Target — Local services in New York

Here's the latest . . . . . . . . .

AVOID AT ALL COSTS When this store first opened, as expected, it was immaculate and there was inventory on every shelf, in every department, neatly arranged and ready for the customers to see / purchase. Fast-forward to the present and the store is at best, in disarray, with empty shelves, merchandise strewn about and absolutely NO employees doing ANYTHING to keep the place viable for the customer. Having been a frequent visitor to this store, I can say that I have NEVER seen ANY employee taking care of ANY section whether it is to replace missing stock or shape-up what stock is already out on the shelves. Forget about asking a sales associate a question, you first have to find one! Chances are even if you did, they would not give you an appropriate answer as it seems there is ZERO interest in the task(s) at hand, just punch in, hang out and go home. This does beg the question - who and WHERE is the store Manager and what is HIS or HER function if not to maintain adequate inventory in a presentable condition and make sure the employees are actually WORKING and not hiding or doing personal things on JOB time? In a nutshell, basically, this store has a "picked-over" look and it has been this way for a long time; it has never looked like 'opening day' since opening day. This location HAS to be under-performing and it is surprising that the main (corporate) headquarters hasn't stepped in to determine why and see what's going on. Is everyone asleep?

The Target at 2900 Veterans Road West in Charleston is run much better and is much neater, there are also other interesting stores in the immediate vicinity and the area itself is up and coming with additional stores, movie theater, etc. soon to be available. You'd be better off going to this location initially and NOT waste your time at the Richmond Avenue location - it is doubtful that this store will ever get its act together as apparently no one...

I honestly hate going to this location but it’s super close to me first off I usually go on a Monday afternoon or at night after work... I like how it open till 12am because it’s so convienet but target please get new employees or rotate the shifts because this is horrible.. this is the third time it’s happened to me first it was Essie nail polish I went to the clearance section where there was a couple of polishes I guess the discontinued ones that said $2.49 I get to the self checkout they rang up at $10.89 okay.... I go to the guy who stands there thinking people are gonna steal I told him and he scanned the polish and said nope these are $10.89 I was like well it’s not my fault that someone put them there he’s like well I don’t know what to tell you. Well first of all maybe you should hire more employees and have them re organize the store instead of being under staffed or make sure your employees aren’t just sitting on their phones hiding in corners. Second time I seen these ultra fine point markers which literally said $9.99 I went to go pay they came up at $39.99 what???? $40 for markers?! I told the lady at the self checkout who is really nice about it and she checked with the small thing she’s like no there’s no way I was like yeah go look at it she’s like I can’t leave we’re understaffed you can go yourself and take a picture of it like what? I just worked a 12 hour shift and you’re gonna tell me to go take a picture of something that your horrible co workers put the wrong item in when I tell you that there was legit 7 of them in the same spot there was 7 no customer would pick them up and place them there obviously come employee that was probably high did that literally there is one girl who works night shifts always walking around on her phone she looks like she’s literally stoned any who don’t even waste your time at this target because you won’t ever find what you’re...

I usually try to give places a good review. Unfortunately, there is nothing to like about this place. Very seldom am I at a loss for words. I don't even know where to begin. When this place opened back in 2013 it was incredible. Great selection, plenty of employees, clean and glistening. Now only 5 years later the store is in complete disarray and disrepair.

First off, lets start with the selection. There is none. I wanted some household items? Nah. Shelf was completely wiped. Fine. I wanted to cheer myself with some candy? Nah. Shelf was completely wiped. Needed Advil for a headache after seeing the inventory atrocity? Nah. Shelf was completely wiped.

How do they even stay in business? There's no products for people to buy. No products and no employees. I walk around and I barely see people to ask. If you do see an employee they're either texting or just laying around with a completely apathetic attitude toward shoppers. Who are the managers? Maybe there are none. That's why the place is in such disarray.

The place was built in 2012-2013 meanwhile there's leaks in the roof. Leaks that go through the 2x4 grid ceiling and onto the floor. I almost slipped and broke my neck while shopping about. It doesn't surprise me there was no wet floor sign there. With what little employees they have that usually don't work and end up texting.

It's egregious how a store can end up going straight to hell within 5 years of opening. Especially a Target store. A store revered by suburban shoppers for their useful and quality goods. When you walk in there you'd think it was the old K-Mart right on its decline back in the mid-2000's.

Edit: Check the photos. That's just the tip of the iceberg. The entire store...
