Target Stores

The customer service was excellent! Although the store was a bit wiped out from Christmas shoppers, Andrew at customer service was helpful in finding me a location where I could find another Target with sizes for my daughter’s Christmas apparel.
The holidays have come and gone however merchandise is still not restocked. I have taken two additional visits to this Target looking for sizing over the past month and on neither occasion are they restocked. The shelves are empty in the kids clothes department which I have been looking. Frustrating

I am a regular at this Target and have never experienced any problems, until a few weeks ago. I bought a gift for a friend through Targets gift registry. Everything was fine, I got an email after I purchased an item saying it was in stock and they would notify me in a few hours when I could pick it up. So I ran some errands and the two hours came and went so I decided to stop in since I was right there and check on the gift. I was told it wasnt ready, so no big deal I continued on and received and email shortly after saying it was no longer available. So I called customer service just to verify it was true and double check because I did already purchase the item. I get put on hold for at least 15 minutes while they try to figure out whats going on. Anyways by the time some one came back on the phone after waiting so long, I explained what happened for the fourth time now and the lady just hung up! Very unprofessional! I wasnt upset at all until that happened. Extremely disappointed.

My family used to shop Target all the time, but only shop specific advertised items now.
Here are some of the reasons that Target has dropped off my routine shopping circuit:
*Since they closed their garden centers, you can no longer park close to where you plan on making purchases in the store. This is difficult for the mobility impaired who then have to traipse through the entire huge space of this big box store to get what they need.
*Checkout lanes are understaffed. Lines get absurdly long. Again, this is worse now that the garden centers have closed. The check out in the garden center took some of the pressure off of the main checkout lanes.
*Target used to have great clearance sales with 75% off of clearance items. The «clearance» shelves are now packed with merchandise that is 15−30% off full retail price. Heck, that doesn’t even qualify as a decent «sales» price, let alone a «clearance» price.
*Today I left again empty handed. I tried to buy 4 items in their weekly ad. They were out of all 4 items.
*The quality of Target items has declined over time. It used to be that Target was priced between Walmart and department stores like Sears and JC Penneys and had products that were more in the department store quality. Most products are now Walmart quality. One example is 12 mid-​priced towels that I bought at Target that totally unraveled the first time I washed them (before using them for the first time). When I returned them the customer service rep stated that the same thing had happened to her when she purchased these towels.
*Employees had about ¹⁄₃ of the aisles blocked with boxes for restocking the shelves (why the heck can’t they do this before the customers are in the store?).
*Let’s not forget the «joy» of identity theft generated by their massive data breach that they waited months to alert the public and victims to.
*One of the reasons for visiting this store today is that their web site states that this store has a photo center. Ha! Ha! Fooled me. What they have is a self-​serve kiosk and no one to help you if you run into problems. I ended up going to Walgreens to get my photo work done. Interestingly, it was less expensive to get my 12 photo enlargements at Walgreens due to a flyer discount of 33% on all photo enlargements – PLUS I got personal, HUMAN assistance.
Sigh, another decent store goes down the drain.

What can I say… it’s Target. Who doesn’t love Target?! I enjoy this location because it’s separate from any major shopping plaza’s so I don’t have to deal with a huge crowd of cars trying to enter the parking lot. I do however find that the parking lot here is a bit small. Granted there is ample space around the building. But there’s just 3 short rows located right in front of the door. Which is ideal parking space for Arizona summers.
The actual store itself is always clean and for the most part always stocked. They have great employees that are always helpful.

Needed stuff. Was nearby. Bought stuff. Why three, you ask? Because we were thirst, so we stopped in side at the restaurant for a soda. One of the Target workers was engaged in a conversation with the clerk at the food place and this went on 5 – 10 minutes. We coughed, waved our arms, etc, but were ignored as their convo was much more important than our thirst. And it’s not that they couldn’t have continued after handing us a cup…

I usually don’t write reviews like this but I’ve had such positive experiences at this location that I just had to share. I use the pharmacy here frequently and they are always quick to fulfill prescriptions, usually within 30 – 45 minutes and I can get some shopping done while I wait. I love that this location has added the fresh grocery within the last few years, I love being able to do all my shopping in one place. I also love being able to order online and pick up in store the same day. The cashiers are always super friendly and helpful. But my favorite thing about Target is the quality and affordability of their proprietary brands. Would definitely recommend.

Good location, quick to fulfill orders (around half an hour or so), nice game selection, and pretty friendly staff.

My regular pharmacy! Darcy the pharmacist is the best and gets your Rx filled in 20 mins. or less. Fast service with a smile!

A small but quaint Target, I love that I can shop for everything that I need in a hurry without feeling like I need to cross the Sahara Desert to get the things I need. There is a Fry’s Marketplace across the street, so you can get all of your shopping done in one trip!

I live at this Target. Small and familiar. And they usually have everything you could ever need.

They have the fitbit aria scale here! So it’s $ 129.99. The fitbit flex in slate or violet is $ 99.99. Yeesh!
I don’t shop here routinely but this is one of the stores I come to purchase cd’s when they’re on sale. For whatever reason they have a much better selection than Mall Wart and they usually have a new release, that I might like, at a low price every couple of months.
What I don’t like about Target is their cheezy baskets of seasonal items on display near the entrance. Lots of poor quality, Made in China items, sold for next to nothing. I see most of this stuff as waste that frequently winds up at Goodwill and/​or landfills.
The store is generally clean and shelves stocked. The staff is pleasant enough.
Not sure how much profit they’ve generated now that all employees walk around attached to walkie talkies (you remember those right? I mean you’re old enough to remember those, right?), but wish they could turn the volume down on the things and possibly refrain from following me while talking on them. I always turn around to see if they’re talking to me because like I said, I don’t shop here regularly.

