Target

I have been shopping at Target for twenty plus years. This is by far the worst customer service I have ever experienced at any store. We were told over the phone by a manager to come in for an exchange on a recalled Graco seat. When we brought our seat in we were given a piece of paper and told to call the number for Graco customer service. (Keep in mind this is something we could have done from our own house had we been told this was «protocol.») The lady who was «helping» us called another representative to come help us stating she needed to go on her lunch break. She walked away, leaving us there with no one to help. The replacement customer service agent walked away with her. We didn’t know how to call out from their phone and sat there trying for a good five minutes with no one to ask. I will not be shopping at this Target ever again even though it is the closest one to my house.

Until today I wouldn’t have put this Target on my top 10 list of places to shop. Today, however, I was a recipient of above and beyond customer service and will most likely be a customer for life because of it. One of the sales persons knew I was in a hurry to get to a baby shower and not only assisted me with a very large item but also volunteered to wrap it for me if I bought wrapping paper there. Hands down saved me a ton of time and I really appreciated her willingness to make my day a little easier. Meredith was the sales reps name and hands down one of the most helpful sales clerks at any department store I have ever been to. And for that I will be back!!! Thank you Meredith you made my day and I wasn’t late with the present!!!

This store has the worst customer service i have ever experienced. Not only from the girl wHo rang me up but also from management. I will never shop here or any target again. They were the most ignorant people i have ever met at a store and i travel for a living.

This was one of our more visited Targets. For the most part it was normally pretty quiet here, good for shopping. It’s now closed.

If I have to go to Target, I’d definitely pick this one. Large. Two stories. I always find what I need. The aisles are big and so are the carts. But I’m pretty sure that’s a marketing ploy. If you have a big cart, do you feel the need to fill it up? Whatever. They are doing some construction at this location but I don’t see what in the heck they are going to fill up all the space with. Maybe more grocery items? More aisle space to push your huge cart thru? More marketing ploys, I say. Oh well. I’ll still go to Target because my «capitalistic trained» psyche will always have a need for big box stores once in awhile.

Two stars for this particular target. It’s the closest one, but we try to go to the Airport location as much as possible. The employees haven’t been as helpful as other locations. The store is not as clean as others and the layout is more confusing by having two levels.

Newly remodled. I was super happy there was a Target close to our hotel. We actually came here a few times during our stay in Portland to get things we needed. This is a 2 story location and it is super spacious. They also use handled paper bags here and not the white plastic bags that I’m used to. It was like heaven to me… shopping at Target, tax free!

I cant say enough about this location. They have really perfected customer service. Whenever I am in any department, even if i dont look lost someone will most likely ask me how can they help. I have been in the store at 10am and 10pm and its always the same. They have a lot of options and its a pretty big store with some great deals. I have to say also, i appreciate how they handled «black friday» it was very efficient. They were able to get the customers that were waiting in line in and out. We didnt get in line but by they time we came back at 12:15 that entire line was in the store.
Great job!

This is the closest Target to me, and it’s on my way home from work, so I stop by a lot when I’m heading home. It’s easy to access from the freeway. The parking is a little effed-​up right now, with construction in the lot, but as soon as that gets taken care of, it’ll be right back to being super convenient.

Easy access off of the Interstate and near the airport. One of the larger Target layouts.

2 stories!

5 Stars… really? Maybe I’m crazy, but every Target I’ve ever been into has something in common. Ah yes, that’s right, it’s the exact same store. The only thing that speaks for this one is its location (next to every other strip mall store you know) and the fact it introduced me to shopping cart escalators. Get excited for big bog retailers.

I have been here a lot since I used to live right by it. I like it, it gets 5 stars because out of all of the times I have gone there I have never had a problem. It’s just another retail store that does a good job.

