Target — Local services in Newport

Who could want anything more? it's Target...I have to question anyone who complains about this specific Target when comparing to the alternatives..Sure there are tons of things I don't like if I were comparing on a national level of other Targets I've shopped at but the bar is much lower in this area when considering the alternatives...Although Meijer is giving Target some competition. While this isn't the most ideal big box store I have used, for this area it's the best around. Target also carries many of my favorite brands that I can't find in other stores...Surprisingly this Target also carries the brand of sparkling water I like along with a good selection of foods when needing to make a last minute charcuterie board ... Target employees are also friendly, professional and look well put together and what a consumers or at least I love about the Target brand... As mundane as that may seem, many big box stores seem to focus so much on "low prices" they fall short remembering the employees are the face of a brand's reputation...Target nails it by having employees wear their brand colors..Unlike competitors who have employees wear regular clothes assuming everyone dresses " professionally". Shopping is about the experience and I personally don't like shopping in a store where everything looks messy and cheap... Hence why I refuse to shop in person at Walmart especially the local Walmarts here...Every Walmart I have ever shopped at no matter where the Walmart is located especially in Kentucky, employees seem as if they've either rolled out of bed or just stepped out of the trailer..A person does not need to make a lot of money to tuck in a shirt or press a pair of pants...Regardless of a person's job, they should always dress for the job they want and not the one they have..Plus it's very off putting when I see Walmart employees outside smoking.... Target is my first choice and best runner up when purchasing staple and family items since Whole Foods and Trader Joes aren't close by..Plus they scored enormous extra points when I was able to find Veuve Clicquot Champagne I like using when making a beurre blanc...

Electronics department staff were incredibly kind and helpful two weekends ago. My daughter and I had just shopped for items for her first apartment and when we went back to her car the remote would not unlock the door. Very oddly, the actual metal key (that works in the ignition) did not open the door - I still have to take that up with the dealer who sold us the car used. The staff at the electronics desk, and one particular man, was incredibly thoughtful and industrious in helping us. He found items in the store to open the key fob and a close enough button battery (exact size was not available), to get the remote working again. Another employee provided some advice about where to go to find the exact battery once we were on the road again. And yet another employee made sure to help the other customers that stopped by while the first was helping us. They worked as a team to provide great service to all the Target electronics customers. My daughter and I were just moving her there from Pennsylvania and had no one to call to help us or bring the other set of keys, so we were very grateful to the Target electronics department personnel, especially the man who worked so hard to get the remote open and a working...

My Girlfriend needed a new cell phone and so we do our research and see that Target offers a pretty great deal with their BrightSpot cellular plan (powered by T-Mobile). She buys a brand new Nokia Lumia with Windows 8 and the "cellular specialist" sets up the phone, the internet doesn't immediately work and we're told that it's normal and we'd have to wait a few hours - the entire day passes and still doesn't work. She goes in the next day so they can work on her phone, the "cellular specialist" spends 1.5 hours on the phone with the BrightSpot people, lo and behold it still doesn't work. She has to leave for work so we go back together the next day and again the "cellular specialist" pokes around on her phone for hours. Three hours later we decided to trade in the Nokia Lumia for something different -- we opted for a $20 cheaper phone running on Android. Finally, it works and the issue was in the Windows phone. The customer service desk refuses to give her a refund of the difference between the two phones, speak with manager and he says that the only thing they'll do is give us the difference on a Target gift card. All in all it was a very...
