Of course. I forgot about that, DC.
Hmmm... Unless Chen is lying. Perhaps he also buys his glasses over the counter because he is trying to maintain a secret identity of his own. (Well, he and Clark share so much in common. Perhaps Chen is a superhero who does his heroics off-screen, perhaps even in another city...) And if that were the case, and if he had met Clark in a superhero capacity, he could be lying to preserve his secret identity. Yeah, I know, that's quite a stretch, but it could make for an amusing story.
I must admit that I tend to block CoS from my mind; it's one of my least-favourite episodes.
