Target

Reason for the 5 stars ?!! They actually let me shop without being overly annoying. There’s not as many employees on the floor as the other targets but honestly I don’t mind at all. I can come here and shop in peace.

The pharmacy is a joke! The people working there have no clue what they are doing. If you have a serious health condition and are in dire need of your prescriptions to be filled on time, this is not the place for you. Half the time they don’t even call you when it’s ready for pick up. Unprofessional!!!
They also have attitudes when they mess up, they take no ownership and then they turn it around on you… Like it’s your fault. Classic

Bathrooms are filthy and it looks like NO ONE HAS CLEANED THEM IN A CENTURY. We are talking movie style road side pit stop nasty. I feel sorry for the lone employee that has to clean this if it was up kept consistently this wouldn’t be an issue.

This is a great store and actually this review is for GINA at the Starbucks inside this target. She is unfazed by all the super holiday consumerism. Like a bright rose in a busy jungle, she’s Super nice, super sweet and just pleasant through and through. I had to write because she surprised me with her actually holiday cheer. She has Actual Holiday Cheer, I wish people were more in tune like her. Thanks Gina!

Cyber Monday!!! So i got some powerbeats 2 wireless for their cyber monday deal. It wasn’t easy because i had to change my location for pick up and calling on the phone wasn’t much help either so i just decided to come in person and talk to them about my dilemma.
Went up to the electronics and waited behind someone for probably 15 minutes only to be helped with Natalia i believe her name was. And i told her my situation and called for someone to help resolve. So a guy in a cart handling some online stuff named Octavio stopped to help us out.
He looked it up and both tried thinking of possibilities we can come up with and what are the odds!!! My headphones were on his cart! We did an epic high five! Haha it was awesome! Im so glad i drove here bc it was all worth. This location has always had good customer service and i couldn’t be any happier to have changed the location for pick up even with all the mix ups.
At the end of the day, i got what i needed and got it with great customer service. Way to go target!

Heather… kinda sounds like LIAR. You may think this is a coincidence but in this case ’tis not.
Usually I like to write elaborate reviews but even just clicking that single star was way too much effort but alas here I am.
I purchased three video games under the «Buy 2 Get One Free» promotion last week and wanted to exchange one, single, unopened game for another one. I explain to the employee what I wanted to do and she proceeds to tell me I can’t get an EVEN exchange because I am not exchanging it for the same game (silly me, that makes total sense). I asked her why and to show me where that is stated. She proceeds to loose her cool and say «Ugh, I just did this». Well I haven’t heard why so looks like your gonna have to explain it again. Side note, I’m sure Target employees deal with a lot of shit in returns but you should really consider placing someone who can be professional and handle themselves, aka probably anyone but that girl.
So instead of doing what I asked she grabs a manager (the liar) who tells me I can’t do an even exchange because this game wasn’t «offered» at the time I purchased the games. Good excuse, I guess. They offer me a discounted price and say that’s all they can do. I probably would of taken that deal if it wasn’t for the brat so I left and went to the Cottle location instead.
Guess what happened. I walked up saying I wanted to exchange and purchase (fully aware that I was probably gonna have to pay) and the employee goes «No you’re gonna wanna do an even exchange». Let me repeat that, «No, You’re gonna wanna do an even exchange.» Yes, that’s exactly it.
So in conclusion go to Cottle instead of this location. It’s cleaner.

Messy, Messy, Messy. Things are everywhere, unorganized. Lines are crazy long. The entire Plant area is pretty crazy when it comes to parking. There is no CHASE ATM located in this Target. When you use your Debit card, you can only take $ 40 bucks out max. The good side: they returned my items with no problem and the customer service line went pretty quick. This Target is large and for the most part, they have what you are shopping for.

OMG… soooooo slooooooow. Get a person who is not dumbfounded by a scanner. A little sense of urgency please.

Staggered checkout lines… WHY, TARGET? WHY???
Quit being cheap with your register real estate and make ‘em all in one row so no one has to cut through sh*t and everyone can easily tell what’s the best and worst line to get it.
The parking lot at this store is plentiful but even when the store is pretty empty it seems super full so I can imagine it’s prob a nightmare around the holidays.
I only needed a few things and despite the checkout lanes being staggered, I actually got out pretty quickly and the girl behind my register was super sweet.

