I have a wicked astigmatism and my contacts are super-special order and they still get way out of place. (the astigmatism causes me to have different focal lengths if a + were in front of me the | would need one prescription and the - another)
:edit:
there aren't many stores around here.. This lenscrafters used to be decent
:edit2:
and they took my prescription

And it sounds like the staff isn't all that great either.
Go back, get your prescription back and take your business elsewhere.
I've bought my last 3 pairs at Lenscrafters without any of the bullshit you speak of. Granted, my prescription is probably less radical than yours... but still, shop around a bit.

Must be a regional thing; the buyers for your store suck.

Best of luck.. and if all else fails, the optometrist ought to be able to write a duplicate prescription. Personally, I wouldn't reward a shop that can't train its employees properly.

Damn, no glasses for 2 weeks? That would be horrible.
I also have a bad astigmatism. I have been using Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism for over a year now. They work great.

Every once and a while they'd rotate and fuck with me, but overall that was maybe once every month and fixed by closing my eye and rotating.

I also have astigmatism and I heard about the AA contacts but wasn't sure if they work for us with astigmatism....