This used to be where the students went before Tempe Marketplace opened. The staff here are always friendly and the crowd is older Tempe. They could use an update but they are way better than the one on Longmore. This Target has everything I need!

I’ve had several bad customer service experiences at this store. Most recently, they had a toy that was marked at $ 6.99 and rang up at $ 12.99. When I showed them the display price, they said that it was a «Vendor Item» and refused to override the price. It was very frustrating, because I’m trying to teach my kids to stay within a budget, and my 7-​year-​old son had just spent an hour finding a toy that he wanted, and that he could afford. I attempted to contact Target customer support by phone and by e-​mail, but nobody answered the customer support line, and even the customer support web-​page was down. If I can’t trust the prices at a store, it makes shopping there with children nearly impossible.

When they have shopping door busters I like this Target cuz its not too busy and I am usually first in line or one of very few. Who doesnt like Target?

This is the Target we used to shop at when I was a kid. Sure it isn’t as large, nor does it have the shiny new sheen of the Target at Tempe Marketplace, but it still holds the charm and memories of random shopping trips of a bygone era. Employees are friendly, and it’s easy to navigate through the aisles. Another plus is that this location isn’t as busy, and you don’t have to battle with the Tempe Marketplace traffic if all you need are random household items just from Target!

Now let me just start by saying I freaking LOVE Target. Okay, so anyway. I can’t believe I’m the first person to review this location, it’s an ancient store compared to the new ones. Don’t tlet that fool you though, it is remodeled. The store remodel is a good and a bad thing however. I just moved to this area recently so I’m not sure in what shape this store was before the facelift, but I’m sure it needed it. Very nice and refreshed inside, clean, your typical Target red EVERYWHERE. It’s already a kinda weird layout to begin with seeing as this location is set up as a square rather than a normal, longer rectangle most Target stores are layed out as, but in the remodel they added a grocery section with fresh food and more pantry options. I’d add a star for that and the added convienence the extra grocery brings now that it is a p-​fresh location like all other Target’s have become, but in order to add that larger grocery area they’ve had to significantly shrink other departments in the store to compensate, so minus extra star we just added.
Moral of the story here is this Target is great if you just need to run in for a few basics, but if you have detailed shopping or you’re looking for something specific it’s probably a better idea to drive either way on McClintock to the Tempe Marketplace Target or Chandler Santan Target.
This location is still nice to get you by though. They have a food court with Pizza Hut Express, Pharmacy tucked way back in the corner, and a nice Photo Lab up by the front door, which is my favorite thing here. They took photo out of most Target Stores so it’s nice this has one being closest to my house to just ride up quickly and print out a few pics! Overall just a very standard, plain Target Store. Nothing too special here. Just enought to get you through the week.

This is always our 2^nd choice Target. If we cant find something at the TMP location, we come here.
The staff here is always friendly, albiet a bit strange. I always kind of feel like this Target is set up differently than other locations. I always for get that theres more to it while walking thru.

This review is not for the store, because the store is fine and I like it. Even though there is no starbucks here. It is still a nice store.
My review today is for the Pharmacy. What a disaster I had here.
Proving once again that the Target store on 44^th street is the very best one to go to for your scripts.
I came here on the 4^th to drop off 2 scripts to be filled. They did not have one of them and so they would have to order it. Fair enough, I understand that.
Great, I will pick them both up on Saturday. They called me on Friday which was very nice to say they did not receive the item and would get it on Tuesday.
Thank you for calling me and saving me time. I am very grateful for that. So Tuesday Afternoon I go to Target to get my 2 scripts.
Ryan, my cashier finds them, rings them up, I pay, and then he disappears without telling me what is going on and not giving me my scripts???
I am standing at the counter waiting not knowing what exactly is going on.
In the mean time, down the other end of the glassed in counter, 2 men are leaning over the glass talking to the Female pharmacist. About what I don’t know but, they are not in uniform, so I am guessing they do not work there.
Another cashier (female) asks me, Have I been helped. Well, yes, and I have paid, but, I do not have my pills and not sure what is going on.
She leaves to ask, as now Ryan is also down the other end with the the Pharmacist and the 2 men leaning over the glass portion.
One of the men, not in uniform yells down to me, She is changing your pills, it will just be a min.
WTF? People I never say this, but this was the worst customer service ever and it gets better. Who is that guy and why does he have his hand in my dealings???
Ryan comes back and apologizes for going MIA and explains that they had given me the wrong thing. yeah Ryan for catching that for me. So I really do not blame him. I am grateful that he caught it.
Then comes the Pharmacist, Alda, Or something similar. She says have my name then I come up to the counter and she starts yelling at the cash register.
It just goes on and on, I don’t want to bore you with all the details. All I can say is not professional. I did not like the entire episode so I won’t be getting any scripts there again. Sorry for so long of a story.
But, when it comes to medical of any kind. I want professionalism.

This Target gets the job done. Their shelves tend to be in a little disarray, and their makeup selections are generally lacking, but other than superfluous purchases I didn’t even need to make, this Target has never let me down.
The grocery section is probably the cleanest and best in the store. I love perusing these aisles.
Their clothing section is pretty diverse, but because the store is somewhat small, it’s packed in tight. It’s a challenge to maneuver the area.
The biggest perk is its central location to southern Tempe. It’s also very rarely busy during the day, which is awesome!

I LOVE TARGET!!!
Ok, now that I have that out of my system, lets review why I love this one so much.
A) its target and they carry everything
B) thier awesome
C) I want to buy everything in sight, despite the fact that I only came in here to get shampoo
D) its organized!
Aside from parking, this is one of the better targets around, but the parking sucks here, so beware. Go and shop your heart out…
