About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Orbit Optical, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Smith would often stop by for his monthly eye exam. One day, as he sat waiting in the reception area, he noticed something peculiar: every time a delivery driver arrived with new frames, the store’s old clock seemed to jump forward exactly three minutes. Curious, Mr. Smith decided to investigate on his next visit. He followed one delivery guy into the backroom and watched intently as the man adjusted the clock hands ever so slightly before leaving. With a twinkle in his eye, Mr. Smith whispered to himself, ‘Now that’s what I call excellent customer service!’

2. At Orbit Optical, every morning at precisely 8:03 AM, a delivery driver leaves his truck with its engine running and walks inside without ever ringing the bell. It turns out that every day at exactly 8:03 AM, an elderly neighbor stops by for his daily newspaper, which he picks up from the truck’s open door while chatting amiably with the driver. The two have formed quite the routine over the years, much to the amusement of customers waiting for their glasses.

3. At Orbit Optical, one day a curious pair of glasses appeared on the counter. They had no label and seemed to be made from an unknown material. Every customer who tried them noticed something strange—time seemed to slow down around them. Finally, an old lady tried them on while waiting for her prescription. Suddenly, she started knitting a scarf so fast that it was finished before she realized what happened! When asked about her experience, she just smiled and said, 'Best yarn deal I've ever gotten!'

4. At Orbit Optical, every afternoon around sunset, a mysterious shadow seemed to linger outside the window. No one could quite make out who or what it was, but it always vanished as soon as someone looked directly at it. One day, an enthusiastic new employee named Alex decided to stay late and catch the elusive figure on camera. As he focused his phone’s lens, the shadow suddenly transformed into a grinning old man with a pair of spectacles perched on his nose. ‘Just wanted to say,’ he said, winking, ‘your optics are top-notch!’ Turns out, he was just a neighborhood retiree checking out the latest eyeglass trends.
