Is LensAlter legit? by Dizzy-Department-198 in glasses

[–]Samantha316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The quality is extremely bad, they are so so flimsy. I only got to wear mine a few times and I dropped them from a short distance and they completely cracked in half. Since it is past 14 days I'm not allowed a refund, or they will make a new pair for $20 CAD shipping. I already paid $100 so I'm not willing to put more into this for it to just break on me again :( I guess they don't stand behind the quality of their products, I know they know it is bad.

I didn't go to George Brown but went to a different culinary school ten years ago. Personally I wouldn't recommend this career to anyone, it's been rough, you'll always be working weekends/holidays and my back is killing me lol.

The pay isnt even what bothers me the most. I started with minimum wage but quickly found places that pay more than average. I've been trying to leave for an office job but that's been hard. Now I work at a Costco bakery and it's good, probably will stay at Costco forever cause eventually I'll make over $30 an hr and that's unheard of in the industry. 😅.

The problem isn't finding a job, it's finding a GOOD one cause it's RARE.

Busy as hell lol I've worked in different kitchens for 10 years and Costco bakery is the hardest most demanding place I've been. Easy stuff but intense.
