Choosing Beggar Insults Glasses Shop Owner By Leaving A 1-Star Review After Receiving Free Glasses, He Tells His Side Of The Story
Imagine that you own a business. You’re trying to build a relationship with the local community and to bring in more clients—so you offer some free products and services. Everyone should be happy, right? Wrong! Someone takes everything that you give them, then has the audacity to blame you for their own decisions, and then leaves a scathing review on the internet.
That’s exactly what happened to one company that sells glasses. After somebody who got 2 pairs of free glasses and a free eye exam left a 1-star review and complained, the owner of the company couldn’t take it anymore and called them out for being ungrateful.
There’s just no pleasing some people. Scroll down to read exactly what the dissatisfied and nitpicky customer said and how the store owner clapped back.
A business was giving back to the community by providing free glasses and eye exams. However, not everyone was happy with what they got…

The optical store has been in business for more than 35 years and the owner, Dave, said that he won’t let this negative interaction stop him from “giving back to the community.” Now that’s a businessman with a heart of gold, wouldn’t you say, Pandas?
The story went viral after Reddit user Forthe_loveof_grapes posted screenshots of the review and the response on the Choosing Beggars subreddit, an online community that’s 1.9 million people strong and is dedicated to calling out thoroughly ungrateful people.
The redditor’s post got more than 28.7k upvotes and even received a Bravo Grande! Award. The commenters overwhelmingly supported Dave, the business owner, poked fun at the customer. What’s more, redditors pitched in by making other comparisons to show just how ludicrous the customer sounds.
Though we don’t currently know the name of the company or the unhappy reviewer, our team of Detective Pandas is doing its best to uncover this info so that we can reach out to them and get both sides of the story. So stay tuned, Dear Readers!
This is how internet users reacted when they saw the 1-star review
Usually they'll ask if they are for driving or for reading so I find this hard to believe but even if they didn't what stopped this person from asking for help? They will have had someone help them fit the glasses, measure pupillary distance and so forth. Down to them to say what the glasses are for and ask for advice. When I've had to go on my own I've always found staff very willing to help even with what suits my face but I asked for help. I expained what I wanted my glasses for - are opticians expected to have a list of things you might need them for and to check them off one by one? Be reasonable!!
I wonder how this worked. Could anyone just walk in and ask for free glasses? Or are they referred from some sort of welfare agency? In which case, for all the customer knew, the welfare agency was paying for the glasses and he should get the same service as any other customer. Even if you are giving someone something for free, it would still be common sense to me to make sure they got the right something. Otherwise it's just a waste. Not saying the guy should have complained online, but even someone getting stuff for free (presumably because they're in need) should be treated like a proper customer.

That's what my family calls a groaner! Haha #dadjokes 🤪
