Target

Absolutely the worst customer service. The employees are terrible. The manager agreed with my assessment of the store and told me that’s why she was quitting. She also instructed me to call corporate which was even worse of an experience. No one cares.

This is a review of the target (now CVS) pharmacy. My doctor prescribed me a medication and I went the next day to pick it up. The technician said they never received the script. I called my physician and had them re-​order the medication. It took them almost 3 hours to refill the script. When I went to pay they told me this had already been ran through my insurance. Then, they realized that they had indeed already filled the script the first time. Since this pharmacy has transitioned over, it’s less time efficient, customer service is terrible, and they seem to not know what they’re doing. I will be transferring all of my scripts to Walgreens from now on. I used to really love Target pharmacy, but it has really gone south since the transition.

This is for the Target Clinic. I’ve had a terrible cold/​sinusitis for 15 days and went in for a sinus infection (which no doctor will treat unless it has been going on for 12+ days — I know this from experience), as I have had them in the past and have been treated for allergies all my life. Sinus infections are not new to me and I know when I have one.
I saw someone named Reana, who called my name while I sat in the waiting room, after 15 minutes of waiting — and no one was before me. It was empty, and it was not a lunch break for staff. I was already annoyed with this.
She drilled me on a ton of questions and plugged my answers into her computer. Her response and diagnosis, while I blew my nose continuously and spoke to her in my raspy, worn-​down voice from this cold: «This is not a sinus infection, you do not need antibiotics. What I have entered into my computer does not mean it is bacterial, it is viral.» I was speechless. She said that if I was feeling this terrible, why didn’t I go to my allergist or the ER? My response: Because I could not get in to see him, and this is why I am at a Minute-​Clinic — a last-​minute resort. She continued to lecture me on how I should be seeing an ENT, as people should not have sinus infections this «regularly» and only 2% of all people get bacterial infections from the common cold (I told her I maybe get one per year during allergy season — and 2%?!), and that she can not prescribe me medication. She advised me to continue taking all OTC drugs — which is the worst medical recommendation I have ever heard. Cough syrup, decongestants, antihistamines– to be continued until I am better, around-​the-​clock, which she said could take weeks. THIS is a sinus infection, I am sure of and OTC drugs were clearly not working, which is why I went to the Minute-​Clinic.
I read her write-​up on me, after I paid and she printed everything out. In her notes, apparently, I experience «moderate sinus pressure» after telling her I was a 9 on a scale from 1 – 10 of pain/​pressure. Since when is a 9, «moderate»? Also, after telling her that I have a sore throat and extremely painful sinus headaches, I read «does not have sore throat» and «mild headaches». Another good one: After blowing my nose repeatedly and telling her how often I drain, she writes, «no drainage».
I nodded and agreed with what she said to me, only because I needed an antibiotic and knew she was the only one I could get it from today. After explaining how horrible I felt, and that this is not new to me, she finally gave in and said «I will give you an antibiotic, but only because you say you really need it. I shouldn’t be doing this because my computer system says, and I don’t believe, that you really have one.» I was furious, but took the prescription and left.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND going to this location. I needed to go somewhere quickly on my lunch break, and have been to a different Target location on the north side, on Peterson, and had a wonderful experience with a very nice nurse. So, I figured Target would be safe. I felt uncomfortable, frustrated, and crappy seeing Reana and she should not be practicing medicine anywhere. I don’t need a smiley, over-​friendly nurse or doctor — just someone who will HELP me, not make me feel worse about how sick I feel AND tell me, basically, that I’m lying about how I feel. I will be calling her manager this weekend.

I like this Target location. It’s in a really great location and there’s ample parking.
This Target is just like every other Target — same layout, same everything. Target did a really good job of maintaining uniformity. Customers can always find what they need no matter which location they’re at.
They recently redid the home goods section. I love it. They made it look very modern and they have a display of what they have. They really go above and beyond in making less expensive items look expensive — this is the reason I prefer Target over Walmart.
The only downside of this location is that you don’t normally get those awesome clearance deals you might find at less popular locations.

