Target

The staff is always friendly, the store is clean & there are plenty of cashiers on the registers. I love that I can grab everything I need in one store.

It’s true I hate Target, and Target-​like stores. Once in a while you are forced out to buy a necessity and decide to do it close to home. I find that if you simply have a plan, and keep contact swift, then most transactions can be relatively painless. I was able to walk up to customer service, tell them what I needed done, and how much time I had, and it worked. If you pick up those red little phones along the aisles you usually end up speaking to someone without a clue who runs around for 15 minutes just to get you the wrong answer. This is why it’s best not to ask anything ever. Just run in, get whatever crap set of knives you can only find here, and disappear into the masses until you have to rinse, and repeat. Such is life.

Rude, Unfriendly cashiers that do not value customer service at all. It is very unprofessional to tell a customer that it’s «not your fault that I read the sign wrong». I was so shocked at the lack of professionalism and rudeness that I left my entire shopping cart of items and walked out of the store. As a target card holder, I will NOT be using this store ever again and will drive the extra distance to visit the target in odessa near 54 and the suncoast.

I have been to Target’s across the country as I travel for my job. I live in the area, and have to say this is by far the worst. I have actually met some Target marketer’s in Minneapolis and wish that I had got their contact information. This one just sucks. The whole theory of customers as «guests» goes out the window here.
I went in today to complete 2 items on my daughters daycare /​school list: playground chalk and construction paper. We could not find the playground chalk, so I asked a Target employee in the stationary /​office supplies area. She explained that it would be in the toys area. We searched back there before finding another associate that explained it would be in the stationary area. When I told him that another associate told us it would be back here, he said «oh well».
Furthermore, I expected a «did you find everything you needed?» from the clerk at check out and did not get one. Even worse, I picked up a little Hello Kitty lunch box for my 3 year old daughter who was sitting in the cart. The clerk was ignorant to the fact that my daughter was sitting there asking to hold the lunch box multiple times. She proceeded to just bag it. Perhaps it was my disdain at this point, but it certainly seemed as if she was doing this intentionally as she made eye contact first with my daughter and then with me (with a smirk look) as she put it in the bag.
EVERY other Target I have ever been to, when asked, an associate will escort you to a product. If they cannot find it, they will call on their radio for assistance. This is why their marketing group spent so much time creating the concept of a customer as a «guest». This store has completely missed the mark. Or perhaps since the IT debacle, they have let this slide. Nevertheless, this store felt more like a Walmart which just gives me the willies…
Bad news Target… Close it down or accept your fate!

As an investigator there is nothing I hate more than a dishonest merchant. Over the years I have continually seen this behavior at Target… from a used keyboard that smelled like smoke that they repackaged and sold as new… to items on sale that associates admit they never had in stock.
Today was another… I went to Target to get my son an Xbox headset that they had on their website. They had a headset on the hook as described. The tag sku matched the product and described a cordless headset. And, the electronics associate assured me they were cordless. I paid for the item and skeptically opened it, finding a corded headset. The electronics associate said «…sorry you’ll have to take it to customer service.».
The manager I asked for eventually came back to electronics. After punching numbers into a hand controller, he said an associate must ha be labeled it wrong. He tried to sell me one for three times as much.
After trekking to customer service for a refund, the smart a$$ comments from the manager, Ty, were about as much as I could take. I left telling him I would never shop there again, which he took with an unempathtic «whatever.»
I called corporate and was offered a reference number for my complaint. Considering the recent data breach, you would think Target would avoid negative reviews… apparently, they just don’t care.

Target! Far better than Wal-​mart. The store is always clean, Always tidy, even on this Black Friday morning. The staff was friendly and accommodating, the isles were wide and filled with new merchandise. There really was nothing to complain about.
