Target

Was visiting in this era and dropped in w/​my daughter to shop for her City apartment. We had a blast, well stocked, friendly help and quick check-​out. Can’t ask for more …

Parking lot is dangerous. Not enough staff anywhere in this entire store. The store is dirty from customers leaving things everywhere, definitely needs more staff on hand, especially janitors. The lines are outrageously long even in the afternoon. Shopping experience is what you would expect to find at any target location. It is so cluttered! The layout wasn’t thought through at all, too many large things in too small of a space.

Normally a fan but I’ve placed two online photo orders in the last two days that the store claims never to have received. None of the store employees have even bothered to apologize or try to figure out why this is happening. I have confirmation numbers but apparently they can’t even track an order with them. Really poor service and handling of customers. I was told 2 hours ago that both of the in store kiosks are broken and I can not print the photos myself. When I called to see if my second order went through it hadn’t and I was told that the one kiosk was in fact working since yesterday. But with different information from two employees I’m not driving back to the store to be disappointed for a third time today.

More often than not, I’ll swing by here for groceries. Their prices are decent, while there’s a respectable selection of things.
Like other Target stores, this one is very clean. So clean, in fact, that I might eat a sandwich right off of the floor. Okay, probably not, but it still is pretty clean.
My only issue here is the lack of a checkout line near the mall side of the store, but other than that, this location is solid.

Pretty okay target — the lines are a bit long sometimes, aisles are a bit on the cluttered side and it sucks that there isn’t a checkout on the mall end. The new addition of the grocery section was very much needed and appreciated.

This is my favorite Target to go to. It’s usually clean and organized. They have a better selection of pocketbooks and accessories than some other Targets. The food section is good. It’s spacious. We bought bread there that was very fresh. I sometimes buy Target deluxe CDs and they usually have them in stock when I look, but not always. Customer service is usually good.
I don’t go to the toy section much anymore, but used to. A few years ago, they usually had the newest dolls in before any other stores in the area. I found two rare dolls there that no other stores were carrying. One time I was looking for a specific doll. An employee looked in the stockroom for us and found the exact one I wanted. I always appreciate people who are helpful and nice.
I had two bad experiences which is why I rated 4 stars instead of 5. Once I couldn’t find a CD in the music section on the release date. An employee said he would look in the back, but he didn’t, instead he went behind the counter and helped another customer while we stood waiting and watching him. He ignored us, so I went to the customer service desk and asked for help. After about 5 minutes, a different employee came to the desk with the CD I wanted. The other problem was an online order for a few items. One was a pair of pants in stock at this store, so I sent a relative to pick them up. When they brought the bag in and I opened it, the pants had a terrible chemical odor on them. Maybe it was a bad shipment or something in the store, but, it was terrible. We returned them. I got the same pants at Target in Newburgh and they didn’t smell at all.

It’s fairly common today to walk into a store and no one, including «the managers» have a clue where things are or how to interact with consumers – Target is one of those stores.
We came in for one simple item: Mrs. Meyer’s scented candles. After asking a few employees where we could find them, all of whom sent us to the wrong aisles, sections, etc. We finally went online (while in the store) and found the products and the correct aisle number.
If anyone is wondering why the American workforce is totally depleted… It’s because no one cares.
We’d gladly pay the price for shipping than walk into this awful store.

I’m currently standing in line at customer service that is 8 people deep with no one behind the counter. I had to flag someone down to ask if anyone was working here. Finally, the employee who was more concerned about the lack of an employee at the café went behind the counter to help people. Seriously unbelievable.

I’m never disappointed coming here. Love their prices and selection of makeup products.

Shopped at this target for a few years now. This time I was negligent in trusting their posted prices and signs indicating sale items. When I got home I checked closely and most of the prices that I paid were much higher than posted. This was for Bounty, Charmin, Cascade, and a few other items. I blame myself for trusting their signage but this is not acceptable. Especially since it was on so many items. I am going to file a complaint with NY state as it is also illegal.

Typical Target. Clean and tidy.
Kids clothing is reasonably priced and always very cute style wise. I find their 2T’s run small so my daughter (who is a 2T in almost every other store) has to wear 3T.
I wish they had a family restroom like they have in Mt Kisco — makes going to the bathroom with a toddler much easier.
Love the different sales this company has been doing lately. I heard they’ve been doing gimmick type deals because of the credit card thing that happened. Apparently they are trying to win their customers back — works for me!

complete idiots! from the operator to asst mgr. store should bankrrupt ASAP!!!

