Target

I frequent this target on a regular basis and my main complaint is the checkout process. Ever since they’ve implemented the self checkout registers I’ve opted to check my self out because I’m fast, prepared and I know what I’m doing and they tend to only open a few registers and always have long lines. But now at self-​checkout they NEVER have any employees standing by in case any issues occur. So when the machine has run out of receipt paper, I’ve had to wait and wave someone down. When the machine ran out of coins to give me change, I’ve had to wait and wave someone down. When the barcode didn’t scan a «clearance» item because only clearance barcodes can be scanned at a regular checkout, I’ve had to wait and wave someone down who then transferred my entire purchase to another register. Not to mention the wait for inept customers who have no idea what they’re doing and then cause an error to pause their checkout process and guess what? We ALL have to wait and wave someone down for the problems to be fixed! My suggestion… ALWAYS HAVE A CASHIER STANDING BY AT SELF CHECKOUT! They do it at almost ALL other targets with self checkout, so why can’t they?

Extremely crowded location, but with plenty of parking. It’s not too organized, but you will surely find the items that you may need.
The customer service here is great and there’s plenty of cashiers.

This Target location is awful. Customer service needs some serious work, and the store is cluttered and disorganized, especially towards the end of the day. Employees were lounging around and the manager was yelling at them to go do work. Completely unprofessional environment.
My biggest issue with this place: I placed an online order for store pick-​up in mid-​April, and received an email that my order was delayed until the beginning of May. On the last day of the delay time frame, I contacted Target customer service via web chat, and the representative confirmed that he called the store and the item would be available at the end of the day. At 10:30PM, I went to the store to see if they could locate my order. Not only were the representatives at customer service dismissive about my concern, it turns out that the order has been in the back this whole time, and no one had bothered to scan it in. The Target employee who ended up helping me find my order in the back told me he usually works at a different store. Honestly, he was extremely helpful and would’ve brought up my rating on this review, but he doesn’t even work for this particular location.
In addition, I purchased some items that qualified for a discount (buy $ 20 of personal care items, receive $ 5 GC). After I spoke with two employees who confirmed that the items in my purchase qualified for the $ 5 GC, I got home, and saw that they had charged me $ 5 for the gift card. At this point, it’s not even worth returning to have them make the adjustment.
I’ve had a much better experience at the Targets at Lakewood Center and Westminster.

I was a Target today, in the afternoon, when I left I realized that possibly I left my good red Ann Taylor sweater in the cart and went to guest services, and spoke with a Linda Ramirez. She was no nice and courtliest and so helpful and carrying and very professional. and checked to see if someone had turned it in. I left and when I got home after looking or tracking the places I had been, there was a message from Linda Ramirez stating my sweater a guest had turned it in. It is so nice in today’s times that like Linda has that personal carrying customer service that comes such a long way in today’s times. The others employees at target were also very nice and took the time to help as well. I feel that it is important to express my appreciation and reward a employee for the work they do.
Sincerely.

Went in today Mathew was my check out he was awesome. Very nice. Especially with all my cupons. Shawanda on the other hand was rude, your not cute lady.

¹⁶⁄₁₀₀ Oh RED DOT BOUTIQUE, I really love you so so much! You always make me spend money, and I always seem to be proud of myself when I can spend under $ 100 inside your walls.
This is my home Target, all the checkers are super sweet and if anyone is in the aisles, they actually ask if I’m finding everything I need.
There’s not much else to say about this Target, except that it is always clean and organized in the $ 1 section (great job), and actually in every section.
Thank you neighborhood Target for being a constant in my life. Never go away. Thank you.

No corn starch. Two kinds of corn meal. Rice flour. Cake flour. XANTHAM GUM. But no corn starch, the one thing I needed. And the cashier asks, as usual, «Did you find everything you’re looking for?» I tell her no, an what it is. No offer to find/​get it. Why do they bother asking? GRRR…

Easy to get in and out of. Generally well stocked and clean. The staff is generally pleasant as well.
The shopping basket attendant can stand to pick up the baskets a few times a hour, instead of once during their shift. I think I see more baskets in the parking lot than I do in the store.

I have to say that I have never had such a bad shopping experience as I had today at Target. Debrah the store manager really needs to go back to training!!! Customer service ZERO!
I went in today with my twins in their double stroller due to the fact that they did not have any of their cars available. When I asked. they simply replied that there does not seem to be any around. Did not care to see if any were on the floor. So I then went to customer service and asked if there was a customer representative that could assist me while I was shopping. I could not push the stroller and shopping cart. The target representative called someone on the phone and told me that I would need to wait 15 minutes for someone to help me. SERIOUSLY… you have a bunch of employees on the floor that are just standing there. I was polite and said that is fine. I will wait where the diapers and formula are. I waited and waited. No one showed up. I then asked someone else to help me that was standing around. She appeared bothered. I simply said I just need some formula and diapers to be put in a cart and taken to customer service where I will pay for them. She agreed to help me. When I went to check out I mentioned to the service representative that their formula was more expensive than Vons and Babies are Us and that I would like a price match. They said that they did not price match with Vons and Babies R US. I told them that is not what their policy states. It does not specify specific stores. They then changed their story and said that they needed a printed add. I said it is their regular price and the only reason why I was here buying it was because I had gift cards. I went on line and found the price and they told me they could not accept their price. They then scanned the item at hand and found it was priced wrong on the shelf. Again they did not apologize. From there I went to the pharmacy to ask the pharmacist about a cream for my baby boy that the Dr. had recommended. She too acted like she hated her job and life. And actually gave me the wrong information. Thank God I went to Walgreens after where they were courteous and delighted to help me.
On my way out I found a young man and asked him to help me with my cart to the car. He was sweet and thoughtful and said it would be my pleasure to help you today. This young man that must of been a HS student was the only person in the store that knew how to treat a human being. FYI Target employees if you are unhappy with your life and job get some help and dont take it out on your shoppers.

