Target

This is a review for the pharmacy. Worse experience ever. I waited one hour for a prescription. And no attention is paid to your insurance card details to ensure all is good. I won’t be back.

Love coming for every bring I could possibly need. Have never run into an issue where what I want isn’t available. :)

I used to love the practical feel of this Target. Yes, it has to update once in a while, but the new design is awful. I’m not saying people should buy pizza and hotdogs for $ 2 – 3 or popcorn or slurpees — only — but to put up a quasi-«stylish» takeout for $ 6.99 a salad or chicken is MISERABLE. Hate the chalkboard back wall in Starbucks depicting Africa or wherever. Target has taken away the family option. I don’t like screaming kids, but the promise of a short stop for pizza or a Starbuck’s for $ 5 – 6 is now a $ 20 affair.

i have been going to this Target because it’s nearest me.
i have found that they carry most everything i need/​want at decent prices and i am very happy that they have a HUGE selection of women’s clothing.
but i absolutely hate the layout of the store.
i am also skeptical of the many, many check out lanes when there are only three or four people that actually have a lane open. self checkout seems pretty popular but the lines are insane sometimes.
i will say i was happy, shopping today, for two reasons:
1. they were running a 25% promo discount on all bath & beauty items (though not hair appliances, like the blow dryer i was checking out)
2. the manager had a few cashiers open up so that the wait was much less.

Target came through for me!!! Big time!!! I was able to buy an Xbox one on Black Friday, they had them in stock all day and night even until u eventually purchased my at 9:00 p.m.

Anyone who has been to a pharmacy knows that it’s not a day at the amusement park. So you’d think it wouldn’t surprise me that Target pharmacy sucks. Well guess again. Target pharmacy takes suckage to a whole new level. Everyone there looks like deers in headlights.
Went to Target pharmacy to fill a prescription for a generic drug. After waiting 30 minutes the agent tells me that they don’t have enough in stock to fill my prescription and then just stares at me. This is the point where the agent is supposed to offer the solution. But no. She just stares at me blankly. So it’s clearly my responsibility to come up with a solution so I ask her if she can just give me what’s in stock and I can return in a few days to pick up the rest when it comes in stock. She says «oh» with a surprised look and follows with «let me check if that’s okay.» Wait what? Isn’t that common practice to do a partial prescription. You have to ask??? It should have been offered!
So she checks with the pharmacist and the pharmacist says yes. So she fills what was in stock and rings me up. The price of my GENERIC medication comes out to be more than the brand. So I say «how could the generic cost more than the brand name medication? That doesn’t seem accurate.» By the way my medication has never come out to that price at any other pharmacy! So she says yeah, I dunno, that’s weird” and just stares blankly. Do you think she took initiative to make sure the price was indeed accurate? Nooooo. Of course not. At this point I just wanted to get out of there so I paid what I was pretty sure was not accurate pricing. They tell me to return in two days after 2 pm and the rest of my prescription will be in stock.
Fast forward two days, I show up, wait 20 minutes only for them to tell me that they were unable to get it in stock. That the manufacturer was out of stock. So they couldn’t have called me to let me know that instead of letting me waste time showing up??? So they tell me to return before I run out of medication (which is about two weeks). In between that time I contact the manufacturer who says that they have plenty of stock and have NO idea why the Target pharmacy is saying they can’t get any from the manufacturer. Gee, why am I not surprised.
So I return in two weeks and wait 30 minutes for them to tell me that they’ve been «trying everyday for two weeks to order the medication and have been unable to get any from the manufacturer.» Then they stare at me blankly, as is their pattern. They don’t offer a solution as any normal pharmacy would. No, just stare at customers blankly. So, again, it’s up to me to offer a solution so I ask if they can just give me a different generic (the brand of medication I take has 5 generic versions, one of which I’m sure was in stock). So again, they look surprised and say «let me ask.» Wait what??? Substituting for a different generic is COMMON practice as long as a script doesn’t have the «no substitutions» box checked (and mine doesn’t).
So after asking the pharmacist they say they can substitute. So after waiting another 20 minutes they fill the remainder of my script and ring me up. I see that they’ve substituted for the brand. Do you think they checked to see what the generic versions were and whether they had one of the other generic versions in stock? Nope. They didn’t. Then here comes the kicker. They tell me I owe them X amount of dollars because the brand costs more than the generic. Ding, ding, ding. Okay dodo birds, two weeks ago you charged me a higher price for the generic than the brand and told me the generic costs more than the brand, which I said didn’t sound accurate. Now two weeks later you’re telling me the opposite. You see the problem here? So when I bring this up to the pharmacist… wait for it… she just stares at me blankly! omfg. No checking of the price, no solution, no checking to see if I was overcharged last time. Nothing. Just staring at me blankly.
Have you seen National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation when Chevy Chase receives a gift card for the jelly of the month club instead of his yearly bonus and has an epic meltdown? Yeah I was five seconds from that so I just hurried up and paid and got the hell out of there. Otherwise I would have gone Rihanna on them in her «Bitch Better Have My Money» video and locked one of them in my trunk. Needless to say I’m transferring my prescription elsewhere. There’s no way I would torture myself by ever going back to a Target Pharmacy.
Dear Target:
«I want to tell you what a cheap, lying, no-​good, rotten, four-​flushing, low-​life, snake-​licking, dirt-​eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-​sucking, brainless, dickless, heartless, bug-​eyed, stiff-​legged, spotty-​lipped, worm-​headed sack of monkey shit you are.»