So I never intended to go to this far north Target. Being new to the city, I don’t mean to go to a lot of places. Washington State comes to mind. Which I almost landed in again. Stupid Washington’s head on the freeways. I pulled off at what I believe is the last exit in Oregon. I was so upset I had to get a milkshake at Burger King.
After the calm that can only come after imbibing a chocolate… anything, I drove around trying to find the freeway entrance. Then I saw the sign: Target. I didn’t mention this before, but before getting totally lost I was headed to the Mall 205 Target. I wasn’t a fan of that location, but I just had to get a few things.
You know that BS that people tell you when things are in the dumps? You know, «Everything happens for a reason»? Well, I’m beginning to think there’s truth in that. This is a far better Target. It is cleaner, has a better selection, brighter and the people are amazingly helpful. There must have been five people in red shirts (I’m assuming they worked there) asking if I needed help finding anything. I once asked for my mother (who was shopping with me). The guy looked a little worried before I let him off the hook.
I will most likely never, ever go here again. It’s too far away for me. Yet, I’m glad fate found it for me.

I am the Target shopping KING!
I seek the mark-​downs
I find the mark-​downs
I buy them!
I have an internal map of the store and a specific rout in which I follow every time I am here.
I don’t like the store; though I love the deals I find and I love that it isn’t Wal-​Mart!

This is actually a review of the online Target… I bought 4 clothing items recently and though they all should’ve been identical, one was clearly labeled incorrectly by the manufacturer (not Target). I’d already washed them and pitched the packaging, so there was no way I could return them. At 4:40 on a Sunday I filled out their customer service form on the website — and 20 minutes later, «I’m sorry for the trouble you had with your order. I know how frustrating it can be when an item doesn’t work out, so I’m glad we can help. I’ve already got a replacement on its way, with no new charges» appeared in my inbox. Magic. Now I can donate the other item to charity, don’t have to hassle with a return or getting stuff shipped… which means Target completely rocks.

Is it just me or does there appear to be an influx in songs dedicated to, directed at, or otherwise regarding «Shorty»?
I’m not really up to date with the hip hop /​pop world (Wasn’t the NOW 1,473 CD just released?) but I assume there is some overarching admiration or distain implied when using the aforementioned term.
Thankfully though Target is there to set me up with everything I might need to know so I’m cool if ever called in to chaperone a high school dance. Don’t want to be shocked when the DJ doesn’t spin some Cypress Hill or Beastie Boys.
And while they do the Top 40 tunes well, they actually have an alright selection of the most common alternative, rock, country, comedians you might be looking for… for your «cousin’s birthday» (right– your secret is safe with me). I’m also kinda digging the «buy the mp3» card, if you don’t want to fall into the monopolized iTunes route of digital music download.
While pop culture seems to change faster than I change my radio station on the daily commute I can always count on the Big T to have what I need across the board. If it’s cool enough for the dorm room /​first apartment then it’s probably here, and easy to find without going insane in the membrane… insane in the brain.

Ok, Target gets a full 5 *s from me today because:
1. I finally fulfilled my children’s Christmas gift promise and found a Wii this morning (ok, so what if it is March, have you tried to find these things??) and I didn’t pay the rip-​off stick-​it-​to-​you bundle prices you get on eBay. I paid retail price: $ 249.
2. My just became a teen daughter (who is trying really hard NOT to like places like Hollister, Aeropostle, SunPac, American Eagle and who knows what other trendy name of the day store just because all her friends shop there) let me take her into the Target store today and «just see what they have.» We bought 22 items and the grand total came to $ 242. Not only did she get summer clothes but we found things for her sister and little brother, too. Hallelujah, no more trips to the mall.
3. Target made me a hero today; Wii AND teen daughter clothes.

This store seduces me — especially the bed and bath section. Clothing: great place for cheap, quality basics like tanks, T-​shirts, plain accessories… the selection of gold and silver jewelry is not bad either. Good end-​of-​season sales. Grocery: surprisingly good box wine, premium chocolates and dry goods. This is cheapest place to get your 4-​packs of energy drinks or Frapps in the bottle. Electronics: meh. For you Vancouver-​ites, it’s sales-​tax free and just right across the Interstate bridge.

This Target is one of the newer BIG ones. BIg, you say? Aren’t all Target stores big?
NO! They are not! Most are big, but some are GI-​normous!
Some Targets have two storys with a magical escalator that takes your cart upstairs for when you need home storage, cleaning products or baby clothes.
They have fantasmical sales and some really great party supplies.
I don’t like their «world market» furniture and décor area… its a little too pier one cheesy, but I think they are phasing that out.
And, oh three million cheers for the temporary proenza schuller selection of women’s clothes. YEAH!
