Target Stores

Another review about just the pharmacy. Pharmacy tech was extremely rude and disrespectful. Never again will I get a prescription filled here.

I swear there is at least one baby/​toddler/​child screaming in this place from the time it’s open until it closes every day. Is this Target or a daycare center? Because there are kids running, sometimes unattended, all over the place here. If you want a peaceful shopping experience do not go here.

This is a delightful place to go to buy stuff. The merchandise there is easy for me to find, and they’re in convenient spots. I like that if I wanted to, I can walk in and and out quickly with everything I need. Their parking is pretty good. I can find a close spot to park most of the time. The cashiers there are delightful (Kim is the best; he’s the most delightful).

Always low-​staffed. Long lines. Plan on 20 minutes in check out lines. But, the staff I have encountered is very friendly and helpful… which is nice but I’m not going there usually for a nice chat. In-​and-​out quickly is the simple goal of most and I’d say that is not accomplished most the times.

Pharmacy is awful. 20 minutes waiting in line with just 3 people ahead of me. ⁹⁄₁₀ of the employees around the store are rude and unhelpful but there are a few that seem to go above and beyond pick up the slack for they’re coworkers. Props to them. But yeah over all not a good store :/

This is not my regular target. I bring people here to shop for work. This one cashier always has a permanent scowl on her face. This is not a supertarget so the food selection is small. This target was one of the first to go 90% off after Christmas. I do not like smokers and panhandlers outside though. The shopkick ap works Well when you enter this store. They had a bunch of Elf on a Shelf dolls after Christmas. Score.

I went to this Target last summer, I just happened to be driving through the area and needed diapers so why not? I guess my first inclination that perhaps this Target was not ‘the best’ place to shop was the police car parked up on the sidewalk with the officer leaning on his cruiser watching people go in and out. OK. So I buycan deal with that but, upon walking into the store I encountered a second officer leaning against a wall looking extremely bored but also observing people in the store. So now I am feeling that maybe this is not a safe place for my daughter and I to shop. I did notice that the store was poorly stocked and the women I asked for help in the make up department had no idea about the products I was asking for. I did on my way out grab a dozen cupcakes from the fresh bakery that looked amazing but when we got home and had one they were dry and old tasting. Guess what the label said? Made in Canada.

After working my overnight shift from 11pm-​7am I stopped in to pick up a BR/​DVD/​Ultraviolet movie that came out today. Wanted a special edition steelbook case that was in limited quantities so I arrived when they opened @ 8am. After returning home from my purchase I noticed there was no slip inside for my UltraViolet digital copy. I had already been @ work all morning/​night & had to work my other job @ 1pm-​5pm so I figured I’d come back later in the evening to do an exchange. When I cam back around 9pm I went to the service counter and an illiterate man @ the counter told me I couldn’t do an exchange because they had no more copies in the steelbook case. I explained that they cost the exact same amount of money & all I wanted was the UltraViolet code/​slip from another copy that they had neglected to include w/​mine. He said that because the scan code didn’t match on the other variant case that it would break a copyright law if they opened another one. SERIOUSLY?!! I called BS. I had to catch a bus to work soon & I wanted someone who could @ least read the title off my movie (He couldn’t) to help me so I asked to talk to a manager. I had to ask the guy @ the counter like ten times for a manager but he just kept ignoring me. After she finally arrived she was 100% useless. She told me I would have to find another store & that what the illiterate man told me was correct. 2 hours wasted, no sleep, & I’m still short my Ultraviolet copy THAT I PAID FOR w/​MY HARD EARNED MONEY! THANK YOU FOR WASTING MY TIME & STEALING MY $$$$$ TARGET! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE ANYWHERE BY FAR! 30+ Year customer LOST…
ALSO: 2 summers ago They also refused to cooperate & give me security camera footage of me getting attacked by a flash mob of kids from the school next door & lied about calling the police on them (They said they did but didn’t). They basically shielded their identities from the police. All I needed was the video as evidence to press charges.
You’re far better off just avoiding this store (Targhetto) & perhaps Target altogether. They mess up & refuse to fix anything. Maybe it’s because I’m black?

This is about the pharmacy, not the store.
Pharmacy sucks.
They had my prescription for three weeks and did not fill it so I had to get a new one. When I got the new prescription, they made me wait for an hour and a half to pick up. Then they called me and said I couldn’t pick my prescription up. That’s unacceptable. When I went to talk to the pharmacist, she had no idea who I was, even though I had just spoken to her.
If you want to waste a ton of time and get a headache, use their pharmacy, if not, go elsewhere.

Great service when I picked up my prescription yesterday. However, I just called the pharmacy with a question, and talked to an exceptionally rude and condescending woman.

Maybe a zero would be more accurate — this is about their pharmacy. Needed a refill on a scrip I had not forwarded to the corner drug store (forgot to — my bad) — called it in on Friday, they said it would be ready Friday afternoon — Went there to pick it up and …
They told me they were having system problems and would put it in the «urgent» mode — might be ready tomorrow. I am so glad it was not a life threatening thing, just quality of life stuff. Every time I have been to the Lake ST pharmacy it has been a disaster — don’t pick them unless they are the only choice, and then call and make sure your prescriptions are actually there and ready — plus they cost more than most places.
Time to be done with them

«Targhetto»?!?
I would rather shop at this «Targhetto» than at the white trash Wal-​Mart in Bloomington. Just saying…
This Target seems to reflect the neighborhood that it’s located but perhaps that’s what’s bothering the faux urban hipsters of Yuptown. At the checkout, People is in Español rather than English and there are religious Catholic candles. When I was checking out the cosmetics, two people *gasp* were talking in Spanish. I didn’t notice, but what if they stock things that the Somali community might want to buy? OMG!!!
Racist white people aside, this Target isn’t as bad as some people would have you think. Yes, it is located in an urban area. But, it is no better or worse than the Super Target on University in St. Paul. There was a cop (a real MPLS cop not a rent a copy security guard) at the front of the store. But, I didn’t feel not threatened when I’ve stopped in here.
My main gripe about this Target is that it’s small and they seem to be out of everything that I want to buy. The Burt’s Bee’s line was pretty much completely empty. Also, since when did this Targhetto, oops, I mean Target, get the best Gaiam yoga gear in the Twin Cities? They sell Gaiam stuff at this Target that I have not seen at the Targets in St. Paul, Bloomington, Richfield, or Edina.

