Target

There’s a reason why people make minimum wage. The help here is like a high school cafeteria during a fight. Everyone just looks at you!!! Place suuuckkkks!

For some reason, this target ALWAYS smells terrible when you enter. VERY busy on weekends or after work, so be prepared. Otherwise, always well stocked and never out of what I need. Everyone tends to be friendly and very helpful.

I usually go to this Target to get Starbucks because it’s the closest one to my work. The experience that I had at Starbucks today was AWFUL.
I asked to use my Starbucks earned rewards for a drink and the guy at the register gave me an attitude. He was like «you should have told me before you ordered the drink» and rolled his eyes at me. It would have taken him 2 seconds to just ring it up differently, but NO. He opted to roll his eyes at me, pound away at the register, and give me an attitude.
Then when I asked him a question, he completely ignored me. I told him, I didn’t even want a drink, but I just wanted to speak with a manager. He threw my cup in the trash and ignored me. I’m not in the business to complain and make things a big deal but this employee was just rude and disrespectful. Even when the manager came out to try to «deescalate» the situation, the employee was still proceeded to yell at me and accuse me of trying to get a free drink. REALLY? Here he was making a scene, arguing with a customer, in front of his manager.
The manager apologized and gave me a free drink but at this point, it’s not even about the drink. It’s about the fact that TARGET hires employees who are RUDE, DISRESPECTFUL and have no sense of what «CUSTOMER SERVICE» should be. If that’s the case, then anyone can work for Target since there is no screening process at all.
I came here to get coffee so I could go to work; I didn’t come here to be disrespected.
DO NOT GO TO THE STARBUCKS HERE unless you really have to.

These workers are just very immature! Always busy and very rude employees. Plan your trip to another Target instead. But if you live nearby, then nothing I can say.

I have been to this Target several times and it seems as if each time there are errors in at the check out. My most recent experience I witnessed the cashier ring items incorrectly and completely skip over others. The managers need a training refresh for their cashier team!

Usually able to get in and out if u come early, but today long lines short staffed. Painful

The food at the Pizza Hut inside is AWFUL but the store itself is very nice. The people working there not so much but the store and selection makes up for that a bit.
Love their selection of women’s clothing and children’s.

This target is great.
I love Target stores but I often find some of the people who work for the company aren’t always helpful and most stores have plenty of blank space on this shelf. Not the case with this location.
I went in and did my grocery shopping, finding everything I needed and saving about 30 dollars compared to my usual shopping experience (thanks cartwheel, market pantry and red card) and everything was filled on the shelves. It’s nice to go somewhere and see the store is well stocked and the management is actually paying attention to having their products out.
Yes, there are junkies and there are screaming kids but if you ride the MBTA or live in Massachusetts it’s nothing out of the ordinary and I’m not going to give a STORE a bad review for the people that come inside of it.

Average target here. The shelves are almost all stocked and there’s a grocery section as well. There’s a bunch of registers at check out and enough workers. Carts are inside which helps in the winter. The aisles are generally clean.

They really have what you need despite these exaggerated reviews I’m seeing that maybe steered a person’s veiws on the culture of the area. I haven’t had my cart stolen, ther were never screaming babies, and if you do witness strange costumers and funny smelling bathrooms, then stop gojing into public places. I’ve shopped at roche bros in norwood, walmart in walpole and I see those same tthings. It’s easy to be extra sensitive to sensory when your nervous about the area and paying too much attention to your surroundings because of it. You may choose not to notice it in everett or whereever your from but, i can tell you when I venture out, I see the same things: Young girl cusses and wants something, then mommy relents because she wants to avoid screaming, lol maybe thats why in those areas had more screaming children because they don’t relent. I guess it’s a culture thing, but I tell you what you wont have that many brats I see in these so called better markets. These people are supposed to be «classier» but like everyone says that it seems like these people are uncaring, that’s because your culture (if you arent from the inner city) goes out of your way to impress, avoid typical labeling or portray a façade when I have seen the most underfunctioning families, and problematic thinking than in any other culture. If this is on the list of unformidable locations because of your few trips then opt for your culturely comfortable locations but then again you are there to shop, not observe!
Overall, convenient, good prices, good products, and avoid the media, I hate how stores put the most expensive sections in the front, especilly when it’s flat screens and flashy video game items.
love video games!

By far the worst Target I have ever gone into. I definitely won’t be going there again. They had a poor selection of everything.

It’s like everyone that works here is high, including the management. They never have enough registers open… Common target!!!

I haven’t been to this particular Target in awhile–
Today was the 1^st in years.
I usually frequent Somerville or Everett (or South Dartmouth in the summer).
OMG. Two words: social experiment.
From the oxycontin’d out couple fighting in front of their kid in the shoe aisle to the yuppies browsing furniture to the random kids walking around without a parent in sight to every lifestyle represented, it is truly just plain fascinating.
We love diversity-​we all (mostly) love Boston for that, right? Of course.
But this was world’s colliding in a way that I could see getting potnlentially crazy at times. I am not surprised to hear there was a stabbing or shooting there a year or two back! Zero surprise.

