Fruitful Yield — Local services in Proviso Township

(edit) This is a 'follow up' to an encounter with a rude and unprofessional vendor who is not doing her job in the store. Nothing changed. Danielle sits at a mini table loaded with products, only this time, she did not even stop scrolling on her phone ... let alone look up, when customers entered. With the automated doors it is obvious when someone is entering. I specifically went to Fruitful Yield to buy 20 personal care summer party favors, like SPF lip balms and skin and hair care products. Whole Foods got my business for that. To be fair, there was a young man doing a kombucha beverage demo, who did an excellent job of representing the product and store.

It was obvious she was very honest just from the way you could tell she loves her job. The young lady’s name was Danielle. I will be coming back to your store just because of how Danielle treat me and because of all her knowledge about many of the products...

Just left the store to get essentials and peruse gift ideas. A brand ambassador visiting the store named Danielle, was sitting at her mini table full of products near the entrance. She did not look up or engage with any customers milling about that area ... again. She looked to be bothered and was confrontational when I asked a question earlier this year.