My only complaint is that I spend too much time wandering around Target drooling over items I want to buy but ultimately can’t because this girl be on a budget at all times. Everyone here is extremely nice and helpful. Plenty of open registers every single time I come here, which is always a huge thumbs up.
Aaaand they have a Starbucks of course.

Going to target wears me out! Every time I come I know I’m going to get several things that just aren’t on the list. For the most part that’s ok. I love coming to this target because it literally has everything here. We can come in and grab a coffee and get whatever we need and don’t need off of our list. Today they are having great sales on wine and beer which is fabulous for us! It feels a little picked over at this time because it’s back to school season. Therefore, I suggest coming during the week or calling ahead for things you might want to get. For instance, we wanted to get new lunch bags but the selection is really small right now.

I just had a PSN card stolen from me by a cashier at this location. Check your bags before you leave.

This target has to be the best I’ve ever been to. The staff is so helpful and nice. Everytime I shop here, everything I’m shopping for is in stock. Plus there is always lots of awesome sales on wine, beer, and spirits on sale at amazing prices. If I have one stop on the weekend to get supplies, I will always stop here. They have a little bit of everything you could look for.

I really enjoy this Target and always find ample parking when I go. This location can be very busy so I try to avoid going on the weekends if possible. The team members are friendly and very helpful when you need assistance. The prices are competitive and the store is very clean. There are always plenty of registers open at the checkout and there is café and Starbucks in this location as well. I always take advantage of the Cartwheel app and the Target debit card to save 5% each time.

Target is Target. They have a decent selection at this location, however, I’m under-​impressed by the quality of their produce. It’s not a grocery store though, so maybe my standards are too high. The bigger issue here is they NEVER have enough cashiers at the checkout. Ever. It doesn’t matter which evening or weekend time I go, I always find myself waiting in a line for more time than I should. One night I timed it, and it was over 15 minutes. I only had 2 items, and I spent more time in line than I even did shopping. I also don’t appreciate the attitudes of the people checking me out. I’ve worked at a Target store before, and I believe this location is below the Company’s standard. The only reason I continue to visit is because it’s the most convenient location to where I live.

