Definitely would not recommend. I lived in Batavia most my life and always received mediocre service here but never enough for me to write a review. I have bought Sea Bands at Target (in Iowa where I currently live) for extreme nausea I have, and I needed some new ones while in town for a party. The store wasn't very busy (it was earlier today), and I walked to the pharmacy section. I had trouble finding them at the Iowa location as well but an associate was able to look up the exact aisle it was in as well as where it was in that aisle, and walked me there.
There were no Target employees around so I asked a pharmacist. The CVS pharmacy is separate from Target so they directed me in the aisle they should be in, however my fiancé and I were unable to find it. I walked around the store for a few more minutes and found a Target employee in the cosmetic section. Upon walking up to him, he did not greet me. He was wearing a red washed t-shirt (not solid red, so he stood out), short brown hair, and was working sometime on Sunday the 28th between noon and 1:45 PM as that was the latest I could have been there. I asked if he was able to direct me to where the Sea Bands are located. I explained shortly I was having trouble finding it, and he finally faced me and waited a few long moments before saying, "Uh, I don't know." He looked away again and I said "Well, can you maybe look it up at all? I can't find it." He stared at me for a few more moments without saying anything, completely blank expression. I looked down and noticed he had a walkie-talkie as well as a scanner in his hand, two methods he could have helped me with. He could have called another associate through his walkie-talkie who could assisted me, he also could have looked it up on the same handheld system I saw the other Target associate look it up on. My brother's girlfriend is an Executive Team Leader at a Des Moines Target location for a long time now. Because of that, I am very aware of the great customer service she and stores surrounding strive for. However, this store is lacking respect for customers. As a food service manager, I know just how important customers are to a business.
After being in the store fifteen minutes, having to track down a simple employee, and receiving no help at all, I told him to just forget it and to not even bother, walking away and clearly letting him know I was unsatisfied with his apathetic expression.
For a simple experience, he ruined my frequent visits to Target. Target is pricier than Walmart but I used to go there to get all my grocery supplies. However I have been dealing with awful gastrointestinal issues that make me extremely nauseous, and so for me, finding simple Sea Bands would have made my day much better because they help me monumentally. I will refrain from going to Target back home in Iowa as well; Hy-Vee is just as overpriced (with better meat) so I might as well go there for all future grocery purchases.
TL:DR; Would not recommend. Walmart 2 minutes down Randall is a better choice; just as clean, organized, and open much later. And at least you'll find an...
   Read moreSo i forgot I called and asked the same question a couple hours ago and I asked the same question I did before and the man said I already got this question and I remembered and apologized several times saying "I'm so sorry I forgot" and "sorry I forgot" but the man started getting angry and yelled at me and I don't get why I told him sorry and he said he didn't want people calling him over and over again asking the same question but I think as a employee you should get used to people asking you similar questions and so the employee went on this 5 minute talk well in a yelling kind of tone telling me to stop calling but I'm just trying to get a item that was out of stock and another kind employee told me I should call the day before shipping days and I did that today and I got the most worst experience the next time that happens I will ask for the employees name and talk to the manager about him/her because this is probably the first time this happened every employee I have talked to was nice and kind I've asked the same question before and they were like "it's fine" and "call back tomorrow I can give you better answers" but this experience...
   Read moreI went to target with my mother and siblings and one of my younger brothers had opened a small box of candy and (we are gonna pay anyways) and when we went to checkout, a not so nice employee called “Dom” attended us and my mother given the almost empty box to him and he said “you don’t want this” and my mom said “ yes we’re gonna pay for it” and his face seemed agitated and upset. I was going to pay for something else and there was an ice cream that my brother put in the cart randomly and I had put the ice cream in a place where I wasn’t gonna buy it( because if I had wanted the ice cream I would have put it on the belt) and he scanned it and I told him “I don’t want the ice cream” and he clunched his fist in anger. And i apologized I said “im sorry” and all he said was “you’re good I am just trying not to crash out”. It’s not my fault you have to do your job. It’s not like you’re getting payed less for removing something from the cart. But overall, I wasn’t pleased. So, make sure you check who you’re hiring. Hire people who can accommodate people’s needs and not get mad at a customer who wants to have something removed...
