Yes they are targetting you, or not so much you as single women with a child walking around at a time that you should be at work if you had a job.
But its not illegal unless they obstruct you, which they don't. I just walk by sales reps like this with a cheery 'not interested' without getting dragged into any sort of dialog.
If the rep is being pushy you could complain to Provident but they like their reps to be pushy and get sales so the rep might get a pat on the back rather than a dressing down.
You might do better to complain to the precinct owners. But don't hold your breath. If Provident are paying to be there nothing is likely to happen.
Essentially these reps are a blight on our lives and we just have to learn to live with it.