This location is in the inner city and it is gigantic! They had a huge selection of many things (more than I have ever seen at any Target) and everything seemed to be in stock.
When it became time for me to check out I noticed that it was fully staffed and that the lines were moving quickly. I found myself waiting behind just a few people and even before I could advance forward, someone from a different register called me over so they could help me faster!
The lady cop at the front door (very similar looking to Sonya Blade from the Mortal Kombat series, was very nice and inspect my receipt quickly.
I tested every aspect of the merchandise I bought after I got home with it and everything worked great! No returns, very pleased.
Oh, and they had plenty of good parking, in fact, I have slept in this parking lot several times before in my younger years. It has a very safe vibe to it.

I’m not really sure why everybody hates on this location. Sure it can be busy, but it’s also one of the largest city targets that’s been updated inside, and it sits right between major traffic thoroughfares (Western…Elston…and right off of 94).
I find it to be fairly well stocked on the whole, though I agree with others that sale items can be a little picked over. I mainly stop in for last minute essentials, cleaning, and beauty products. The most limited department in my eyes is health/​pharmacy; they could really use a better stock of body wash, lotions, toothpaste, first aide, etc. As it stands, that section occupies one tiny congested corner, roughly 2 – 3 aisles right at the entrance.
Pros: larger store = moderate selection, generally clean, customer service is right in the grocery entry, and Chase ATM available too. The express lanes are helpful when you’re only picking up a few items, as long as people can figure out how to form appropriate lines. Easy parking in a large lot (and extra garage spaces around the right side/​back).
Cons: pretty busy, lots of noisy kids, long lines at checkout (depending on the day)

My Target! Couple times a month, every month… all my salon needs I get from here.
Easy parking… clean store… I love the layout… it’s just a great store!

When I realized how close I was to a Target, my eyes grew big and my wallet whimpered. It’s within walking distance to my place, though I always manage to buy way more than I can carry back to my place.
The layout is different than locations I’m used to back in Michigan, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it soon enough.
The returns counter is by the Elston entrance and free wifi helps when I just want to sit in the café area and putz around online.
I might have a Target addiction since I’ve had cashiers recognize me… Oh well!

There are separate lines for the express lanes. No one seems to know that so I will appear to jump in front of you while I go to register 4 and you are standing with a bunch of people by register 1.
Also, when comparing unit prices of generic target brands against national brands, they will use different measurements like quarts vs. cups. Just do the calculation in your head or smartphone to find the best deal.
Finally, make use of their Cartwheel mobile app for extra savings.

Target in Bucktown is good in a pinch but isn’t the best of the bunch, that’s for sure.
It’s super insanely crowded at all times. Kids running amuck, people not paying attention who they run into with their carts, general disarray.
They aren’t well stocked and don’t have some of the items in that are on sale. When they do decide to restock, it’s during peak shopping hours with workers strewn throughout the store with giant carts of items. They always seem to be just in the way of what you need.
Because it’s always crowded, parking outside can be rough.
This Target is in Bucktown and because of that has a great craft beer selection. A very surprisingly great craft beer selection. They had 5 Rabbit 6 packs (Vulture, Grass, Lizard and 5 Rabbit original) all on sale for $ 7.99 which is $ 2 less than it sells for everywhere else I’ve ever seen it.
Similar to what Kyle B. mentioned but substitute the word guy in there. This Target is full of what appear to be single (shopping baskets on weeknights) guys decked out in their plaid shirts, beanies & scruff.
Verdict is — I’m down with this Target for the most part but hate the crowds.

Saw this gorgeous table and I wanted two of it. Asked a girl if she can check if they had another one in stock. She scanned it and sees it’s available but tells me that «it’s … Somewhere»
Huh?
«It’s a new item, it’s in the back but still boxed up…»
Okay…
«It’ll be hard to find»
«I’m just starting to unload all these new stuff» as she points to other items she’s putting up on the shelf.
In my head I’m thinking (Wtf? You’re not even going to try ???)
So I told her I really wanted the table, she just laughed in my face.
I just walked away after that.
Ugh! Lazy mfs
