“Target”

Dee C.
3/29/24

Target is my go-to retailer for its combination of affordability, convenience, and variety. Whether I'm shopping for groceries, household essentials, or clothing, Target consistently delivers quality products at reasonable prices. I appreciate the ease of shopping both in-store and online, as well as the frequent deals and promotions available to Target Circle members

“Reading that Target missed it's 'mark' on sales - not surprised”

Gin L.
11/20/24

I was an avid Target fan years ago when they sold brands that people actually liked and wanted to wear. Then for some reason, who ever they have as buyers lately, are totally missing the mark, esp on clothing. I never see anyone looking (or buying) their clothes these days. I only buy here for my 5% off w/Red card purchases on certain items. Have no idea if they can 'recoup' as they've been 'in the dumps' now for years imo.

Wanted to return bedsheets that were wrong size. Called to MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAD THE RIGHT SIZE and THEY SAID YES. I told them that I was driving from out of town just to make sure that they had my size first, again they said yes. Went to the Target Store in Burlington NC walked to the back to get correct size and guess what, NO KING SIZE. Talked to the Manager and he went to find out which sales associate told me that they had my size. Manager came back and said John the Sales associate is new and did not look at the right section and size. Manager said that is was a learning lesson for the sales associate. Manager said that he could give me a little discount if I wanted to pick out another different set but thats not what I wanted. Then he said, I can give you 10% on something else, again I said no but how about a gift card, he said, No cannot do that. I was so upset and it did not seem to matter to him that The Customer was upset. I walked to the front to get my money back. Wasted Day, Wasted Gas Money because A Salesperson did not seem to be smart enough to make sure that there was a KING SIZE in stock that I was driving to come get! I will never give them my business again! No Compassion!

At least I don't have to wait in long check out lines. Unfortunately Target is not in my town. But I do like to shop at a Target when I am near one.

As long as they allow the bathrooms and dressing rooms to be unisex, I will not be going to Target. That is the craziest thing I have ever heard of.

I went to officemax today to get some printing done and i brought my sheet i needed copied and the lady/girl just pointed to the copy machine and moved her head. Like over there.
Ok i understand i go to the copy machine and use a credit card. The 3 employees were just chatting and i felt like i interupted them. Then i went t whole foods and the cashier just rang me up and talked to the bagger... but she did ask me if i wanted my reciept. Went to 2 other stores and pretty much the same thing. But then i went to target and i was greeted twice as i walked in and i was told very precisely where to find what i was looking for and when i got there the guy really helped me out and explained things to me so i understood how to use
What i was buying. Now i am not upset with the other stores workers I am just saying when i compare my experiences i had shopping today, Target was light years ahead of the rest on customer service! T rarely go to target but someone bought me a gift card so i went there. But forsure i will shop there wheneveer i need something that i can find there!
Maybe that is shy the stock has gone to the stars!

Its a usual service not positive and not negative... slowly issues could be identified. With time the services provided could be judged more

Good prices with reasonable shipping cost (sometimes zero cost) and FAST! You get what you pay for! Sometimes there is even a sale.

Not a safe place to take your family due to the lack of fundamental principles. Will not honor the online site either!

When you push gay pride at you as soon as you walk in the door, I will not be back at your store and will not buy anything online from you either.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t shop at stores that promote gay pride.

Products used:
Nothing. Walked out of the store
