I wouldn't expect less from a HyVee employee. They are great at customer service, and truly look out for their customers. It's where I shop and will continue to do so. Sooo glad this employee was persistent and saved this woman and her money. These scammers are lower than low, preying on the elderly.

HyVee - their sayings in their ads are 'I'm a friendly smile'. In this case it was oh, so true.
