Target — Local services in Alton

I want to give a shoutout to the best checker I’ve ever seen. I was in line on a busy day. Some old hag ahead of me had some mix up and her whole cart had to be voided. It was her fault but the checker was calm and assisting her. This haggard old bitty all of the sudden went ballistic. Cussing up a storm in the check out lane. She started to start insinuating some homophobic things, and another woman in line started addressing her. A manager came up and sent the vial she-beast to customer service. The smell of stale newports, mothballs, and sulfur followed her leathery husk of a shell as she shuffled away. Our checker was so kind, calm, and professional. I could tell they felt upset that they had an upset customer even though it wasn’t their fault. I am blewn away at their calm nerves and professionalism. I’m not sure what target pays their staff but Gordon needs every benefit and raise known to man after going toe to toe with a swamp witch.

There were no apologies, and I now realize why their stock of Magic cards was so high; THEY DON'T ACTUALLY WANT TO SELL THEM TO PEOPLE. Have fun with that, Target of Alton. Try some actual customer...

This Target store is conveniently located off Homer Adams Parkway. Large parking lot with plenty of parking. Hasn't been overly crowded in the store whenever I've shopped there. I love Target, but I wish they could keep their shelves stocked. Target Circle is great for helping to save money and the wallet option lets you check out fast. I was happy to walk right up to the register and have my items checked out. Other Targets I have visited have LONG lines. I usually shop at Target for groceries, but I also occasionally buy clothing or items for my home. Being able to order through the app and drive up to get my things is nice, especially with COVID. Delivering to my home...