Gotta love target ! But curbside is awesome. Use my code ESBSP for $ 10 off $ 20 purchase

Another Target location that I frequently stop by to just walk around and not buy stuff: D haha! Jk, I buy stuff sometimes. This Target is located at The Plant, so I guess there can be a lot of people and cars since people may go to Ulta, Best Buy, Wing Stop, Panera, and the other stores/​resturants and may stop by Target or vice versa. Again, this is the typical Target and the layout is similar to most of the new Targets now. It’s somewhat clean and organized, and I can always find what I want without asking for help :) The workers at the cash register are nice and this is one of the location where workers always ask if I want to open up a redcard, but I already have one :) There’s also a Starbucks inside, so grab a coffee and shop!

This Target was slumming it harder than ESSJ the other day.
Driving up and stepping out of the car, there’s a teenage couple performing PDA right outside the front doors and mariachi music’s blasting in the parking lot.
Entering the store and approaching the Guest Services department to see one employee behind the counter with three customers, not organized into any coherent line, waiting for service. The Assets Protection man keeps walking to and fro. Did one of these individuals steal something?
Waiting while the employee finally pages for help and the customer in front of me leaves, citing the long wait time as the culprit for giving up. A drug-​addled couple stands behind me.
Another employee appears and ambiguously waves me, the next person in line, to one of the multiple registers. I remain standing where I am watching to see which one he’ll set up shop at. He reaches his destination and indicates for me to step forward with an attitude of impatience and exasperation. I inadvertently tense up for a battle of customer service cattiness. I am not instilled with consumer confidence.
I explain my reason for being in the store, which was to pick up an item that was placed on hold and to do an exchange. He stares at me non-​smilingly and with disinterest. I am asked if its a store pickup. Yes? I respond. The employee looks at the other and states that he doesn’t know how to do store pickup. Really?
I look over at the large pile of items behind him and spot my item. I let him know and that I need to exchange it with an item I have in my possession. I ask him to make the new item replace the old item on the receipt, which listed other items not present. I try to make small talk by telling him another location had done this before though it was complicated. He waves me off saying he will do just that. I am presented with a receipt with no identifying information about said item and reassured that, when scanned, all four items will appear. Whatever you say, boss. I’ll double-​check at another Target tomorrow.
Walking out, I have two women in front of me. One of them is wearing unfortunate tight leggings so the world can see her lower (I mean, lower) back sweat.
Thanks, The Plant. Always a pleasure.
Edit: When double-​checking his work the next day at the Target on Cottle, my suspicions were confirmed!

I absolutely love Target and I could probably spend all day in there. I love this location because it’s at The Plant and there are so many surrounding shops here. This Target is a lot cleaner and organized then the other locations that I’ve been too.
They also have a new thing called cubside. You can order off of an app on your phone and they text you when it’s ready. Then you just drive up to the curbside of target and pick up your items.
The staff here is friendly and helpful. The times that I do come in, I’ve always been greeted at least once and if not then by the cashier. The service is fast and efficient here. Parking can get a bit hectic on the weekends because this plaza is fairly busy. Overall, I am a fan of this location!

Great location for me. I love Target because of its friendly staff and customer service. I love the ambiance I get when I shop there. It is a calm and peaceful setting– you don’t feel pressured or rushed, perhaps because it’s not super busy like Walmart. I recommend this Target for their friendly staff and choice of products.

I wouldn’t really write reviews on big stores like this unless there was something to really write about. So I started out at Best Buys looking for attachments for my phone and an adapter for my tv. I could not find help there so I moved over to Target. I didn’t have high expectations for Target either, considering they are a department store. While in the Electronic department I asked a Sales Representative who introduced himself as Joe, Asian guy with glasses. If you need help, he is the guy, he helped me with my phone, adapter, and even was able to show me things about my phone I didn’t even know. Ended up buying more than I came for. But, hey, with that kind of service I don’t mind as much. Thanks Joe from Electronics!
Update: Upon getting horrible service at the Target on Saratoga Ave. I drove all the way here because they are usually very helpful. They were indeed, I was able to get what I needed, Guest Service went above and beyond and apologized for Saratoga. YAY for this store and ALL OF THEIR GREAT STAFF.

