Target — Local services in Normal

I've been purchasing items from Target online for a couple years now. One of my first orders was brown sugar and white sugar. When they came none of them were in that great of shape, but I ignored it and used what I could. I've bought $100.00s of items since then from them. I unfortunately made the mistake of buying some more food products from them. Some were delivered from the local store and were awesome! The majority were shipped in and were absolutely horrible. The sugar this time was so hard I could NOT get it to its normal granular state. The brown sugar was so hard that I had to slam it on the edge of the counter to get a single piece to break off. Needless to say, the sugar is now in my trash. I also purchased some cookies along with these 2# and 4# bags of sugar. They packed the cookies with the sugar and they came smashed. The 7 packages of cookies had dates on them that were more than 2 months apart. Unfortunately for Target, I guess I'll go back to Wal-Mart, who I hate, but at least they don't ship food that the warehouse should have thrown out...

Every single time I’ve been here there’s a line of 20 people just to get to the self checkout and no lanes open yet 3-4 people standing at customer service watching all the people in line. Why would anyone come here when you can just go three blocks away to Meyer and have the same product for cheaper and not wait in line at all. I’m so confused.

Not to mention they rope you in with Internet only pricing where the market something for 1599 but once you get into the store it’s 1899 and you’re tot sorry that’s the online only pricing. OK so I’m gonna go outside sit in my car and order it online and then you’re gonna bring it out to my car for cheaper than if I were to just do all that myself? Seems like a backwards...

I frequent this Target multiple times a week and usually find it ok. The selection is less than other locations because it’s a smaller store, and they too often have carts and palettes of merchandise on the floor during business hours, but the staff is usually pretty kind (excluding clothing workers.) however, I’ve been twice this week and had a big issue with the amount of gossiping and inappropriate conversations I heard going down. Management needs to teach their employees what is and isn’t ok on the work floor. I don’t need or want to hear about other employees’ issues while shopping. I’ve even seen some people I always assumed were management gossiping. Get it together people! On my visit tonight the check lanes were a mess. Employees congregating around guest services and no bags at self checkout. What a...
