The Sojourner Whole Earth Provisions — Attraction in Greenville

I was a first time visitor and shopper sunday afternoon with my mother in law to be and it was horrible. We both walked in to see the inside of this beautiful store and got hit with nothing but negativity, and this store to me has so much potential. But what really made our experience horrible was the woman working there, and if the pictures serve right on there website I do believe that it was the assistant manager working sunday and she was rude not only to us but to another patron in the store as well. After we had looked around and decided on what to buy there was a patron before us at the check out and he had to politely say excuse me twice before she turned her attention from the computer to ring him up and as we both noticed in how she spoke in saying " oh your ready?" Came across rudely towards him, and yet when she went to ring my mother in law to be up she was rude as well, she tried to over charge on two Jasper crystals that were different in color when the price tag in the bin said $3.00 and yet she said one was $10.00 and the other was $3.00, now if that is true then things should have been labeled correctly, she also didn't bag our crystals either. This woman exuded tension and negativity and yet to be working in a store surrounded by beautiful things that should make you calm and smile and want to work there and to give that calm feeling back to someone but yet to exuded what she did wasn't right, it wasn't right for the store it wasn't right for other people to walk in and feel that and in my opinion it wasn't right for the business either. This post wasn't written to waiver people from the store I think people should still go and see a feel this store out for themselves. But I truely do think that the owner should know about this as well, that a trusted person to help run this establishment Sat with her back turned to the customers till they needed there items rung up, that fact alone should be addressed cause if she truely wasn't paying attention then someone could've easily walked in acting like a customer and walked out with something. And after our visit there we will not...

If you're looking for a delightful little shop with some of the sweetest employees, and that will not convince you to simply buy pricey items, but rather help you find what you are looking for, you've found the right place.

My first time in I tried to be unnoticeable, just browsing and not really interacting with the employees, and the store owner Michelle really went out her way to talk to me and make me feel welcome.

That was well over a year ago, she's not in the shop manning the register as much, which is understandable as the store owner doesn't need to do all the things, all the time! All of her employees are kind and welcoming!

Now that we've covered the excellent customer service, lets get into the stuff they sell!! They have everything that you could ever need and more! Everything that they sell is I believe sustainably sourced so that a huge plus! There is a wide variety of crystals/stones/jewelry/herbs/tea/bumper stickers/books you name it!

One more wonderful thing is that they support their local community and businesses, which is really icing on the cake because it shows their dedication to support the residents of greenville!

If all of that doesn't make you wanna go in there...two things 1)I don't know what else would make you want to go here since, in my opinion, they have the cat in bag, 10/10 on all aspects. 2) You're probably a hater and need to reassess your...

If you are looking to be treated like a 5yr old child, spoken to by staff in an offensive & condescending manner & made to feel entirely unwelcome... you've gone to the right place! I've been shopping there for years & love the actual merchandise, however, it can easily be obtained elsewhere without the demeaning behaviour of the staff. I respect the business owners requests for masks & even gloves. I have no problem adhering to that policy as it's my decision to spend my money there, however, despite our compliance, the lady working that day could not have been ruder in the way she addressed us & others. In the 15 minutes we were there, we were repeatedly dictated to about our masks in the manner one would speak to a child. I had already gathered some items and was looking to purchase more but my breaking point was sufficiently reached, or rather breached, when I found myself being lectured about my mask not 'properly' covering my nose (nevermind that is was, in fact, covered). In order to keep my thoughts from spilling over into words, I simply paid for what I had and left. Quite frankly, I wish I had not made a purchase at all but that's neither here or there at this point. I will not be returning. There are too many other options that don't include being berated by staff members even when you are kindly respecting their policies &...