This is a review of the Target Clinic, which is now the CVS Clinic. Sunday, after two days of feeling like I was dead from sinusitis, I decided to go into the clinic to get started on some antibiotics before I saw my regular doc on Monday. Since I’ve had this problem for almost 30 years, I know the treatment is always the same: a round of Amoxicillin.
As I was hacking my head off and running a steady green stream of mucus in the «waiting room,» Reana the nurse? on duty called my name. I plopped down, told her my saga, history, etc and requested some antibiotics. Reana, aka Faux Doctor Know It All, schooled me on how «green» doesn’t mean anything. «No,» she wouldn’t prescribe anything, but would recommend an OTC med: nasal spray.
Good job, Reana. Gee. Why didn’t I think of that?
Anyhow, just got back from my REAL doctor. Diagnosis: acute sinusitis and bronchitis. Meds prescribed: antibiotics 3x daily.
Word to the wise. Save your time and skip this joke of a clinic.

The employees don’t check id’s when someone spends over $ 800 with a skimmed card at this location. And the management gives 0 cares that a criminal walked away with that much worth of merchandise while a mom with a 6month old now have a completely wiped out bank account. «We’ll let security know» Without taking ANY of my information… I can only assume this target is full of low life criminals and employees that can’t do their jobs.

It’s Target… what is there to say? My life comes from Target, haha! Great store, professional and helpful employees. I love Target.

I waited in line on a Monday evening for 15 mins only to have their eft machine stop working. So they moved me to a different register, unpacked my bags and re-​rang every item — all of this (I understand it happens) but the cashier didn’t give me all of my bags. So I had to pay $ 15 for an über back to the store to pick up $ 30 worth of items I had already paid for. The offered me a 20% off coupon — which could’ve been clipped out of their weekly ads, and never placed the coupon in my bag. I had to argue to speak with a manager and at the end of it, the person talking to me put the phone down thinking I couldn’t hear what she was saying and I heard her just talking shit about how I’m crazy. Terrible experience.

I generally avoid big box stores because I like making quick trips where I get a few basics and I’m done, plus I can’t handle lots of people or long lines. This Target has never been an issue for me though. There’s plenty of parking, the area around the store is not a total cluster f on Saturdays (yet), the store never seems packed (unlike the one off Diversey near Logan Square– total nightmare) and my trips are relatively short, yet I’m able to stock up on items that I may not be able to find at a local Walgreens/​CVS. Example: Packs of La Croix in Mure Pepino flavor! Keep it coming Target.

Target Clinic Review
This is a decidedly mixed review. I went for a flu shot. The nurse administering the shot was excellent. It was done professionally, the facility was spotless and I was in and out quickly.
However, prior to going there I compared prices and found Target Clinic to be very competitive at $ 31.99. What they DIDN’T tell you was they charged you $ 15.00 «Administrative Fee» just to process the claim through your insurance company. Guess what, my insurance company only covered about $ 2 of their administrative fee, so I was stuck paying the remainder — three weeks after the shot when the bill came in the mail. A nasty little surprise.

I enjoy shopping at this Target because of its spacious parking garage and well-​organized layout. There is a Starbucks & café right by the entrance on the second floor. They have a fairly good selection of items including groceries, a pharmacy and the other typical things you find in a Target.

As a Target shopper, I’m pretty loyal to one location in the city I find easy to navigate. After a peds appointment nearby, I decided to baby wear my infant and check this one out.
Most, if not all Targets, are the same in layout and design: dollar section up front, women’s clothes next to it while walking around the loop of the store. I really liked this Target because the Starbucks/​café are right at the entrance starting the loop. It’s probably genius marketing, but it makes sense to me especially since it’s all one floor. I generally hate the one floor layout Targets in the city because they’re so overwhelming. I’m looking at you Target on Elston. Instead, this Target felt easy to navigate and shop, not overwhelming at all.
I like this Target for its easy to shop layout and great parking underneath the store. The straightforward design of the store and close proximity to our peds makes doing return trips to the area desirable after checkups.

Tons of garage parking with makes it nice in the winter to easily get in and out of the store.
The store is always pretty clean and stocked with the items I am looking for. The staff have always been helpful, the grocery section in particular has always had great staff that will ask me if I’m finding things ok. Other grocery stores you have to pace up and down the aisles for 20 minutes looking for things.
I don’t write a lot of reviews but this is a good store with nice staff. Shopping there is simple & easy, and that’s really all I’m looking for in a target.

Bought a bag of chips here. After finished half bag, we found it’s passed the recommended consumption date for 3 months. Though it’s not an expiration date, we are still not feeling comfortable. And we realized the taste and quality have gone bad already. Wondering such a big shop can sell product like this. Will never buy food from there any more.

