Love the products but dealing with the cashiers is another story. Very rude and off-putting.

World Market Pasadena Marie has excellent customer service. Actual associate who understand and helps customer to her best ability. Should make Marie Supervisor or assistant manager. Love to find items where you can not find anywhere else for international.
Also Management should recognize employees who actually helps their store and customer

Such a Los Angeles cliche, but this place’s parking lot is a zoo and that brings its score down. Once you’re inside it’s great, though. Very good selection of Haribo gummies.
