Target — Local services in Gulf Shores

The store selection was minimal at best with very little staff noted to stock or assist customers. While shopping two managers made an overhead announcement that there would be no approved overtime for workers (despite obviously being short staffed) then started laughing between themselves. As someone that previously worked retail this was an extremely unprofessional sight in so many ways.

Later, I ordered an item online that stated it was in stock. However, when I went to go pick it up, I had received an email that it was no longer in stock and the closest Target with the item was 30 miles away. This means either their overworked employees (that are not allowed overtime) were not able to update their inventory in a timely manner or they sold the item I had bought to others before checking the online orders. Either way I am extremely disappointed in this Target location and hope the workers can find better conditions...

Although it lacks the large selection of a Walmart Supercenter, it also lacks the depravity and insanity that those places seem to attract. Even during peak tourist season it's not a complete mess, and in the off season it's downright "ghost town" vibes inside. The prices are usually competitive with Walmart and Amazon and sometimes better, but beware "Target Math": they are known for pricing shenanigans so it is important to pay attention to details on sales and deals. And also pay attention to expiration dates. The expanded grocery section tends to have expired or old foods on the shelves. They're good about removing stuff if you say something to management, but it shouldn't come to that in the first place. Store brands are a good bet most of the time, too. There is a CVS and Starbucks inside, but no Pizza Hut despite what...

STOP BRINGING YOUR PETS IN HERE The amount of times I have seen fake service dogs and pets in this store is APPALLING. I don’t come here often, and every time I do, I see an unruly pet. It seems harmless but by bringing your pet in the store, you are putting the lives of disabled people and real service dogs in danger. I have watches dogs use the floor if this store as a bathroom. This establishment serves food. Target employees, that is a heath code violation. Keep your pets out if the carts where people’s food and children go. ESAs are not service animals. Putting a vest on your dog doesn’t make them a service dog. In the state if Alabama, falsely representing a pet as a service animal is ILLEGAL. TARGET. IS. NOT. PET. FRIENDLY. Don’t bring your pets here even if someone online or an employee says you can. It’s illegal...
