Target — Local services in Valdosta

The best place in town. No other business in the area has more dedicated, harder-working staff. The "pandemic surge" in sales, resulting in product deliveries twice the size as they used to be, has continued forward with no sign of slowing down. And, on top of double the workload, there are new and exciting duties such as Order Pickup, as well as taking on additional duties such as receiving vendors, since they dissolved the dedicated receiver position. Curiously, despite this manic frenzy just to barely stay caught up, and retailers celebrating record sales, we somehow cannot get enough walkie-talkies from corporate to adequately and efficiently enable proper levels of communication and responsiveness, meaning that the lucky few people per department which have them are additionally burdened by needing to respond to matters while other, less responsible staff "accidentally" avoid checking one out, resulting in additional exploitation of the workers who care about doing a good job. The managers are notably skilled in tasks such as managing who, among everyone, is in possession of the limited number of walkies. The reward, amongst other things, for this exemplary show of perseverance through this insanity, is for "full time" workers to be getting as few as 25 hours per week. I'm sorry, I think I got a little sidetracked.

This Target store is full of, mostly, the best people, who truly give it their all, and try to make it work with what they have. Even the staff who are behind schedule and feeling overwhelmed will drop what they are doing to assist with any guest questions to the best of their ability.

It is, honestly, both the highest number as well as the greatest concentration of the absolutely best people I have ever witnessed, and they earn this with both processing product, and interacting with guests (again, as best they can).

It may not have the volume, or selection, of places such as W. M. but the prices actually can be quite competitive, and you have the peace of mind that if someone in this Target says that they "don't have any in the back," I PROMISE you, that is the case. There's no need to wonder if they're just saying that, because they don't want to go look, or simply don't feel like doing the extra walking. I think that this absolution and trustworthiness of an answer adds to, perhaps even significantly adds to, the experience.

As a whole, this Target location truly does the best they can, given the circumstances. They appreciate our business, and guests who are recognized as regulars are greeted as such whenever possible.

If I could give no star I would , I’ve been to target and it’s always been a chill place to shop. Today is my son’s birthday and he was gifted a $20 gift card . He was excited . We got to the cashier lady cause it was empty. Typically I do the kiosks but this time I saw a fellow Hispanic/latina that I was like oh let’s go. My people . First of all her face said it all but I ignored it . Then the freaking gift card came damages and she called her coworker for help and they were both trying to figure out how to scan. But I wasn’t mad you know I was like oh well I guess I’m calling target no biggy. But it was the comment the coworker said I’m guessing she the one In charged.Her unnecessary comment with a sassy attitude of frustration “you scratched the numbers away that’s why you should never scratch the access code.” I said nahhh I gently scratched the silver cover away with my nails . But I did see the little tab rolling off and the number are fades . I have tried even scratching it hard right now and it doesn’t come off those number had been damage Plus the barcode was ripped glued to the cover of the card. I didn’t noticed until they mentioned it. But what got me really mad was the comment she did of blaming the customer without knowing. As you can clearly see it’s a damaged card . Saying I should’ve never scratch off the number was really unnecessary. She luckily she didn’t get a different customers who argues for a living 🤣 but shietttt she could have said kindly ma’am apparently it’s a damage card call the number at the back and they will send you a replacement. Rather than accusing me plus with an attitude . 🤦🏽‍♀️ Both frustrated over a gift card smh do better Target don’t hire ppl who ain’t ready to give...

I went to pick up an order. The young man who carried my order out to my car loaded it and said “Have a good day.” At the same time I received a phone call I had been waiting for all day. So I talked to the person on the phone for maybe 2 minutes at the most. Now keep in mind there is like 8-10 parking spaces for drive up orders and only my vehicle and another one two spaces over we’re sitting there. The RUDE YOUNG MAN kept beating on my car window yelling at me that I had to leave immediately because I was taking up valuable space and his time! The person I was talking to on the phone overheard him!! And the reason why I had to resort to drive up orders is because Target just this year ships via FEDEX. FedEx left 2 of my large orders out in the pouring down rain and all of my goods were damaged! And Target nor FedEx would replace my damaged goods or refund me my money! NEVER AGAIN!! Plus Target’s clothing falls apart time you touch them let alone even wearing them or washing them one time! Furious is an...
