World Market — Local services in Olympia

I’ve spent hundreds of dollars here in the last couple weeks on several different items because they’ve had a really good sale going on. And in those 3 different orders, they’ve been out of exactly 20 of my items I bought. Not like, 2 or 3 items. 20! It’s ridiculous and I know sometimes you run out of inventory but 20 things in 3 orders is insane and it’s bad customer service. I emailed them about it and their response was just that they are sorry about it and that they know it can be frustrating and to have a good day. Well maybe you guys should change the way you update the systems, or get people to actually check your inventory once in awhile. Some of them were gifts for my kid’s teachers for the end of the school year, and I didn’t know they were out of my items so I didn’t bother getting any other gifts. Then I go to pick them up today and they don’t have them so now I have to scramble to find something else in time. It’s more than frustrating, it’s completely unprofessional from a big box store like this. Also today one of my pick up items was chipped. I’m not going to shop here anymore. Get it together...

My issue is I bought a gift card here and the cashier was having issues swiping the card, so, the cashier took the gift card off the 'sticky part' or the glued part of the cardboard it was on. I ended up losing the card. I gave what I thought was the card in the folded cardboard gift thing (as it folds to be a present) but it was empty. This would NOT have happened if they didn't take the gift card off of the 'sticky part'. While, yes I do take some of the blame for misplacing things. I didn't misplace the whole cardboard gift thing, so, the gift card would still be in there. Obviously customer service won't do anything. Money down the drain. Again, while I take part of the blame. A lot of the blame must be placed on the cashier who removed the whole gift card from the glued cardboard, as this wouldn't have happened, as, again I did have that folded up with the...

I want to give this store a better rating, the store has a great amount of interesting wears. Although I had what appeared to be an invasive loss prevention person (plain clothes seen him interacting with associates) following me around the store making frequent eye contact. I should have said something to him maybe ask them to stand further away. He was typically around 5 ft away. It made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcomed in the store. Totally not the stores fault and the guy probably just didn't get proper training, but a bad experience...
