Why did the optician do this?

The frames I ordered were in this really ugly yellow. I told them that I wanted them in a different color, and I am pretty sure I straight up called the yellow ugly to them.

She ordered it in purple, I went to go pick them up, and she had both the yellow and the purple frames out. The lenses were in the yellow.

I get what she was trying to do, she wanted me to try on the purple to see if I liked them.

But it still seemed odd to have them put in the yellow. She had to switch it over and I literally heard like 3 people back there trying to figure it out, and she even came back and said something about my lenses being thick.

I guess I am just curious, the logic behind it seems odd. Wouldn’t you put the lenses in the ones I ordered and then swap if I didn’t like them? It seems like her way was more difficult in the long run. I was worried something was going wrong, it took quite a while.

It really isn’t a big deal. I am just a bit confused, is all.
