Yes, at a glasses shop, where the doctor is. You can choose to opt out of glaucoma testing. They're probably just automatically checking the opt out box for you to save time, but if you ask, they'll give you the test.
No, there are no doctors at the shops. And even if the shops usually opt you out, my point still stands that wearing glasses doesn't necessitate getting this meme.
OP doesn't realize that an optometrist isn't an ophthalmologist. Optometrists check your vision. Opthalmologists will also check medical conditions like glaucoma.
And opticians make/sell glasses
I posted a long comment to the person you're discussing with, but I want to mention a person could have an eye exam including glaucoma test and have 20/20 vision, not needing any glasses.