Not crazy about this location because of the homeless people that were parked outside the entrance with their shopping carts filled with all their belongings. Was even less thrilled when I was leaving the store and was harassed by one of these homeless individuals who was wandering around the entrance/​exit section of the store.
I must say that Alexis W deserves 5 stars. She checked me out fast and efficiently and was nice to talk to. :-)

This target location is one I never come to… I was in the area and decided to drop in after years of never shopping here. Now I remember why… the parking lot set up is a rat trap. One way in and one way out if you survive the clowns and their crazy driving that is inside the lot. Its almost like being casted for SAW. Once you fight for a parking… you are met by a store that has been ransacked by savages. I feel sorry for the staff that works there.
At least the customer service was rather good as the cashier was nice and helpful.

Stopped by this Target to get the Star Wars The Force Awakens CD since the Carson store couldn’t find their qty of 10 that they showed in stock. This one is located off the 405 in Signal Hill. The parking lot here is pretty big so lots of parking available. The checkout area is similar to the Gardena and Redondo Beach location where they have two registers in each row so people go crazy finding the shortest line lol. They had the CD so i left happy.

This is the friendliest and most well-​organized target in the area.
I went here for xmas shopping and was greeted by friendly staff. I asked where Christmas items would be located in the store, and they gave me directions to their holiday aisle with a smile.
I must also mention I took notice that this store had the same great price that I saw online. (I went to other targets in the area where this wasn’t the case).
Although they didn’t have the item I wanted in stock, the aisles were so well organized that I could tell it wasn’t here so I has happy I didn’t have to waste my time searching other aisles or rummaging through crap to see if it was hidden elsewhere.
While taking my leave to search another Target store, a staff member whom was carrying boxes stopped me to ask if I needed help finding anything. So kind! You don’t find customer service like this nowdays. I was really surprised and happy with my experience here. Will be coming back to do my regular shopping at this Target from now on. Happy holidays!

I’ve been here many many times and my experience is exactly the same. All the associates are helpful and friendly. Fast service and easy to get to. I’ve been to the one on bellflower and it’s always busy and don’t give bags.

This location is the closest to my house, so naturally the most convenient. The customer service is always pretty good. I was excited about the new self check out, but had problems with it both times I tried. Better off just waiting in line for a cashier.
Also, they don’t sell beer or wine at this location FYI. Sterns Liquor up Atlantic has an awesome selection, but the Fresh and Easy across the street is conveniently close by and open late.

The lines are always so long here, and the selection is not that great. I might have mentioned this in another review but they DONT SELL ALCOHOL. Boo. I only come here because it’s the nearest Target.

I normally buy grocery at Trader Joes and I didn’t really go to Target for groceries but when I came across with their meat section, I had to try out.
They packaged nicely and apparently they made improvements on lighting and the meat just look good. Also competitive pricing.
They are Smaller portioned and reasonably priced. Trader joes have more meat in a pack and more expensive. I’m not really red meat eater and when I do, I just eat a little so this works well.
BTW Produce don’t look good… I wouldn’t but other stuff from here.
Other than that Target is just Samo Target to me.

I have been to many Target locations. This one by far is one that has always provided me with great service and cleanliness all around. There really isn’t much more than can be said about this Target except for what I just stated. Lines here can be long but move fairly quick.
Located right by 405 freeway Atlantic Ave. exit, this Target is 2 stories with much to offer. It does get packed, especially during the weekend. Parking is plentiful. This is the Target that I frequent the most whenever I am in the LBC.

This place is always packed for some reason. but I guess that’s the case for all Targets. This Target is closest to my house and it is conveniently located near the 405 so it makes a nice pit stop to pick up snacks and whatnot before a road trip or if I need to grab something on the way home.
Parking here can be a nightmare on busy days but I like to avoid crowds so I park further away and walk to the store.
This Target is nicely stocked, always having the items that I am looking for. Nice customer service and there’s always a lot of registers open, especially when it’s super busy.

I do most of my grocery shopping at target. It’s about eight minutes away from my house and if you avoid the parking lot and park on 33^rd st. You can park close to the front door.
A couple years ago they started selling groceries and they slowly been expanding which works well for me. I usually hit it at around noon on a weekday and I can get in and out of there pretty quickly. They also have a Starbucks and a Pizza Hut in there so that works well if I need a little caffeine or if I need some grub.
They have some nice cheap stuff and there is a Walmart nearby that also has the same kind of stuff but target is definitely nicer.
