Target

I will no longer shop at this Target. Empty shelves and I can’t find what I’m looking for. It seems there marketing ploy is to move items to different sections of the store, so you have to search for that particular item hoping that you don’t find it and make other purchases. I’m no longer a target shopper!

It’s target. Which is usually a good thing for reasonably priced reasonable quality goods. Maybe it is because I’m new to town and this store but I find this store so weirdly laid out. I have hardest time finding things. It’s frustrating.

Tip: if you’re there only for a small item, look to see if it’s at the checkout, because it’s usually cheaper their. Headphones, flash drives, etc.

Target has done a pretty good job of not being the Big Box store you love to hate. Yeah, they are a big corporation and have helped kill off some local business, but they do a great job of keeping the profit in the community in which they exist. I like that.
They have a great selection of lower and higher end products of every type. And, sale items are usually in stock. Their customer service isn’t horrible either.
The best thing about Target has to be their TV ads though. They always look cool and have such a unique vibe.
They’ve recently integrated some superb shopping carts that are high tech and quiet. I dig ‘em. I am way too large to ride in them though. That sucks.

This is the closest Target for me and typically I avoid big box stores except for essentials. I like it that this is conveniently located for me and carries Method cleaning products, as well as Kashi food items. It’s helpful that they also carry some fresh produce items now.
I wish they had smaller carts than the one and only humungous-​sized ones that look like it could carry a family of four.

I generally like this Target, but when the first thing you see is trash in the carts it reveals how poorly managed this Target really is. As a customer I should NOT be expected to have to empty trash from a cart. If the first impression I have is this basic lack of detail then I can only infer Target doesn’t care about my experience, they simply want my money.
No thanks Target — there are plenty of other places my family can shop. Like the Cub Foods two blocks away.

It’s Target. I can even buy food here and the produce selection is not terrible compared to other Target branches… Ridgedale I’m talking to you.
Amazingly, like most Target shoppers have come to realize, you go in planning on a couple purchases and you leave with a cart full of sh*t. The parking lot is full of vanquished zombies pushing that red cart brimming with the remains of their weekly budget. Bring cash bitches! It’s like going to the Casino with a Debit card full o’ money. You know what I’m talking about Mistake Lake fans!
*sigh* I love my wife, but I dread the words «I have to buy a couple of things at Target on the way home.» And now that we are having a baby, there is a whole new section open to us. We are unable escape the event horizon of the BABY section. There is no velocity fast enough to escape from the gravitational pull of pink tutus, baby hats with ears and tiny shoes. *sigh*

I have a LovE /​hAtE relationship with Target!!! Those cursed people lure me in with neat, organized aisles of one stop shopping convenience, yet have me leave with more crap than I know what to do with! And to make matters worse, about half of them have Starbucks in them now so I can feed my addiction while I fill my cart! Curse you Target! lol!

Oh Target, lovely Target.
If you are from Minnesota…
A. You know the 50 dollar rule… you just can’t seem to leave a Target for less than $ 50 (even if you go in just for toothpaste)…and you likely have commented about it while checking out. My personal record is $ 75 in one plastic bag (not stuffed full either), $ 100 if you count the prescription I also picked up the same day.
B. You probably also know someone that works at Target (Corporate or a store). I think I know 7… yes, 7 people… now, if only I could get a job there too, hello corporate discount!
I find this Target particularly exceptional. Fabulous location, large parking lot, friendly employees, clean store, big selection. It is typically a busy location, but that doesn’t really matter due to the fact that the lot is large (lets not be lazy people, its OK to have to walk a few extra spaces from time to time).
Their grocery selection is superb (they always have Honeycrisp apples before everyone else and cheaper) and I do most all of my grocery shopping here. Very rarely do I come across a item I need that I cannot find here. I must note that I am not the most creative chef, so the basics are all I need.
My shopaholic self loves to be able to pick up a cute shirt or pair of Converse while I am poking around too. My only complaint is the lack of selection of the For Target designers; I rarely get to even see a piece here, let alone purchase one.
Oh and look, fun new nail polish, a bottle (or two) won’t hurt. RE (Room Essentials) brand for Target is always a plus too. Who couldn’t use some awesome and inexpensive organizational stuff… or a book… or shelving… or new sheets… or batteries… or a light bright… or a bike… or…a sofa… ummm…I am so making a list next time, I better go now. Oooh, picture frames are on sale!
I am sure you already know about this, but don’t forget to sign up for their RED card and save 5% on every purchase — on top of their already awesome prices! They also have Pharmacy rewards after 5 prescriptions filled. Bring your own bags for an extra 10 cent discount, per bag. I freely admit that I forget mine more often than not, but hey, I still recycle them by using them as trash bags. Reduce, reuse, recycle people… save our planet and save some money!
Happy shopping people, happy shopping.