Well, well, well… Finally a target that is poorly stocked compared to Walmart. I went there to look for certain items and they were either out or didn’t carry anymore. I will keep going back because it is closer than Walmart but where else can I buy food, bed sheets and music In the same place?! Yeah, that’s what I thought.

It’s an interesting mix of people actually shopping at Target and the people passing through to the mall. The checkout lines are usually a mile long because they have 2 – 4 lanes open. Kind of ghetto at the same time, though. But the only other option nearby is Newburgh so you take what you can get…

Good prices but confusing and low quality products. Great customer service and very quick cashiers. I’ve been there twice and both times had to return items because they were not good quality!

About a week before my birthday when it was so hot in my area for a few days on end, we decided not only to take in a food establishment nearby for the first time, but also to head into this Target due to the fact that we needed some quick products from a few areas of the store.
Now although the experience started out all wrong (my brother’s trip into the bathroom near the pharmacy), the rest of the trip was an experience that I’ll never forget.
When my brother first headed into the bathroom (now, he is/​was 15 years old), he saw the need for the closest one. He sat down on the toilet seat. After taking partial care of «his business», he reached over and noticed that the toilet paper was completely out. Now, been the constructive person that he is/​was, he though the next best thing was napkins/​paper towels. But none of that was available.
When myself and my grandmother wanted to check up on him, after noticing he wasn’t coming out, he told us his problem (with a little probing for the info). Although the pharmacy tried to remedy the toilet paper situation, unfortunately getting into him was a bit of a challenge. Him, being the etiquette-​oriented person he is, didn’t want to express any part of his body, not even for a second, for his brother (he’s a twin) to come in and give him the paper. He said he couldn’t reach the door handle. No problem there.
After we saw a few employees go past the restroom door while trying to obtain a key (they don’t keep keys for that bathroom at the pharmacy desk), it took them forever to get back.
Finally, after some probing to push him to come to the door just long enough and with enough etiquette that his brother could help him pursue, he was able to get up. He found a few tiny slivers of toilet paper in the trash can that he knew he shouldn’t use, but used anyway.
Well, come to find out, he also saw something that we didn’t see. Although some person was in the bathroom to change their child’s diaper, some other person decided to have some fun. After they too ran out of cleaning towels and the like, they decided to smear «body excrement» on the wall and all over from their child.
According to him, he said it wasn’t that bad, but it was enough to mention. Now, I know it’s tricky trying to keep a retail store clean, but if you can’t keep up with cleaning a restroom (which includes keeping it stocked with toilet paper), why even keep your store’s restrooms there open at all, even figuring in the key issue? I mean, if someone would have fallen, and there’d be no quick entry key nearby, someone would be brain dead before someone else entered or noticed the patient lying there.
When we discussed this with the manager, she wasn’t in favor of keeping a key at the pharmacy, so it doesn’t look like nothing will ever change. And when our shopping experience was about ready to look for some products, we ditched the idea and headed empty-​handed out of the store, and shopped elsewhere for the product (over the counter vitamins).

I thought this was a pretty mediocre Target until they added a much-​needed — and quite good — grocery section. In the grocery section, I’ve seen some pretty good prices on produce and brand-​name items. They can be competitive.
Inventory-​wise, it’s pretty much like other Targets. What’s really weird, though, is that the Kingston Mall Target FEELS like a larger and better-​stocked store (apart from groceries), even though a quick web check says the Galleria Target is 2000 sq. ft. larger.
What surprises me is how lax they appear to be at the exit into the mall. There’s no cashiers there, and they don’t even appear to have a security guard at that entrance any more. I guess they have a reliable surveillance system? Cosmetics-​sniffing dogs? Psi-​Corps? I don’t read about a lot of theft, so I guess whatever they do is working.

What can I say about Target? I take it for granted now but I recall when this was a strictly out of NY State store. We would see one on the side of the freeway on a road trip and make an unscheduled stop.
Target is great. I am a really lousy shopper, easily bored. There is enough variety at Target to keep my Adult ADD under control.
This is the anchor store at the Poughkeepsie Galleria, I seldom venture into the mall, no need really.
Watch those aisle ends for some good clearance items.

Agree that it’s about average for Target.
A little surprised at the length of the lines to the cashier on a Sunday afternoon. They were longer than I have seen elsewhere. The ladies room was looking a little disheveled. Maybe they were shorthanded the day I went.
However, helpful and pleasant staff. And they actually had some of the sold-​out Missoni items that folks are killing for elsewhere.

It’s Target not Tar-​zhay here in Po’town. Good house brand items and selection of greeting cards and other paper ephemera. And at least it is relatively clean. :)))
