Target — Local services in San Antonio

07/28/2018 - 11:20 A.M. We visit this store to buy some food containers and kitchen gadgets. When we are ready to check out we go to the guest service area. There is a Caucasian young heavy built lady wearing glasses. I asked her if we could pay our merchandise there. She said yes with an unfriendly face and added that she was going to finish what she was doing (she had an I-pod cable in her hand) first. I said O.K. and we wait, but she seems to be doing nothing just stalling. My wife said there was a register near which had no paying customers. We go there and find a lady in the middle of paying her items and being tended by a Hispanic cashier. I look at the guest service area and notice that a couple of Caucasian customers with two kids ask the same lady we approached previously if they can pay their merchandise there. The lady instantly puts the cable aside and says sure! and begins taking care of them. I guess we were too Hispanic for that woman and because of that we did not get service or a smile. The Hispanic cashier who charged our merchandise was very friendly and helpful. I commented to her the incident and she asked us who the person was. A personal note to this is that I live in Laredo, TX and most of the customers Target has are Hispanics. I have been in Austin TX too and the same deal happens; most of the customers are Hispanic. I did not expect Target to have an employee who would be friendlier and helpful to people of her own race but the opposite to those of us who have the wrong skin color. I will warn my co-workers and friends about this particular store in order to avoid them a sour experience. Just when I thought bigotry and racial bias were something...

Today a couple who shopped at this Target was discriminated against based on their ethnicity/appearance. Here is what happened. My husband and I just left this Target approximately 30 minutes ago. A couple left the store prior to us. They were clearly Hispanic and the man had a lot of tattoos. As they left the store an employee asked for their receipt and verified their purchase. Shortly after my husband and I left and no one questioned us or checked our receipt. The man asked us as we left if our receipt was checked and we chatted with him briefly about his experience. My husband shared with him that he is Mexican, but looks white and has managed to avoid being discriminated against while friends and family who do not share the same features haven’t been as lucky. We apologized to him for his experience and I left feeling angry and sad and frustrated for this couple. I hope someone at this store sees this review. I will be sending this review directly to the store as well. Do better Target! Another guest saying I’m sorry to this couple wasn’t enough to make up for what you did...

I've never been to this Target location before & I am definitely a proponent of Target over the other options available in the marketplace. But I have never been to this part of town before, and from the minute I walked in the door I was in a bad mood. Now that said from now on based on my experience today I will go out of my way to come to this target every time I need to go to Target in San Antonio.

And I was in a rush to find something very specific, and then I ran into BENJAMIN GREGORY.

I'm so glad that I did, because with the attitude I walked into the store with I don't know if anyone else would have been able to tolerate my negative attitude, he was able too help me get out of that negative State I was in, and focus on finding exactly what I was at there for in the first place. If you ever visit this area of town and are fan of Target make sure when you come here, if you have a question, ask for Benjamin Gregory, you'll be Glad...
