Target is good for finding different things that you need now and don't want to wait for shipping or make stops at different stores like office supply and electronics. But make sure you took your patient pill because their check out experience is as bad as walmart now. It took me less time to locate my 3 items in different departments and not clearly marked where to find them, asking for help from a worker to guide me, than it did to check out. 1 cashier had 3 buggies waiting, and the 4 self check outs had 10 people waiting when I arrived. A supervisor comes by and looks and I guess determined that was acceptable as she walks over to chat with a friend that had come in... ignoring the self check out station with a flashing red light "HELP ME". Finally a patron pipes up... HEY CAN YOU HELP THAT MAN WITH THE RED LIGHT. She frowns, says good bye to her friend and helps clear that station. By that time there are 10 more people behind me in the self check out line (now 17 total) and 3 more in the cashier line with buggies (6 total). We are blocking the whole main aisle and I saw at least two people walk in and turn around. The supervisor... she left the area. It took me about 3 min to check MYSELF OUT (and I don't even work for target and it sure wasn't more convenient or faster) because I waited 20 min in line to check out. Had I not NEEDED the items that day, I would have left them in the aisle and walked out. Target will go the way of KMART if they don't get their act together to pay people enough to want to work there and remove the silly rule of only some people can be cashiers, but don't have enough on duty to open up registers or help people in self check out. If the random person can check themselves out, then any employee that isn't mentally disabled can run a...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI visited Target just this past Saturday. I went there in search of finding some good deals! I love Target ... I really do. Sometimes though shopping at Target can be really hard. At this particular store, the merchandise was disorderly, disheveled, and unkempt. So much merchandise laid on the floor and I watched people step right on piles of clothing with no regard. Another issue for me was being able to determine the price of merchandise on clearance racks. Most of it was not priced so you really did not know what was clearance and what was not. And not so surprising anymore, the red scanning machine that are affixed to the walls in Target did not work -- at least not the four (4) I tried. Finally, I don't know if anyone else has experienced this ... but when was the last time you tried to get some help from a Target store associate? Well I did just this past Saturday and I actually felt like I was intruding by asking for help as two (2) associates talked about returning to school, what to bring to the dorm, and best routes to travel. I found myself saying "I'm so sorry to bother you, to interrupt your conversation but could I just ask a couple of questions"? And quite frankly, I do not recall the last time I walked into a Target and had someone say "may I help you"! I thought ... okey dokey ... maybe I'll try shopping Target on-line. I left that store with only 1/3 of the merchandise I was prepared to...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI must say one untrained, unprofessional manager at this location definitely made this shopping experience horrible. I was at this location earlier and I purchased $178 worth of items, after getting out of line I remembered I meant to purchase 2 of my items with a different form of payment. So I went to guest services to return the item and get a refund on the original payment method, and then re-purchase the item using a different card. I was advised by the manager (Sheila) that I would have to wait 24hrs to return the item due to what loss prevention advised her. I then said I've never heard of that. I advised her that I just got out of line, I didn't even leave the store. I then called corporate and they stated that wasn't a policy they advised me that I should have been able to simply return the item and re-buy it using a different card. Due to this incident I cancelled my red card out and I returned $400 worth if items I purchased throughout the month, I will also return the items I purchased on today. This is not a place I would like to spend my hard earned money with. Covid has really changed the attitudes and work ethic in people. They will honestly say anything because they don't want to be at work. I'm officially no longer a shopper. P.S. Learn to hired...
