Target — Attraction in Silverdale

Hey we are protesting the target in Silverdale because of the following story... Please come out and take up a parking space or 3 to show your support for this Family!!!

PLEASE PASS THE WORD!!!

Target, I am stationed in Washington State and shop often at the Target Store on Silverdale Way in Silverdale, WA as do most of my Brothers and sisters in arms. On May 30, 2012 my husband, MA2 (EXW) Sean E. Brazas was Killed in Action while serving in Afghanistan. Today, we hung a Gold Star Banner in his honor on the street light on the corner of your store. We called weeks ahead of time to let the store manager know that we would be having this ceremony. The street light is on city property so we were just doing it as a courtesy call to let the store know there would be a lot of traffic on the corner infront of the store. We also informed the manager that the parking lot may have additional cars parked in it due to the ceremony. The ceremony was from 1030 am to 1100 am. The manager told us we were absolutely NOT aloud to use there parking lot for any part of our ceremony, to include parking our vehicles. We politely reminded her he was KILLED IN ACTION protecting our freedoms. She once again denied the request and told us it was "Target Policy". We went ahead and used the parking lot to park our cars anyway. We had several mayors, county commissioners, and service members in attendance along with myself, Seans wife. We utilized the very very BACK of the parking lot to park our cars then gathered near the street corner. While people were pulling up and gathering 2 target employees approached me and asked me what was going on. I explained to them that we were having a public ceremony on the street corner for my husband and we were simply parking our cars and gathering on city property. The gentleman told me this required written permission. I explained that I had asked for permission and was denied.. But this was city property where we were gathering and as far as parking was concerned I did not see any "No Trespassing" signs. I also explained it was 1030 in the morning and there were tons of open parking spaces available for customers. They continued to give me a lecture about how we could not utilize the parking lot. By this time the sheriff had arrived to attend the ceremony and said he'd take Care of it and said we were in no way violating any laws. Thankfully, the rest of the ceremony went flawlessly, no thanks to Target.

I was VERY disappointed in the way things were handled. It's unfortunate that your company is not more supportive of the military, especially of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. I hope someone somewhere reads this and fixes this so called "policy" you guys have in place. Its truly Unacceptable

Thank you for your time

Very Respectfully,...

Christmas Eve day, I decided to head out early, I had my "Christmas" shopping done for everyone else, so I wasn't after anything specific. I ran to Target; shockingly, the checkout lines were very reasonable, maybe because I was there at 8:30 am.

I wandered into the lady's clothing area and was in complete and utter shock. To say it was messy is an understatement. I walked through the lady's clothing area, and clothes were everywhere!!! I have been in Target the day after a Black Friday, and this doesn't compare at all! The funny thing is that men's and children's clothing was messy, but nothing like the lady's area, including the undergarment area! I have no idea what happened, but it was sadly in disarray! Most of the time, it is decent.

However, I have been disappointed in using their restrooms on more than one occasion. Honestly, aside from looking dated, they are messy more than clean, and apparently, there are stocking issues because often, items that need to be restocked in the lady's restroom are not!

Although the general population probably knows what a Target store is, for those who don't know, it is a general merchandise retailer with hundreds of locations everywhere in the USA. Target is a one-stop shop that offers a little bit of everything!

So, do I love Target stores? I honestly can't say I love or hate them; I shop when I need to and they serve a purpose like Walmart. Target prices are steeper, and I feel the broad selection of items is fewer, but people would argue with me and say it's a classier, higher-end store! To me, it's a general merchandise store, not a Neiman Marcus!

I find employees friendly; there is an occasional hiccup, but overall everyone I have encountered seems nice!

Target offers plenty of parking spaces as this retailer shares parking spaces with several smaller stores adjacent to it. Target is also within walking distance of Kitsap Mall, Olive Garden, and WinCo.

Here's hoping everyone takes a stance in 2023 to be kind to ALL living things. Have a...

This is a risky place to shop, if you're worried about getting Covid. First of all, central Kitsap has a very high rate of infection, and the parking lots are full. Second, the store managers don't seem to care about customers wearing masks. I went in to shop for a camera today, walked by a person at the front who I thought was checking masks, and then, when I got to the right aisle, I found three women without any mask at all. I told them that this was state mandated, they said, "That is not a law", and that if I was uncomfortable shopping around people with masks, I should buy on line. They seemed to have no contrition about putting other people at risk.

I then went up to the front to talk with the manager about this, and while I was waiting I saw that the young woman dressed in a red apron responsible for getting shopping carts out of the parking lot, but now lounging inside near the door, had her mask dropped below her nose. By the time the manager finally came I was so fearful of being in such an environment that I asked to speak with him outdoors, where he told me that it was Target's policy not to enforce the mask order, that it caused too much confrontation. I'm not only not going back to Target for a long time, but I am avoiding Silverdale altogether and buying on line instead. By the way, they were out of the camera that they had a model for in the...
