About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one afternoon, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Smith was browsing through frames at Rinkov Eyecare Centers when he noticed something peculiar. Every time he picked up a pair of glasses, it seemed as though they were whispering his name softly in Russian. Curious, Mr. Smith asked aloud if anyone else could hear them. Suddenly, a young optician appeared from behind the counter and said calmly, 'No, sir, these are just ordinary frames.' Relieved but still amused, Mr. Smith paid for a pair and left. As he walked out, he overheard two employees laughing and whispering, ‘Probably just another old guy talking to himself.’
2. One morning, as customers were settling in for their eye exams, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention please—your left pupil is requested for a meeting with our optometrist.’ A confused old man raised his hand and whispered, 'Excuse me, but I thought my right pupil was retired.' The intercom clicked off, and everyone burst into laughter. Turns out it was just an optical illusion caused by the new polarized lenses they’d installed that week.
3. One day, while a delivery driver was unloading new lenses, he noticed that every fifth lens had a tiny note stuck inside: ‘Ask your optometrist if you see double today!’ Curious, he decided to test it on his next customer—a regular who complained of occasional blurriness. To everyone’s surprise, including the customer's, when he put on those lenses, he saw two smiling faces instead of one! Word spread quickly, and soon people were lining up for their 'double vision' experience. The owner laughed it off as just another urban legend, but business never looked better.
4. Late one night, while employees were packing up after hours, someone left a note on the door: ‘Your next customer is already here.’ The note puzzled them until an old man shuffled in, asking for his usual glasses adjustment. Turned out he was the last customer of the day and had forgotten to come earlier. Everyone laughed when they realized it was just another prank from their regular who liked to keep things interesting.
