Target

The positive about this Target is that it’s conveniently located and the customer service is quite good. However, I’m pretty sure that due to the location that the prices are a tad higher than other Target stores throughout Austin. Also, the food selection and quality (mainly the produce) here is not the best and it’s extremely overpriced.

One of the nicest Targets that my wife takes me too when we are shopping. We usually go to this one on Sundays when we attend our church. It has always been clean and has some good stuff stock. Target always has some great clothes for kids. We usually buy our kids clothes from here or Children’s Place.

I recently visited this store to make a few calendars as gifts for my sons great grandparents … It took about 45 minutes to create the calendar and I received confirmation my order would be ready by end of day. The next day when I went in to pick up my calendars, I was told to wait in line at customer service and then later (about 30 minutes) was told they don’t have anyone in the entire store trained to make calendars and that they can’t help me. Next time maybe post a note on your kiosk that your manager is so incompetent that you can’t take the the time to train a single person on how to put together a calendar. Or maybe have one of your employees actually work in the department to prevent wasting people’s time.

I like the actual Target, they have all sorts of stuff and I love Target in general.
However, this Target has the worse parking known to man, it’s always a nightmare here regardless of what time you go. It’s very crowded here for some reason, even when I walk in the store and it’s not crowded there, but the parking lot seems like the whole store is jammed pack. This store is not even a Super Target, but I guess it is the nicer one in this area so perhaps that is why people come to this one so much.

Yes, this target deserves 5stars. Been to many over the past 30+yrs and this location is as clean and friendly as the next.

It beats Walmart.
Parking and people acting stupid in the parking lot is a usual.
Like all good chains there isn’t much more to say. There all the same.

This is pretty much the standard Target but I really like the location since it is right off the service road of 183. The employees always seem pretty nice. One thing to stay away from here is the PHARMACY. They don’t ever seem to get our prescriptions right and always have a reason for not having our stuff on time and end up making us wait longer than needed. We finally ended up moving to the 24 hour Walgreens off Duval and 183.
Other than the pharmacy I really like this Target and the merchandise they have here. They are organized and have a good location and parking lot.

I always love Target, but this location is always so slow to check people out. Seemingly, the lines are long no matter what time it is. Like they only have 2 – 3 registers open at once. Other than that, everyone is friendly and the store is pretty well maintained.

I went in with the intention of using the 15% cartwheel coupon for the purple, 6qt Hamilton beach crockpot. They informed me that they did not carry that, but that they would take 15% off of any of the other HBs. I really appreciated that they were willing to still honor the coupon. Great customer service, guys.

I saw Dennis Quaid here once. He had a stupid design on his jeans and wore sunglasses.

It’s not that my life is boring exactly, I’ve just accomplished pretty much everything I’ve wanted to do. So right now, I’m intrigued with the notion of checking-​in to every HEB & Target in Texas. Okay, I’m also pretty aware of my limitations.
But if I were Little Red Riding Hood, I’d say this particular Arboretum Target is not too big, not too small, but just about right. Big enough to carry all the black Ultimate Fit polo shirts I want when they’re on sale, but small enough where I don’t have to walk a quarter-​mile to get them. There are tracks for doing laps.
And I have to acknowledge the grocery section here, which actually seems superfluous — there are six supermarkets in this immediate area — but this particular Target semi-​competes by having unusual stuff like Intelligentsia coffee beans, along with the usual weekly sales & special offers. Sometimes, you can come across a really good deal. And if nothing else, you do accrue Unilocal cachet with a check-​in to «Tarjay» — there’s nobody publicly checking-​in to *cough*Walmart anymore.

*Starbucks-​specific
Every time I go there, it’s a long wait. Last time I went here, they gave me the wrong drink (iced instead of blended) and the girl behind me got her drink ahead of me. I know that happens sometimes if the girl’s drink is quicker to prepare, but I doubt this was the case.
I’ve learned my lesson. I’ve been going to nearby Randall’s, where service is quick and excellent, staff is friendly.

I asked for help from 2 different employees, Neither spoke english or had the work ethic to get me an employee that does converse in my Native tongue. I totally understand this is the norm in the fast food industry, but not at all what I expect in a department store, where the employees are to be attentive and at least slightly helpful.

Products & price 5/​5/​/​Customer Service ⁰⁄₅. Love all the clearance items in every department! Though workers are rude & brutally to the point they do want to be bothered!

