Target

I usually have a wonderful time when I come to this target. People are always nice and very helpful. However one day I come into this target on a cold night (cold as in 25 °F cold) after just having dinner with some of my friends. We were bundled and layered up since it was so cold. We entered target and it was pretty warm so we grabbed a cart and put our bundle of jackets in the cart.
I spotted a really nice scarf in the entrance and immediately put it on. I loved it so much that I went straight to the checkout line and bought it. As my friends and I continued a casual rendezvous around target, it was almost time for us to go, so we then proceeded to the checkout line. I had already bought the scarf and my friend ended up getting a shirt. She paid. And we started to layer up again to leave.
As we left the store I noticed security by the entrance. I didn’t make to much of it. So we left, as we proceeded down the first set of stairs one of the gentleman who is at the entrance followed us down the stairs, he beat us to the bottom, and stood there until we reached the bottom as well. He stopped me and said. «We watched you not pay for your things.» My friends and I were so confused. I explained that the jacket was mine and I had already bought the scarf. He insisted and said «no we have security footage of you not paying for your things.»
I dropped to the floor (which was embarrassing) and pointed to my bag. I started to pull everything out. Saying this jacket is mine (it was an arc’teryx jacket). This jacket is mine (a Columbia jacket). This wallet mine (a Vera Bradley wallet). And the scarf that I have on is from target but I bought it and have the receipt for it.
After I finished my rambling about how everything in my purse was mine, the man who stopped me realized he was mistaken and mumbled something that sounded like oh okay sorry and just walked away.
I know he probably worked for someone and was probably told to go handle a situation, but he had no name tag at all and he did not say specifically what he had thought I had not paid for. Maybe an employee thought they saw me steal. But no! this guy said they have security footage of me in the act of not paying.
Well, if your going to use your so called cameras and security footage to ASSUME that I stole please take the time to rewind and watch me put all my stuff in the cart as I entered target. Because assuming makes an [ASS] out of [U] and [ME].

Decent Target! I found what I needed and thensome — hanging picture display, holiday décor, and I loved how organized and awesome the clothes section was! It’s a very organized Target and there’s plenty of parking in their lot downstairs (the Target is attached to the parking lot). It’s also conveniently located in downtown Merrifield, with plenty of great restaurants (like Four Sisters and True Food Kitchen) and other stores. Definitely a great Target to visit if you live in that area!

What can I tell you that you don’t already know about Target! Walk in for one thing, leave with 10… not including the item you went for! Always great prices and great quality products. They have really stepped up their game in the home goods department and womens clothes. Target is my go to place. You could call it my happy place. I love the location of this Target because I can go before or after spin class at Zengo.

Great Target sitting in the heart of the Mosaic district. What makes a Target great? On the inside, the shelves were stocked, prices were clearly marked, check out lines were being run in an orderly and swift fashion. There were tons of workers moving around the store triyng to make everything look great and helping customers. One of the largest Target stores I’ve seen (especially in the Northern Virginia area), but it was being run with the efficiency of a small store. Food section was stocked up as well, which can at times be an overlooked part of these mega-​stores.

I just returned home from this Target and could not be more disappointed with the lack of customer service and the condition of the store. Yes, it’s the Sunday before Christmas and the store is open later than usual, but it looked trashed. I had been at the store off Guinea Road previously this evening, and it did not have the same look.
However, store condition aside, I cannot stand the rude lack of customer service that I experienced in the electronics department. I came for one item, in toys, and walked across to electronics to see if they had some video games and other items that I needed to complete my Christmas list. I could find nobody who cared to assist and when I went to the electronics desk, the clerk in the red shirt was busy, but the two in the black «mobile» shirts were too busy talking and one even answered the phone and handed it to the clerk in the red shirt, yet didn’t bother to think that I might have needed assistance. I understand that their main purview is the mobile phone business, but on the Sunday before Christmas at about 11PM, how many people are rushing the doors to buy phones? If they see a guy standing there with a shopping cart, he either has a question or wants to buy something that is secured.
I usually rate Target much higher than the competition, but employees who still work for the store who are doing nothing should engage in customer service as I thought it was a corporation that had a «team spirit,» moreso than its big blue competitor. Well, I know that they don’t care about losing a few hundred dollars in sales, but I think that the store management should care, especially since Best Buy will be getting that sale tomorrow.
I was so incensed that I only bought what I came for, and didn’t even bother to stock up on pet supplies, though I needed to buy cat food, and went out of my way because I wasn’t giving Target a dime more than I had to this evening. Perhaps if the company can get its act together, I will again think of the store as being better than the blue competitor, but now they’re equal because the staff has the same poor attitude and lack of service that makes me never cross the threshold of one of the competitor’s outlets.

