Target — Attraction in Richfield

The Walmart of Richfield.

No matter when you go, the place is DESTROYED. Last Sunday at 10 AM, it literally looked like the day after Black Friday: aisle after aisle was a complete and utter mess. The only section that seems "maintained" is grocery. Don't bother going there looking for shower curtains, other bath supplies, curtains in general, men's socks and underwear: the shelves are ALWAYS 2/3 empty. COVID supply chain issues are no longer an excuse: if I can buy socks at Macy's I should be able to get socks at Target. The parking lot: trashed and unmaintained--litter everywhere.

Then you get to the endless waits to check out. Only the grocery self-checkouts are open the majority of the time. The self-checkouts on the home-furnishings side; closed unless its a weekend afternoon. Then, there are only every three cashiers working registers. (Oh and the one guy in his wheelchair who will check you out at the checkout pop-up by beauty--like JUST OPEN ANOTHER REGISTER!!!!!) I have LITERALLY seen the grocery self-checkout stretch into the produce area of the store.

Besides electronics, good luck finding someone who works there to help you. Everyone else you see is too busy filling online orders--and they refuse to look at you, let alone help. Literally, the majority of the time they have earbuds in.

I am well-aware I sound grumpy old man, but the reason I go to Target instead of Walmart was because Walmart was always trashed, unmaintained, and had long lines. But nowadays, I see less and less of a difference--except Walmart has...

This store has managers (those overseeing the cashiers) who would rather escalate the problem than provide basic common courtesy to resolve the issues which they themselves created. This experience totally ruined my evening, and it was just exhausting. It should and could have been avoided. My bill was rang up for over $600 and it seemed outrageous, but it was too hard to tell on the screen what I was being charged for, so I wanted to just save the time of those in line by voiding it all and going to the end of the line to start fresh. In the middle of voiding the transaction, the cashier's manager came up and tried to pull him away from the register - but he's the only one who knew where my coupons and gift cards were, so everyone wastes time looking for them, and I'm sitting there visibly worried because my gift card had $150 on it. The cashier's manager then made a huge scene, treating me rudely in the process, and worsening an already embarrassing and frustrating situation. For whatever reason they even called up asset protection, basically a plain clothed security officer. It was completely unnecessary and mortifying. I never have these experiences at other target stores. I urge you all to go shop at another location, of the many options in a five minute radius of this one. I got $5 off for dealing with over an hour of utter...

I visited the store a couple days ago. We are at the middle of a global pandemic, there is a state mandate requiring people to wear a mask at all times indoor, yet some customers walk around the store without their masks on, putting all of target's employees and other customers at risk. The target employees do not interfere and do not call the police to escort the violators out of the store.

I understand it is not easy to confront people but the mask is mandated by the state, and most of all recommended by the CDC and health experts around the world to save lives. It is high time that corporations stopped interpreting which laws / rules they want to follow and started falling in line with the government.

The thing is, corporations like Target and many others, think they can squeeze more revenue / profit by not escorting out law violators but they should think about the image it gives the company, the image of a company that only cares about revenue with little regard for human life and of a company that does not care about its country, government or laws. Not to mention for every violator that you allow to stay and shop, you will lose another customer like me who does not want to risk their lives shopping in an unsafe...