When I first moved to Boston a few months ago, I was looking to go to a Target. I found this one on Unilocal and was very hesitant to go because of the very poor reviews. In my experience, though, it is really not that bad!
Pros:
— It’s a typical Target! It has everything — clothes, shoes, household items, a full grocery store, pharmacy, etc.
— There is a LARGE parking lot, and in the 10 times I’ve gone, I have never had trouble finding a space.
— Close proximity to other big stores (Best Buy, Marshalls, Bed Bath and Beyond, Home Depot, Famous Footwear, Stop and Shop…)
Cons:
— It gets pretty busy at peak times, which can cause longer lines and some shelves to have low selection (but this is true at ANY store, especially any Target!)
Overall: I don’t know why this store only has 2.5 stars — it’s not the flashiest store I’ve ever been to, but it is a great Target!

Pretty standard target. Nothing out of the ordinary. They sell everything from food to clothes to furniture. Employees seem friendly or indifferent at the very least… although it is quite hard to track one down for help.
During move in season (late August/​early September), this place is an absolute cluster f — k. It is super packed and everything is a mess since the patrons put things in their carts and then dump the stuff they don’t want anywhere as they shop.
It took me 30 minutes to check out today and i’m pretty sure just about every register was open. The guy that was checking me out worked extremely slow and seemed more interested in staring at the people than ringing me up.
Also, a section of the checkout area smelled like vomit. They should probably do something about that.

I love coming here because the prices and the sales are great. I like this Target because it’s convenient and I get most of my household items here. The aisles are clean, the products are usually stocked and the service is friendly. The only complaint I have is the lines on a Friday and Saturday night. They should have as many cashiers as possible on the register when the lines are going down the aisles. Other than that, I love this place!

First off, let me defend this Target location from the other reviewers. Most reviews complain about the parking. This is an outdoor shopping center with a lot of big box stores in a major city. Of course the parking lot will be busy. And it’s up to the shopping center to deal with the parking issues, not Target’s ability to fix. If you want to park close to the store, then yes, it’s a mess. Or, you can choose to walk a few extra feet, and park just a little farther away where there is a plethora of parking spots. I didn’t realize people of Boston had such high standards for large parking lots.
Now, my issue with this Target is that the prices are always wrong. The prices shown under the product in the aisles are often different from what the product rings up as. And when it’s priced wrong, it always rings up higher than advertised… never lower. So check your receipts. Sometimes, it’s off by a lot, and worthwhile to go to Customer Service to get the difference back. But the really annoying ones are when it rings up only 10 cents higher than it was marked. Because it’s not worth your time to fight it, so you just leave annoyed that you got rooked.
I generally like Target, but I don’t like that this location literally nickels and dimes me on their prices. Isn’t that against the law?

This Target is, well … well, it’s scary! That’s right, I said it. Like others have said, it is a war zone if you are trying to get there on the weekend. Parking is a nightmare to say the least and the store is a mess. Honestly, if you can AVOID going to this Target, I definitely recommend it. If you’re not fluent in a dozen languages, if you don’t have comprehensive auto insurance or an active prescription for Xanax … just avoid it.
However, if you’re like me and you can’t be trusted to roam the Target aisles by yourself without spending over a hundred bucks worth of stuff, go here. There is practically never enough shopping carts so you’re limited to with what you can carry. Furthermore, the aisles are a mess and 99% of the other customers are rude and obnoxious so you really just want to get out of there.
If there are «People Of Walmart» and «People of Market Basket» websites, this is the perfect place to find people for «People of Target» if you know what I mean…

this place is always a mess. shoppers here will always annoy me. Sometimes you have to fight to get and keep a carriage. but I keep finding myself here. Stupid geographical monopoly. There’s a decent grocery section, enough stuff that you can avoid going to stop and shop.
This is Boston’s target… and all of boston goes here. The parking lot is always a mess, it’s like playing frogger trying to get into and out of the store. But it is target and has all your basic needs. So no matter how much I dislike the shopping experience here I find myself at it.
The cashiers have always been pleasant, and the people on the floor more helpful than the people on the floor at the everett target. But no matter how much we don’t like it, I’ll see you there.

This Target is rather large, and the women’s clothing section provides lots of options. (FYI: They’re currently stocking bikinis, so check it out if you’re lucky enough to be Spring Break-​bound.)
With that said, this location can get a bit rough. I think people in the parking lot intentionally try to jump in front of cars, and I’ve been whistled at too many times for my liking. There are usually cops (real cops, not mall cops) posted inside or outside the store. I’m not sure if this is good or bad.
In short, I go to this location on an as-​needed basis and try to get in and out as quickly as possible.
