She billed me right around the date of the wedding. I lost the darn bill. I&#8217;ve been to her shop since then for, oh, at least 3-4 times, paid a quite large bill for exam and two pair of glasses, one driving, one reading&#8212;quite a few hundred dollars&#8230;and now I get a notice, atop the bad prescription and the fact they only offer plastic lenses&#8212;that they&#8217;re sending the 16.00 to collection.
