Target — Local services in Moscow

Jonny at the Target in Moscow: Over and above the call of duty. I am the guest lecturer for the annual dinner night of the National Society of Black Engineers at the University of Idaho on April 21. I arrived today, April 20, 2022, and realized that I forgot my Macbook USB-C charge cable. My cousin escorted me to a nearby Target store to buy the USB-charge cable. It was very cold. The 12 minute-walk was like an hour-walk. We met a young man, Jonny in the store. He was on his lunch break but was kind to help us locate what we needed. As we were about to check out, I told my cousin that I’d prefer to go back with Uber. He called his college roommate to come and give us a ride. Then, Jonny said, “I’m on my break, I can give you guys a ride back to your hotel.” He did that joyfully. Jonny didn’t have to do that, but that shows what he is made of. This kid is what makes America the greatest nation on earth. Target, you are blessed to have Jonnys in your store. Honor them and reward them....

I really like this store. Contrary to some of the other comments, I think the grocery area is too small. Well, in general everything is super small. Coming from the Minneapolis-St. Paul area (where Target originates), I am used to Super Targets with a full grocery selection and just fuller selections all around.

I had used Target as my primary grocery store back home before coming here, and I was looking forward to using it again, but it appears that I will have to split a few more reps with WinCo Foods than I was initially hoping for. To be fair, I really haven't had a one-stop shop since I was going to Smith's (Kroger) when I lived in Albuquerque, but Target was definitely my go-to in the Twin Cities. This is still a super nice place to get many of the things I need, and I'm happy to see the red circle here in...

I used to come here frequently, but today will be my last time. I understand asset protection is a necessary part of retail, I’m comprehensive of that. I was fine with it when they were stationed at the store, but there will never be a world in which having asset protection follow people around is a good business move. I felt like a criminal being tailed for taking too long, god forbid I look around the store and don’t just grab only exactly what I came for and leave. Having someone breathing down your neck for daring look at the color options for a water bottle to long is absurd. Target will not receive any more of my patronage after this experience. This may seem small, but I will never ever be treated like I’m engaging in criminal activity for looking to spend more of my money at your...
