Target — Local services in Missoula

Before switching careers and going into media and being a producer, director, etc. I worked in retail for over 20 years. Back when managers of each department knew what they were doing and talking about. At a time when pay was decent. By today's standing my management starting pay would be 55k.

Today, especially at target you have not one person on the floor that has a clue about the company they work for, customer relations, or the merchandise, Granted I am in Missoula Montana and this tends to hold true with almost every retail store and restaurant, hospital, etc.

The art of communication is something that the employees are not gifted with. The staff at this target is 99% white and mostly liberal and are easily offended by my trump shirts and actually complain to management which in turn told me not to wear them in the store. The store also has caved to the left so it is ok to treat senior citizens like myself who is a mixed race like garbage.

Do not try to ask a question to a member of the staff, even if they are a supervisor while they are stocking shelves. they will get confused and tell you I don't know the answer to your question. Could this be the reason why so many people now shop online? I have seen the staff scold an 80-plus-old black woman for wanting to come inside the store during the winter pandemic. they, two young females told the lady with a can that she had to wait her turn like everyone else. The staff was white

I guess also in target talking to the store manager is akin to setting up an appointment with the queen or king now. God forbid this person male or female comes out to the floor to see how customers are treated.

I will NEVER shop at the target again. They are truly intolerant of their horrible service and abusive attitude toward senior citizens and the disabled.

This leads me to the parking lot where I who have a disability placard had to park far away since the spaces were taken by cars without disabled placards. Tell someone in the store and they say nothing and walk away

my previous review Horrible place with horrible rude employees. i visited the other day in below freezing temperatures. There was a employee holding up a line at the doorway. I am 66 years old and disabled and a woman about 80 was behind me. with one person between us. I was going to go in a first drop off recycled bags and shop. That will never happen again! I am sending back my cut-up card and will never shop at target again. The younger Caucasian lady behind me then let two of her friends join the line. This made the old lady about 80 years of age and shivering have to wait longer. I asked the ladies if she could go ahead of us and they said "no". The girl at the door said that she could not cut the line. So they want to limit the people in the store and have one wear masks? But, a disabled old lady with a cane if forced to wait in snowy below freezing temperatures. I asked her to call a manager whose name is Amber. Amber is in a meeting and cannot be disturbed. i ran in really quick on my turn a dropped bags and then ran out so old lady can take my spot. By then a minute and a half later she was getting reader to enter after white women who cut line. I asked one of the women why she did not let the lady go. She told me. Why didn't you? I said i ran in and came back asap to let her in. The other women coming in asked if i was from Missoula. i said no and she told me to go back to the country I came from! I complained to a manager and she told me that the woman has to wait like everyone else and if i did not leave she would have me thrown out. My cut-up cards are in the mail. I guess elderly, disabled and dark-skinned seniors...

Decent employees, okay prices, but do not buy their food. It's like they stuck the parishables in the corner coolers and just forgot about them. I was gonna grab ham while I was there, only to see the USE BY date as 9 days prior! The Use By! Not even Sell By! The Sell By is an arbitrary date when the company says to get rid of it and order more from them. The Use By is the genuine 'ok, this may not be ok to eat after this'. If it was marked as Clearance, like Albertsons does, that's one thing. But it wasn't. Target genuinely abandons their coolers to a Kwik-E-Mart level. I went to buy cheese there once only to see that the cheddar next to it was moldy, and still in the cooler! I told the cashier at checkout and another girl who overheard went "ok, I'll go look". Came back less than a minute later and went "where is it?" I had to hold back from being a smartass and saying "last I saw it was running towards electronics yelling, 'I don't want to...

I absolutely love most of target but the clothing section was incredibly frustrating. I went to buy my mother-in-law some new cloths for an event we have this weekend. She wasn’t sure of her sizing, as she doesn’t buy new things often. The dressing room lady informed us that the dressing rooms were closed and that there is a 90day return policy on all cloths. Normally I’d understand. COVID-19 is an issue and we want to keep everything as protected as possible, but if that’s the case I’d hope that they would enforce their mask policy a bit better. In the time it took me to walk across the store I saw 6 or more people without masks on (or just pulled completely below their mouths). It feels like more of a tactic to make people buy cloths and then hope that they just decide not to return them because of the burden, a money grab. Sanitize the dressing rooms and open them back up. Or actually enforce your...