I love this target! It’s clean, organized, always up-​to-​date on inventory, and employs friendly, helpful associates.
Great inventory of children clothing with a pretty epic clearance selection. Their sports aisle always stocks some pretty kick-​ass gear, and their kitchen and décor section always has such cute and colorful brand name appliances.
This target is one of the few that don’t hassle you when trying to redeem coupons, or figuring out exactly how to correctly redeem one of their many nifty promotions. Their layout makes sense and it easy to navigate.
Nice selection of frozen fruit and produce, for a Target at least. I recently heard Target matches Amazon prices, but have not actually tried yet. I also heard a rumor they may be selling some kinky 50 shades of gray memorabilia? Not sure how that’s going to work!
Located in the Plant Plaza, there is plenty to see or do in addition to your target run!

This is a well-​organized location and it’s better than the Silver Lake Road store and way better than the store on Story Road.
Employees are usually friendly, but the lines at the register are too long.
The only real problem is the shopping center’s parking lot and getting in and out of the store.

It’s a Target they kind of take there job a little too serious; with the walkie-​talkies and all… Now I have seen them bust shoplifters, so don’t even think about it. And I don’t discriminate I actually saw them bust a mom with a child in a stroller. They typically come up to me about my service dog or tell me customers are scared of her… All you do is say service dog & they leave you alone.
I did have one plumb cashier tell me she could see my butt crack… LoL, WRONG person, to be informing me. I thought about it later & I think it was more having to do with being able to see my ass & her accepting back rolls… I am a trainer & I can give her a discount.

I’ve been to this Target a few times and it’s like any other Target. The layout and some of the items will vary slightly, but other than that, it’s exactly what I expect. One thing to note is that the promos are on a small sticky as oppose to be larger so you’ll have to look for a deal and read carefully.
I went in yesterday looking for a particular deal, buy 5 cereals and get $ 5 GC. It wasn’t coming up but the manager was nice enough to look at the advertisement and give me $ 5 off since a GC wasn’t popping up. People who work here are friendly too.

It feels like I go to this Target location in The Plant in South San Jose at least once a week, or every other week. And am I ashamed to say that I do? Ummmm… nope!
I’ve been a big fan of Target for basically my whole life. Always used to go shopping at Target before the school year started to get my new school supplies. This was always one of the highlights of my summer, sadly. But now, I frequent Target for entirely different reasons — I go there to get great deals on toiletries, like laundry detergent, or hair spray, as well as other household items like bed skirts, decorations, towels, chairs, dressers… you name it, they probably have it. I used to buy a bunch of DVD’s, blu-​rays, and video games from Target as well, but I decided to cut down on those purchases (wife-​mandated).
Speaking of which, my wife hates taking me with her to this Target next to our house. Every time I go with her, I always end up getting more stuff than what I actually came there looking for. I often forget why I had to go to Target in the first place. Actually, this happens almost every time I go.
Anyway, in terms of general tips about Target — always check for some of the special deals that they have, especially in the toiletries section. Recently, Target has been doing a lot more promotions — for instance, buy 3 bottles of hair spray and get a free $ 5 Target gift card for your next visit. I took advantage of that particular deal last Sunday. You can also check out the deals ahead of time on their website or via third party deal aggregator sites like Slickdeals. Target has even begun to do deals for high value items like iPads and XBox’s, so keep an eye out. They just had a deal for an iPad Air. It was $ 100 off retail price and you get a $ 50 Target gift card as an added bonus… what a sweet deal, right? Anyway, this Target will also price match so make sure you know where the best deal is first.
Lastly, I want to touch on customer service. This is the only part that can be hit or miss depending on the Target that you go to. At this particular location, I’ve had my share of really good customer service experiences, and then I’ve had employees who clearly hate that they work there, and provide the worst possible customer shopping experience. It’s a little disappointing, but I think it’s pretty much the standard for retailers of Target’s caliber. I can overlook this though, because we are usually in and out with our purchases, and it’s no biggie. Nonetheless, rating this location a 3-​star due to customer service.
Alright, well… I’ll be back at this Target this week at some point, most likely. Gearing up for Black Friday in a few months, and Target is always one of my go-​to spots for deals… can’t wait!
