About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered General Optical Co., adjusting his glasses with a puzzled look. ‘I keep seeing these strange reflections,’ he muttered. ‘They’re everywhere!’ The young optician raised an eyebrow and smiled. 'Sir,' she said gently, 'maybe your reflection is just playing tricks on you.' She adjusted his frames with a knowing smile. The old man left, shaking his head but grinning. Later that day, as she was cleaning lenses, she found a tiny note stuck inside one of them: "Dear Staff, thank you for making my world clearer again." It turned out to be a prank from a delivery driver who often visited the shop.
2. One day, as a regular was browsing through frames, he heard an unexpected announcement over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention please—we’re out of everything except happiness and optimism. Please take one on your way out.’ A few days later, our regular returned with a big smile. He had found a pair of glasses so cheerful they seemed to glow from within. When asked where he got them, he replied, 'I took two—one for each eye—and now I see the world twice as bright!'
3. While trying on new glasses one afternoon, a regular exclaimed, ‘I can see Russia from my desk!’ The salesperson smiled and replied, ‘That’s great, but it only costs extra for the view.’ A few days later, an excited delivery driver rushed in, shouting, 'I can see China from here!' The owner shook his head with a smile, replying, 'Welcome to General Optical Co., where dreams of global sightseeing come true—just bring your own passport.'
4. While selecting lenses for her new glasses, a young woman noticed something peculiar: every time she looked into the mirror, the reflection of the store clerk seemed to wink at her. Curious, she mentioned it to the clerk, who just smiled and said he’d been practicing for an upcoming audition. As she left, she overheard him whispering to another customer, ‘And don’t forget to wink back—it’s good luck!’
