iPhone/Android you carry in your pocket, right?Again, you missed the point, which you made obvious by the bold. Brand loyalty is in majority of things, but doesn't mean there aren't other brands out there that can be tried nor does it mean you have to remain loyal to one brand. If you want to look at different brands, why not go somewhere that has several?Quote:
And yes, your comparison to vehicle purchases was pretty dumb. Brand loyalty probably is most prevalent in vehicles than any other product. But to counter your label of me someone who never changes, in my lifetime I've owned a Pontiac, a Nissan, a Mazda, a Toyota and a Lexus, and now my second Ford, which was my first ever repeat purchase, necessitated by Harvey. And yes I did get the same make, model (F150) and color (maroon, duh) because I liked the truck before it flooded. No need to test drive another truck because I don't like them. Just like I don't need to see the latest sunglasses some DB or celebrity is wearing because I think they look ridiculous.
No offense.
You're right, I walked out. Having my wife stand outside the store in the mall with 3 kids with people walking all around them wasn't something I wanted to do (now or ever), nor did I want to stand out there while she looked. That's the awesome thing about being able to make choices.HtownAg92 said:So which ones did you choose?aTm2004 said:Do you know what else is classic?

Oh, I forgot. You didn't like their policy so you walked out.
Which Wafarer look are you going for?
WTF are those? Costume extras from Max Max or Waterworld?

Just checked and it looks like Sunglass Hut offers free 2-day shipping and free returns. Seems even they know that nobody goes to their stores anymore.