This location is not near as likable as the Tech Ridge location, but I’m guessing it is likely due to it’s size, and location. I come to this particular Target when Im at work and need something quickly. but int he Mornings before work, or after work in the evenings, I prefer Tech Ridge Target.
I stopped in here on my lunch yesterday to finish up my sons school supply shopping. Wow. I know its BTS. but dang. I was a little disappointed. this particular day was an exception to what I consider this location’s «norm» to be… so Im giving it 3 stars. no sense in knocking one off for an «off day»
The Pros:
They sometimes have more stuff than other locations, sometimes. I’m always on the hunt for a super good buy. and things that another stores may be out of, I can almost always count on this one having. Cashiers are always cheerful, no matter what day I stop. it is «typically» clean.
The cons:
This day. the store was busier than normal, super dirty, I mean. popcorn all over the floors, bathrooms were filthy, drinks spilled in various places throughout the store, trash lying in various places. it was DEFINITELY NOT THE NORM. Even the buggies, which I normally would praise, were dirty… Be glad when BTS is over…
Actually, I hope that’s all it is. cause if its management turnover, this store is going downhill quickly, in which case, it may be a while before I return being a somewhat regular there. Guess time will tell.
And please know. no matter how many times I give, or even consider giving target below a 4* rating, they will ALWAYS be better than «Wally World» Always. Eeehhh I do not like Wal Mart. at all.

Minus two stars for an inept pharmacy. They’re not trustworthy.
I have a prescription that must be taken on a daily basis and refilled on a monthly basis. There were no refills left, so Target Pharmacy promised me they would call my doctor a week in advance and get a new prescription for me. I was hesitant but they assured me they would take care of it.
A week before I needed my new prescription, as promised, they faxed my doctor’s office, with no reply. Days later, they faxed again. Days later, they faxed a third time. By this time, it had been over a month since my last refill, so by all accounts, my prescription should have run out. Target never attempted to contact my doctor via phone, or notify me there was a problem.
Here’s the thing… they have no concept of when is «too late»…They don’t track when your current prescription runs out… so they had no idea of when to escalate in the face of failure or how critical the situation was.
I still had 2 days supply left, because I leave margin for error on these things. I finally stepped in when I hadn’t heard from them, and was barely able to scrape a refill in time before my drug ran out.
When I told them about the problem, the tech only told me over and over how it’s «standard procedure» to fax the office three times and then call the patient (which they never did). He couldn’t understand that their standard procedure doesn’t work.
Target loves to brag about how ‘automated’ and ‘advanced’ their pharmacy is. Make up your own mind.
Not to mention the pharmacy closes at 7pm…

So I got back into the hotel area after a long day of work and knew hardly anything about the city that is not Kerbey Lane, Emo’s, or Stubbs. I couldn’t find any restaurants that really spoke to me so I just drove around looking for a Whole Foods or something in the neighborhood to grab some reasonably priced adult refreshments for the hotel room so I could watch Modern Family at a reasonable price, rather than the hotel bar that was like $ 80 for just a sniff not even a sip of some shitty merlot.
I only found out about two months ago from a new coworker that Target sold alcohol. This was a new thing for me since like a normal Travis County District Attorney I bought my alcohols at the liquor store. Finding out that Target sold such things was mindblowing because I could now buy cat toys, cat food, human food, human toys, bath towels, and alcohol all in the same place. What a world we live in! #merica
When I walked in I was briefly concerned this might be one of Jesus’s Targets that did not sell alcohol because she frowns upon humans being Ben-​Franklin-​happy. At my Target they put the goods front and centre when you walk in. I kept walking like a confused puppy towards the back of the store and finally I found the groceries part, so I figured alcohols would be nearby, and as I kept walking I finally found it. They had it! A terrible selection, but still something so I did not need to go back out into the cold night empty-​handed and alone, now needing to find a liquor store.
I also grabbed a $ 4 pre-​made Archer farms salad to take care of dinner so I didn’t need to look for fast food. I retired to my hotel room, alcohols and salad in tow, and had a party watching Modern Family. Target sponsors happy evenings such as these at a low, low price.

This is my closest location. I love it.
The clothes are great. The grocery section has improved SO much. I actually just bought an IPhone because the mobile associate was really helpful and nice and was the consummate salesperson in terms of making me realize why it was the right change (also I got a great deal that they’re offering through July 6!). The store is clean, it’s well organized, and every staff member seems to be willing to help you with anything you may need. The Target corporate people should be very proud of this store.

I always forget that this store doesn’t have a bakery in it. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but the one by my house *does* have one, and I will accidentally run into this one to pick up apple fritters or donuts for work, and then realize that they don’t sell ‘em.
It’s a decent store… as stated above, I’m partial to the one by my house, but this will do in a pinch. Trying to exit the store (onto 183/​Research) is a hassle most times, but I suppose I’ve suffered worse things.
Always enough registers open, plenty of staff, and clean and organized. This is why I’ll always shop Target over Wal-​Mart.

What can I say about how much I love this particular Target? The store is always clean and well stocked. The staff is friendly and goes above and beyond to meet their customers’ needs.
Allow me to share my story from today. After attempting to get another store (Best Buy) to honor their price matching guarantee, I went over to Target and entered a 5 – 6 person deep line. The line moved quickly and even then, they brought another employee over to help the line move. When they got to me, they called a more senior employee over to do the price match. He quickly verified Amazon’s price via the store’s iPad and then told me to bring the electric razor back to the customer service counter. All in all, I was out of the store with a new electric razor in under 10 minutes.
Target may not always have the lowest prices (although they gladly match competitor’s pricing), but they can always be counted on for good service and a higher quality selection than their competition.
An altogether excellent shopping experience.
