I like World Market just fine, but had an unpleasant experience at this particular location the other day.
There was a display on the floor full of throw pillows, and it was clearly marked "50% off" and "clearance" in multiple spots around the entire display. Obviously, leading one to think that all the pillows in that display were part of the sale. So I picked out two, went to check out, and they rang up full price. I informed the girl at the register that they were marked half-off...she was nice enough, but she wouldn't honor the mistake - most other stores will.
Fine, not a huge deal, but then some guy off the floor comes over, and very rudely snaps at me, "No, you're wrong, those ones weren't marked. Only (name) ones are."
"Um...yes, they were. I was just there. It says clearance right above them."
For some reason, he felt the need to keep fighting me on it. Very annoying and embarrassing to have to be dragged into this argument in front of a line of people. He's SO sure that he's right that he asks me to waste my time to follow him back to the display, so he can show me himself and prove that I'm wrong. So I humor him, walk back, and show him the large, red clearance sign directly above the pillows I had wanted to purchase. By now, if I were in his shoes, I'd be feeling like a real piece of work. But no, not this guy. Not only did he NEVER apologize, but he would not admit that he was at fault. Instead, all I got was a half-assed mumble, "Well, it's wrong..."
Irritated by now, I decided to not purchase the pillows and started to walk away. As soon as I turned away from him, the guy calls over another girl that was working there - who had nothing to do with the whole fiasco - and he starts yelling at her in front of everyone within earshot, blaming her for putting the sign there. Essentially, pushing his responsibility off on someone else so he won't have to admit fault.
I won't be going to this location anymore, courtesy of this guy who acts like a 12 year old.