Ed the cashier was so nice and helpful, the is the biggest asset to this company. This store is new and clean and I like to go and shop here bc everything is nice and organized.
Pls give a rise to Ed.

I’m not a fan of this Target because the parking garage is always crowded (although major plus that it is FREE!). I will say this is a big location with a nice selection of items.

3 stars for how conveniently close is located. This is a very big target. I mean it’s huge! Which is why it surprises me how terrible their product availability is.
Products can either be out of stock or just in the back, still very inconvenient to have to ask a team member for whatever you need.
I much rather go to the target in Fairfax… Even if I have to drive out of my way.

Over charges are too common at this store. You better check your receipt at this Target, I have been over charged (never under charged) two out of five times. Even when I asked the cashier to check the price he insisted that his price was right not the shelve price.
Best be careful or shop elsewhere.

I went in to this target tonight since it was close to where I went for dinner. I expected more from a merrifield shop.
Everything was strewn about the store. Things were messy and all over the place. I went in to get a backpack for a hike I’m going on tomorrow and the camping/​spots section was a hot mess. I ended up picking a backpack that I chose because the price was pretty awesome.
Turns out it was hung on the wrong peg and was $ 20 more than what I expected. There was no way to know that because there are no price tags, and they had a number of Coleman backpacks on different pegs. Never a fun checkout.
Walking from there to the counter, I stopped at a couple of spots — you know how it is usually with Target, you go in for one thing and leave with 20 — this is the first time I was turned off by how things were displayed and only left with my 1 item.
The store needs to clean up its act and look like the rest of the Targets. I’ll drive the extra distance next time and go to the Target in Falls Church.

I really like this target because it’s clean, organized, and the aisles are huge. I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t find one of the items that I was looking for because I can usually find it at other target stores. What’s up with that?!

Huge, absolutely huge! I like this Target for the Fairfax/​Falls Church area. But you really need to know what you’re going in there for, or at least have a plan. Otherwise you will end up spending way more than you initially planned.
Organized.
Great customer service. I had a return, kept my receipt from January, well over 90 days, and they gave me a store credit, no questions. That sort of made my day!
For kinky/​curly folks, they have a pretty decent selection of natural hair care products and all of the top 10 brands. From Shea Moisture, Cantu, As I Am, etc. So I don’t have to go all the way to the Target in DC for hair stuff when I’m running low on products. Score!

My favorite Target location! I cannot believe I haven’t written a review for this place given that I’m here at LEAST once a week.
Conveniently located in the Mosaic District shopping center across from my gym (Xsport Fitness), whenever I’m in need of toiletries, cheap makeup, snacks, gifts, socks, etc. this is my default one-​stop shop. There’s an entrance/​egress through main doors (where Dolcezza is located) as well as through the upper level of the parking garage.
Literally unable to spend less than $ 25 here, I come in for ONE thing and leave with 40. Which is ironic because the products sold here tend to be priced cheaper than other drugstores/​grocery stores and department stores alike! Lord have mercy.
There is also a small Starbucks with tables and a small concession stand physically inside of Target I guess in case customers need nourishment after all that shopping. as if Mosaic didn’t have enough food offerings already LOL.
The workers are friendly and always willing to help. And if I’m looking for something in particular, they usually have it in stock as opposed to the other locations. It’s also fairly well-​kept and tidy for the most part, considering the amount of foot traffic they get on a daily basis.
Whether it’s a trip of necessity or a mini shopping splurge, I will continue to shop here until the day they establish one right next door to my house.

Reina in Electronics was simply amazing. She caught me looking a bit lost and offered her assistance immediately. While taking me to the aisle that held my item, Reina, unknowingly checked the Cartwheel app and informed me immediately that it was on sale for 50% off.
Well, I didn’t have the app, yet knew I needed to download it immediately. Who passes up a discount. Reina then informs me that Target has guest wifi. Who knew that!
Soooooooooooooo, I link up to the wifi, download the Cartwheel app, take my item to the register and the discount is all mine. Thank you, Reina, for the awesome customer service. Above and beyond and so very helpful.

I love the fact that there’s a mini starbucks inside this Target store. They offer great array of merchandise at affordable prices.

