World Market

Today, I wanted to visit this store with my service dog in-training and was refused entry by an employee. The employee asked me if my dog is a service dog and I honestly answered that she is in training. The person then asked me what task she can perform and I answered but the employee kept probing if she then was for mental support (which 1. they are not allowed to ask and 2. I think she was trying to imply that my dog was for emotional support rather than a service dog). We felt really weird and embarrassed. My dog has been allowed everywhere, including restaurants, grocery stores, and other Worldmarket stores as well. We have never been asked to leave. Our dog is very well behaved and trained to obey. The employee kept saying that they got investigated a lot lately by the Health department etc. When we went back to the parking lot, at least three other dogs entered and the owners were not approached with questions or refused entrance. Puzzled, I went back in without my dog and told the employee that I am in fact handicapped and she could see my plaque but the employee completely ignored me and looked away when I talked to her which was totally rude & unprofessional.
Needless to say I will never return to this store. Why we were singled out is beyond me (maybe because our dog is a bully breed?), when everyone else was allowed to enter.
Just a fair warning for other dog owners.
The whole situation was very uncomfortable and embarrassing.

Not exactly sure what niche this place is trying to occupy in the retail space. An eclectic selection of low priced merchandise. Not sure how they survive here. Maybe good for college students?

And extremely overpriced.

Who wouldn't love this store. Awesome selection of candies from other countries. Cool furniture. The price seems kinda high but I think everything is expensive
