World Market — Local services in Lakewood

Jackson was so fun to "shop" with! What started as a request, by me, to look at some pillows on the top shelves, turned into a full on shopping spree, mostly, because of Jackson's willingness to not only graciously facilitate, but to exuberantly participate, and expand the possibilities. I hate wandering around retail outlets, so I generally only shop in person, at a retail store, to view items that I have already curated online. This evening I went in just to take a first look at sofas, which led to me halfheartedly looking at pillows. Jackson made asking for assistance a pleasure, as opposed to me feeling like an inconvenience. I ended up with three pillows and a big, fake, sheepskin rug, which I'm lovin', but would never have stuck around long enough to even look at if it wasn't for Jackson. Also, I have very little patience for signing up for memberships, so I rarely become a member anywhere, unless I know I will be I shopping there regularly, regardless of the savings, but Jackson was so accommodating, he quickly, and painlessly, got me signed up, and I saved some money that would have been forfeited otherwise.

This isn't the most convenient World Market location for me but I will make the extra effort...

I went there in December during Covid times and had the worst experience. I guess I was hoping that with state regulations, the store would be in compliance. It was crowded and customers did not keep their social distance, but partially because the aisles did not allow for decent flow. One customer there was not wearing a mask, and a few others did not have the mask covering their face. In line, people were not 6 feet apart, maybe 2 feet at best. I am upset with myself for staying there longer than I should have, even thought I left the line without purchasing what I came in for. The store should not be open at this time if they can't or will not enforce regulations during...