This isn’t my favorite Target, but it is still Target and it still has everything I like about Target. Yes there are quite often some questionable people outside or pushing a cart across the parking lot to god knows where, but it’s on Lake Street so shouldn’t be a surprise. I’m actually surprised there aren’t more checkout lanes, it always seems pretty busy and compared to some of it’s big brothers this Target is lacking on point of sale.
The parking lot can be kind of a cluster fu*k too, especially in the winter time. seems like there are lanes that should go through to 26^th or to Lake that just end for no reason. Any ways, it’s reliable it’s consistent and it’s still Target.

This place sucks. I tried to get some long johns because it’s like –15 degrees. I bought the mediums because it said for size 32 – 34 I’m a 34. They don’t fit me at all, they sat below my waist and above my ankles. I tried to exchange them but they didn’t have any large warm ones (which makes no sense it’s the middle of December) only light ones for cool weather. The man was super unhelpful and said they couldn’t resell it without a box. Soooo I’m screwed because my butt is so juicy. I’m just going to go somewhere legit I guess until this company gets there Shizz straightened out.

So I shop here usually when in the area. I try to avoid it when possible. Whenever I come here someone is always being arrested. Other then that it’s fine. I try to shop at the one in Richfield for a more pleasant experience, especially when shopping with your kid.

An impressive (or potentially exorbitant, depending on yr perspective) number of cart corrals litter this parking lot.
Also: I expected all Targets in the Target-​motherland to be a bit more magical. Not sure why.
It’s a Target, you guys!

This target seems fine. We had to pop in to get some TP (oh noes!) because the house was running low. They seemed busy for a Sunday night and we had to wait in line a while.
Go to Target to get your odds and ends. This one seems slightly run down although it was still clean.
P. S. Ghetto? It’s not the Suburbs, people that look different than you shop here. There was a mix of ethnic groups shopping here, but so what?

I am going to stand tall and proud and say that I actually like this Target. I agree with Ashley on this one, it’s 2011 people. If you see any of the things mentioned you are either going out of your way to notice them, or have terrible luck. I have NEVER had a problem shopping here after work and usually I was in there in a full suit, tie included.
The selection here is really great, and they have always had exactly what I need. I don’t seem to get sidetracked by the fact that bathroom hardware is across the store from accessories because I typically do my home improvement shopping at Home Depot… I go in with a list and I shop around until I have those items, and sometimes yes I do buy myself or my cat a treat…
All in all this is a really great place, the employees are accessible and you can get tons of shopping done in the shops surrounding this store as well.
I really don’t see the downside…
Oh and the cop outside? Who doesn’t want extra security no matter where you are?

I had to write a review to stand up for this Target, because everyone who has reviewed it is a looney. First off, this is not the ghetto. A. There is no where in Minnesota that is really «ghetto». B. Ghetto is really backwards term to use in 2011.
If you guys all think this Target is so terrible, I’d hate to see the kind of white bread places you normally shop. The Wal-​Mart on University might give you a panic attack. I have been shopping at this Target my entire life and have never experienced any of the problems with sub-​par merchandise, beggars or drunks that any other reviewers described.
Also, the recent remodel has made it possible to do most of my grocery shopping at Target, besides the more fancy or abnormal things I still have to find elsewhere.
There has also not been some major overhaul to improve the employees. Many of these people have been working here a long time, and they are just as nice now as they ever were.
Back up off my Target, haters.

This store is the skeeviest, nastiest, messiest Target store I’ve ever been in, but it’s the closest Target to my house and therefore on occasion I just can’t bear to drive down Cedar to the Richfield Target and I find myself at this Targhetto.
There are two major downfalls to this Target. The most important one is the fact that I have either been double charged or have come home without an item on 3 occasions. Once I was double charged for steaks, $ 12, once for juice $ 2 and today I came home to realize that I didn’t have a package of cheese $ 2. Could I go back and complain? Sure. But I’m not going to. I have an 11 month old baby. One trip to Target is bad enough. I’m starting to think this is general practice for this Target. Three times doesn’t add up to coincidence. Ok… maybe I’m paranoid.
The second downfall is the clientele. Expect that someone will beg for money. Expect to be nearly run down by a 600 pound man in a scooter. Expect that some disinterested parent’s spawn will hop up on the checkout counter. Expect that some particularly disgusting man will accost you on the way in, inquiring if you would like to «party» with him. Don’t worry though. There’s always a police officer near by, as this Target has an officer posted at the doors at all times. Comforting isn’t it?
Here are the things that keep this review from a one star review:
Aside from ripping me off, the «Targhetto» workers are generally helpful and nice. My checkout lady today had a mustache, but I’m not holding that against her.
This Target has a little fresh grocery section which is nice.
Yeah… that’s about it… I hate this place. I’m not going back… unless… well… yeah… I probably will… but only because I’m desperate and it’s less than 2 miles from my house…
