Many of the chain stores (WalMart, Target, Sears, Barnes Eyemart Express,
etc) will do adjustments for free, if you ask them.
But, this is a slippery slope. If they keep giving away their services,
without a purchase, then they may change that policy in the future. There
was an article, quite some time ago, about the ethics of abusing the
retailers...
They're providing a service. It won't hurt to *offer* to pay them
something. It takes them just a minute to make the adjustments, so a few
dollars would be appropriate. The private optician in my town charges
(around $5) for adjustments.