I agree with Penelope P. and Katie S. about this place! Came in here today to get a few things since this is close to my address, and the place is a mess! I tried to find a few things, only the items were not there because something else that wasn’t suppose to be there was there!
The sales floors are a mess with items all over the place, and the store employees are standing around talking to each other instead of reorganizing the shelves! Take what items I could find to the register. The cashier was nice and he was only on the job for a couple of weeks. Feel sorry for him because of ‘Black Friday’ next week. :-)
Anyway, some of the items were not coming up at the sales prices, and I told him this. He apologize and said that I should go over to the service desk to help out with the prices. Have to give him credit for this since he was nice about the whole thing. Go to the service desk, and told them about the price difference and teh person there was like in a state that I had bothered them about this. They checked the prices on the shelves and refunded the money back with a look like I had done something wrong to make them work now!
Sorry that I had bothered you, but you are in the Retail Industry and it’s your job to make sure that everything is running smoothly instead of making sure you stay up to date on the gossip!
Too bad this not a Super Target, but a Ripoff Target with the prices they charge that is higher than the regular stores and such! Looking forward to Harris Teeter opening next year by the Dunn Loring Metro. They will be getting a lot of my busines bysides H-​Mart and Great Wall even though I’m not too crazy about Great Wall. Stay away from this place if you can, and watch out for the kids and parents all over the place not caring who or what they walk or push their shopping carts into!
This is my 3^rd review on ths place, and this place still has not improved at all!

Review #25
This Target is located at 2905 District Ave S Ste 400, Fairfax, VA 22 031, in the Mosaic District in Merrifield, off Strawberry Lane and Gallows Road.
The hours are Mon-​Sat: 8am-​11pm and Sun: 8am-​10pm
It opened in Oct 2012, so it still has the new feeling to it. I remember when they were building the Mosaic area up, knocking down the old part of Merrifield, and then saw a large Target being built. I’m embarrassed to say I was excited there was a Target super store opening soon. It’s so bright and shiny you can’t miss the eye blinding lights that shout, «Here’s Target, don’t miss it while you’re stopping in the Town Center for restaurant/​fast food or other shopping.» You can even see the red target bull’s eye sign in heavy fog.
The parking garage is free, and the direct level to the Target doors is on the 3^rd level parking garage. You can also take the Orange Line Metro and get off at Dunn Loring/​Merrifield, which about one mile away. Once you enter the doors, you take the elevator or escalators to the next level up, the 4^th floor, where the store is located.
This store has a mini grocery store with a fresh produce section, frozen foods section, cold drinks, packaged goods, and for those who want wine, there’s a wine aisle for those who are in a hurry and don’t want to drive all the way to the nearest liquor store by making another stop. There is a large selection of towels, household goods, kitchenware, vacuum cleaners, fans, clothing and accessories, tools, beauty and toiletries section, and office supplies. They even sell a few bikes with cheap prices. They also have a Starbucks, a pizza café, a Pharmacy, a Photo Lab, and have a slushie machine.
The only bad thing here is the data connection with your cell phones, at least mine, and I’ve seen others complain about it too. I barely get 3G, much less 4G while I’m in the store, so it’s hard to «check-​in» to Unilocal while in the store. I have better reception in the parking garage, so I check-​in while I’m walking to the entrance.
For the most part, the check-​out lanes are quick unless it’s really crowded, then you’re obviously going to have a wait. The checkout cashiers have been friendly, so that’s another plus.

Decent Target that was easy to get to and easy to get out of. Interesting parking deck even if the escalator was broken the evening I shopped. The usual bright and wide aisles and shelves that were decently well stocked. If I lived near here, I would shop here.
Note that this is not a «SuperTarget» and does not have a full produce or meat section in the reasonable grocery section of the store.

I used to love this Target when it first opened, but now it seems extremely inefficient and slow. Lately, any time I’ve visited, the lines take FOREVER to get through and there didn’t seem to be any rush to remedy this issue.
I thought I had chosen the shortest line since there were only two customers in front of me and both had only a couple of items. But, by the time it was my turn to check out, at least 15 whole minutes had elapsed. The manager had to be called over twice and nothing was done to help me get to a faster lane. Most of the time was spent just waiting for the manager/​supervisor to walk over or figure out what was wrong.
They need to hire more employees to handle the higher volume of customers!

I really love this Target, and I’m sure you will too! There’s so many reasons to shop here including…
— Dedicated parking garage
— Close to 495
— Clean, bright, spacious
— Well stocked
— Lots of checkout lanes
Shopping here is great, especially if you’re hungry! There are plenty of places to eat in the Mosaic as well, so it makes life much easier. When the checkout lanes are packed, I head straight for the Customer Service counter in the back, as they’ll take you!
