Target — Local services in Tampa

I had a huge issue with this Target just yesterday and had to escalate it to corporate.

I had a gift card but unfortunately the cashier chose not to use my gift card thst I physically hand it to him, instead and he put it all of my purchases on my Target red card debit card. .. . Unfortunately him doing that caused my debit card to go into the negative balance and my bank charged me $35!!!

I physically handed the cashier the gift card and told him to make sure my purchases are put on the gift card but he chose to ignore it. Now I am out $35 in bank service fees!

I called management and their manager Brandon could give a f--- and never even offered an apology.

Therefore I had to escalate the call to corporate and thankfully I had a wonderful client relation expert who reached out to the clueless manager named Brandon at the Tampa ( Walters crossing location location) and had she had to educate him to what all happened as he was clueless about what happens when you charge a debit card when i did NOT have enough funds in my bank account.

That is why i specifically asked for it to go on a gift card!

Thankfully to the wonderful customer relations representative in corporate she reprimanded him and made forced him to do the right thing unfortunately my bank account still reflects - $35 in overdraft fees but I was offered a gift card in conversation. I told them I don't ever plan on shopping at Target ever again in my life because this is not the first incident I've had with Target.

So I will guess gift the $35 gift card to someone else as I stand by my boycotting Target forever!

By time I exerted all that energy having to deal with the screw up at Target I was in complete tears over the phone with the Proactiv customer relations expert and I so appreciate her and she heard my concerns and I can hear the empathy and her voice regarding everything I had to endure simply because of the cashier was lazy and did not listen and hear my request as a customer.

I was LITERALLY CRYING OVER THE PHONE WITH THE CUSTOMER RELATIONS EXPERT DUE THE STRESS OF THIS SITUATION, AS WELL AS CAUSING ME FINANCIAL STRESS WITH MY BANK!!!

Not to mention their cloths USED to be good but now even in any size Department? the colors and choices are hideous.

I don't think anyone ever looks good in mustard brown or green khaki shirts. The cloths look like they are distressed washed too which even makes it more of a horrible presentation, as I like to look appropriately put together not like I bought my things at Salvation Army.

Actually that's a great place to find some unique items so I am choosing to go to thrift shops and consignment shops at this point since Target cannot seem to get their act together.

• the other major issue with the target at Walter's Crossing in Tampa, Florida is the fact that it is a very challenging store for disabled person to even attempt to shop there.

You have to go into a parking garage and there are very few handicap spots, so you are forced to find any parking spot you still have to walk a pretty far distance, then get on an elevator to go to the third floor and then walk even further just to enter the store.

Again another reason why I will never be shopping at Target again, especially at the Walter's Crossing location in TampaFL because they clearly do NOT take into consideration how inconvenient this is for disabled people!

Also they have magnets on their shopping carts so you can NOT take your purchases to your car using the shopping cart. You have to carry everything.

I they are more concerned about the cost of a shopping cart NOT making it convenient for their customers!

At that point I was exhausted and it's just not worth my time and energy to even bother going back to that location nor any other Target again. I told them to cancel My Target Redcard as...

Discrimination at its finest! I grabbed two clear containers and a brown plastic file cabinet and went to check-out. I normally like to check-out with the cashiers at the registers but there were people at those registers and I noticed the self check-out lanes were empty. I scanned one clear container, and then the next, and as soon as I scanned the brown cabinet, I was stopped by an employee, who said she needed to check that I didn't put anything in the cabinets. Really??? Wow! Basically accusing me of putting stuff in the cabinets... I wonder what high-priced items she thought she was going to find. Mouthwash? Toothpaste? SMH!!! She claimed it was "policy" to do this. If indeed this is policy, and they are going to try to stop, accuse, and humiliate everyone that trys to purchase these items... 1... the self check-out lanes should be done away with....2... they should have signs posted that inform customers that these cabinets will be searched.... 3... they should be searched before a customer scans items (and not in mid-scan).... or 4... they should designate someone at the exit to inspect all cabinet-like items! How accusatory, unprofessional, and discriminatory they were to stop a customer WHILE HE WAS SCANNING HIS ITEMS to perform this "check." I am not white. I guarantee you if I was white and wearing a polo shirt, cargo shorts, and sandals that I would not have been stopped! I spoke to the manager and he stood behind this "policy" and said "I don't know what to tell you," and claimed they stop everyone to check these cabinets... Totally unprofessional! ...
