OUTSTANDING customer service. I stopped in Yankee Candle to buy a birthday gift. As soon as I walked in I was greeted warmly by sales associate Tara. She asked me if I needed help and I said yes, I was looking for a birthday gift, and I had a budget in mind. I initially asked for anything vanilla scented, and she went out of her way to find products on the floor that were vanilla and fell within my price point. In the end I found something that wasn't vanilla but that I thought would be a great gift, and that didn't go outside of what I was comfortable spending. Through the whole process of finding the right gift, Tara was soo sweet and helpful and never rushed me, and just genuinely took the time to see how she could help. When I finally was at the register and had paid, I asked if there was tissue paper to include in the bag so I could wrap it later. Tara went a step further and wrapped the item I purchased for me, and even tied a beautiful bow around the handles. If you're in management and have a say in raises and/or bonuses, please give her one or both, if she was on my team, I'd never want to let her go! read more