It’s a big box store, even so I find they don’t have a lot I like to buy, but I hope the wads of cash I spend on seventh generation and method products do some good.
They also have some vegetarian frozen foods for those times I eat in and don’t have time to cook.

C’mon — who doesn’t like Target? And it seems like every other person I meet here in MPLS actually works for Target, did in the past, or currently trying to now. Count me as one of them… someday, I will work for Target. If they will have me.
But until then, I will continue my weekly trips there to stock up on plenty of things I don’t really need and a few things I do. Sure it is a chain store… but I don’t care. I love Target. I don’t usually shop there for groceries — but I am there for the cleaning supplies, bulk items and what not that tends to be pricier elsewhere. Besides, I can’t find a cute new t-​shirt at a grocery store!

They always have what I need in stock which is awesome; because, often times I find that Target runs low on their stock.
Lanes were quick.
Store was clean.
Products were in stock.
Good times.

I rarely write reviews on businesses because I am really busy, so when I take the time to do this, it means the business is really bad or really good. I am on the WIC program, meaning that I am low income and have a child to feed. When I have tried to use my WIC credits there, I find that I have been met with judgement and rudeness. Mostly from the cashiers, who I am sure have a low enough income to also qualify for WIC. Furthermore, they give me a hard time about the things I am buying. Anyways, even though this Target is the closest to me, I will not be going back.

A corporation handing out money to charity and doing it by popular vote?! Might have to change my mind about Target! lol… I still like «mom & pop» better. Think this should be an example of corporate responsibility that every company should make policy!
Only 3 stars for this because it is currently only available if you use their facebook app– knew there was a catch!

I’m not going to lie, I love Target. Why only 3 stars then? Well, it’s because I regularly do my grocery shopping here, and they are ALWAYS out of stock of at least 5 items on my list, if not more. It makes me crazy! I say almost every time I am there that «I HATE THIS STORE! THEY NEVER HAVE ANYTHING I NEED!!!» But I go back each weekend to stock up on my food needs. The quality is good, and their Market Pantry and Archer’s Farm brands are cheap and really good! I shop here simply because their prices on groceries are hard to beat, and the quality is consistently good. The only place that can beat some of their prices is Wal Mart. Don’t get me started on all that is wrong with Wal Mart. Target is also a great company to work for. I worked there for a long time after high school while in college.

Dear Target,
I am sooooo mad at you.
1. You don’t sell CORN TORTILLAS. This is not an exotic item. You weren’t just out of them and the stock person said people ask for them all the time but you just don’t have them. It’s the weirdest miss on your buyer’s part.
2. I bought a foam mattress cover for my guest bed (since I’m cheap I bought a hard bed expecting to be able to cover it up) and it stated queen — I thought score — mom and dad will never know the bed sucks. OH until I get it home and on the bed 5 minutes before their arrival and it is clearly not a queen. It’s somewhere between a twin and full.
3. Your produce is crying for help — thank god it’s farmer’s market season.
Now that all of that’s all out of my system, I’ll probably still shop at your store since I’m addicted and programed to do that. Please get better.

target, you have long been my friend, even when i was embarrassed to go to you when i was a child and ducked under racks of clothes to hide from people i knew, i secretly loved you even then.
so it was a tough day to be disappointed by you twice in one day. one is not your fault but a product you sell– so ill keep it short– but still you should know that those amazing white sport headphones you sell have a cord thats two inches too short. thats right, and now i had to buy me an armband– for an effing shuffle, so that i can work out without having it clipped to my tit to be long enough to make it from shuffle to ears. i was so excited to find headphones you can rock out in without them falling out of your ears and being someone who does not have the ear shape or capacity for the classic ear buds– i have always had to wear the ones that wrap around your ear. i was thrilled when i put them on and jumped around and they stayed in– just to find out that the cord length was designed for someone under 4 foot 9. okay, this wasnt that short but WTF?
ok, number two is definitely your fault and really pissed me off. had to buy all black shoes for restaurant job and was not up for paying 45 bucks, the minimum for the even ugly black comfy looking shoes at dsw. i was counting on you target. then i saw them, the perfect cheapo comfy looking black shoes. i started looking for the boxes marked 10 of the same brand, color and low and behold, you put the mens version right next to the one i wanted so literally had to pick up, take out, remove the shoes from every effing box since you cant put «mens» or «women» on the box but only on the display shoe. YOU SUCK. it took me 10 minutes to take out all the boxes to determine which were men and which were womens. and why the hell are you tying your crappy shoes together with a plastic 1980s style phone curly cue rubber tie, that many people stealing your gender-​unmarked crappo shoes???
doubt it.