Like most people I love Target but i cringe when I come to this one.
Every time I am here there seems to be weird things around me happening… one instance… an employee was yelling at her boss/​supervisor/​shift leader in front of the changing rooms in the back corner. The boss proceeds to walk away then then employee starts verbally bashing her in front of all the customers. It was incredibly rude. I was very uncomfortable.
I’ve also found that people «hang out» here later at night on the weekends and the employees seem to have an apathetic attitude towards their work ethic.

This Target is really big and has an extensive grocery section. Very good for all your household needs.

I ordered an item online, and the item was only available for store pick-​up at this Target location. This is a full-​sized Target location, and relatively new. This location has a Target café and a Starbucks. There are even cart lifts/​escalators like the City Target location on State Street. However, the employees at this store are less than helpful. I was the only customer in line and I had to wait over ten minutes for my online order. I hate to say this, but even Kmart gets me my orders in single digit times! The employees in the electronics department must have been wiped out from Black Friday because even today, they couldn’t even point me to where the micro usb cables were located.
If you’re OK with self-​help/​navigation and poor customer service, then this location should be your Target location of choice. I find the busy State Street location and Kmart to be far superior. However, this location is well-​stocked, so if you’re keen to pick up an order in-​store, you’re most likely to find it here or in South Loop.

This target is really out of the way for me, but they do in store pick up, which was convenient. The location is about a 10 minute walk from the CTA red line, and directly next to a Division bus stop. There is also a covered parking garage.
The store was very clean and well stocked. Guest services very friendly and the line moved really quickly. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes!

ON TARGET
This is the new target that is located on the Cabrini Green property. There was much controversy over the last few weeks about the opening. The news covered only the people displaced and not the fact that a new retailer was building in the area. I just felt sorry for Target because it just seemed like bad press.
Target promised to employee 75 former residents who were displaced by the new store. Unfortunately none of those jobs would be in management because Target said it wouldn’t be fair to its current employees. Hopefully some of those new employees shine and move up the ranks.
So enough about the politics and lets talk Target! Am I happy about this new store? I guess I am because it is the closest Target to me. I could walk here if I wanted to. But honestly there are so many Targets around me and I feel surrounded. Target has our city covered.
This location has a parking lot below with plenty of parking and the store is located above. It is everything you would expect from a Target. It’s the same from store to store. If you have never been in one, then have you been hiding under a rock?
So if you live in the area then this is your Target. The Gold Coast is only about 10 blocks away from here and with all the Dominick’s going away this Target may be exactly what the neighborhood needs.

This is a shiny brand new Target. It looks bigger than it is because it is built above the parking lot, which is great if it’s raining, snowing, or even scorching. There are many bike racks in the garage also!
There are stairs, an escalator, and an elevator to get up to the store. Immediately there is a Pizza Hut, Starbucks, and customer service. Beyond that, the layout is just like any other Super Target with a department store and grocery area.
It’s a jolt of suburban sprawl in the urban condensed soup that’s both disconcerting and refreshing. I’ve grown accustomed to the nuisance of doing the shopping at four different stores since all of them are so tiny and incapable of possessing the inventory to satisfy the persnickety tastes of M. Besides, these minutia places (even the pharmacies) carry mini items: my mouthwash and M’s Tapatio both come in near-​travel sizes and are carried by different stores.
So you can understand why the vast isles seem morbidly obese and the very number of items carried by Target is overwhelming. Suddenly I am flooded with options in a ONE-​STOP-​SHOP. And not only that, now I can get items like socks and lamps — things that were incomprehensible before.
But there’s something communal about supporting smaller stores like Potash and new-​comer Plum Market. Perhaps it’s the child-​size locovore in me that cried out when I noticed that this new Target carried bags of apples for my lunch and berries for M’s breakfast. I am chagrined to admit that this produce seemed fresher than my regular grocery stores.
There are some things that I will note that will probably pass away. These are qualities that I’m sure are attributed to Target simply because it is brand spankin’ new. The store was PRISTINE and the employee to shopper ratio tipped greatly on the side of the employee. Employees were obsessively facing items on the shelves and sizing clothing on racks. I had only to pass by and they would ask if I needed assistance. I’m confident that the sort of detail oriented presentation and heightened customer service is going to erode within a month or two.
