World Market & Cafe

I have been a long term customer at World Market. It is one of my favorite places to get fruits and vegetables because there is great selection and usually they are very fresh with very good prices. They also have a great selection of chocolates and international goods, baked goods and deli. There can be long line for check out which do move quickly. The cashiers are usually pleasant and professional .There is a beautiful showcase of bakery goods which only the cashiers can provide information about because the products are not marked or priced. Yesterday on March 17, around 6pm, it was the first time I would inquire about the pastries to the cashier (She was on the register next to the door closest to Pembroke Road). However it was also my first time with a rude cashier. Many customers and cashiers are Eastern European and speak Russian. I am not and I speak only English. There was no line at the register. Before the cashier started to ring me up, I inquired with her about the bakery items fillings. The cashier was fluent in English. She stated that she wanted to make it clear to me that she would only answer questions about the bakery goods after she rang up my produce. I explained to her that I was not going to buy any baked goods today but I wanted to inquire about the fillings because I would return later in the week when I was expecting company. She reiterated that she would not answer any questions until she rang up my purchases. I was surprised at her rude and condescending attitude. World Market should post information in English about the bakery goods. Information should be provided equally to all customers. Customers should not be subjected to the moodiness of a cashier when trying to find out about pastries. I felt very uncomfortable by this incident. I hope her poor attitude to me is not because I am not Eastern European. Her behavior and attitude was not normal when dealing with the public.

Very slow and lazy cashiers who take a very long time to serve customers and that why there is always too long queue at the store. It's better to respect your time and to avoid this store...

Okay

Amazing food and good prices

Завжди є якісь продукти з України. Може і не супер охайно всередині але може бути, як для маленького районного магазину.
