Target Stores Reviews

Profiled during checkout. Made my kids cry. Triggered my ptsd and began yelling at me when I began to cry. I should’ve known because the woman in front of me was told she looked like a thief. They went through all her bags, made her take everything out of her bags, checked the receipt, then told her, "Everything is on here but you look suspicious, next time I’m checking your purse too." This woman literally had a wallet purse btw. Then this self-checkout lady named Alice did the same thing to me! She told me, "You ** people always sneaky and try to take stuff so I go through all your stuff just like last lady."

I went to Target Optical to get my eye exam. I got a pair of glasses with my insurance over $200 plus $35 for warranty. I went back today for the warranty. They wanna me to pay $20 copay which I was never told about it so I cut my losses and walk away. I learn my lesson.

Today was the last day I'm shopping at Target. They failed to stand by their product and Customer Service was nasty and a disgrace. Shop online every month and spend 200 hundred to 300 dollars a month because I'm disabled and can't drive. Today was my final day Shopping at Target. I refuse to be treated like garbage from Customer Service.

I applied for the Red Card and found it is not a debit card. It is only a card linked to your checking account. It is not FDIC insured and is another avenue for your information to be stolen. Target has had a long history of personal data breaches. They added this potential breach to "provide" better piece of mind. Additionally, Target says it can take 5-7 business days to process payments using Electronic Funds Transfers (EFT). This is not the case. Target has taken up to two to three weeks to process these payments.

Target.com is a terrible place to shop. I did not receive my child Mario Game that I purchased for Christmas. We contacted them two days before the holiday to check and the call was answered by a guy from India who did not understand English and wrote all the info incorrectly. We complained about Mario games but he had it down as Mario games and Nintendo Switch. They did not contact us with any updates for over 45 days and when we reached out, they said, "Then and now you’re telling us the story doesn’t match" and they did not acknowledge it was the ** person’s fault. Then we were told "the item's return period ended on January 25, 2023 and the order is no longer eligible to be researched”. Which is 2 days afterward. That’s a Monkey Business and I do not recommend it to anyone.

I have had a Target debit card for years and have spent thousands of dollars there. I noticed in December there were multiple charges on my target debit card that I had not made. I reported these charges and never heard anything back. These charges were not significant so I wasn’t concerned with reimbursement just wanted my card blocked. I received a letter in the mail about a month later stating I owe overdraft charges for a charge that was returned. This was one of the charges I disputed.

Target is an unethical company participating in privacy invasion and harassment of Americans. The employees of this store in the Wilton and the Albany area have participated in organized harassment of their own neighbor. So have some "shoppers" at these stores. And there is vehicle harassment going on in the parking lots.

I bought four Target gift cards as Christmas presents in December. Two of the cards had no money on them when my daughters tried to use them. I called the phone number given on their website, and was told it would need to be investigated. I was told to send pictures of the cards and the receipt and it could take up to 14 days to hear what the resolution will be. Not very good gifts, sadly. I strongly suggest that you avoid buying Target gift cards.

Be careful when doing business with the NE side store in Cedar Rapids IA. They make their own rules in regards to the contracts when you go in to pick up. IDC if it was a PS5 or something else. They said in the email there would be no problems with me picking up the order my mom placed for my son. Got there & they refused to let me pick it up. My 78 year old mother had to drive in 30 miles on crappy roads so they could get her id. It clearly stated on the email that she would be notified when it was picked up & I was authorized to pick it up. The manager was so rude actually rolled her eyes at me. My son has autism. They got him so upset he started tearing up. Yes horrible customer service & no regards for the customer is always right. How pathetic - Target you have really disappointed us. :/

If you have Target gift card or you are planning to gift them, be aware I think their gift card system might have been compromised. I bought a gift card on Dec 04 in a physical store, and I have it with me all this time. When I try to redeem it on the Target app it was invalid. I call them and Target say it was redeemed online on the 6th, which is impossible as it was in my desk drawer. Someone was able to redeem the gift card without physical access to the card or someone was able to reproduce the security sticker that looks the same as the original one.

Bought 6 items, 5 were a higher price at check out than the shelf price. 2 of the items were almost $2.00 more. Inflation is real, but it's obvious corporations are jacking up prices because they can.

Bought an iPad and an Apple Pencil. Target shipped via FedEx. I got a delivery notice from FedEx but never received the package. My security cameras confirmed that NO package was delivered. Also, according to the FedEx driver the package was signed by H HENRY. This person doesn't exist in our house or for that matter our neighborhood. FedEx did want to do anything about it and Target just said it was delivered. I lost the money. NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE CROOKS!

Target optical.com Prescription glasses Order # ** took almost 1 month, and received wrong defective, last week replacement is on the way, till hold on to return, today I been told there won't been no replacement until I return is completed, and in the meantime we are sorry for going blind without, don’t work or drive. Illogical customer service with bad attitude. I will never recommend any purchase at target.com.

Today I visited the Target Store located at 4037 Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd, Durham, NC 27705 for about 10 minutes. I went to the jewelry dept. for a pair of inexpensive earrings and a necklace for my recently deceased mother to wear for her funeral service and burial at the end of the week. While browsing the jewelry section, I noticed a Target employee standing approximately 10 feet away filming me with her mobile phone. She kept the phone trained on me at all times, regardless of where I moved around the jewelry rack. Note that this was not expensive or fine jewelry behind a case, this was cheap jewelry on a rack.

Was on the phone for about an hour trying to right Target's wrong. A package was delivered to me that was addressed to a different person at a different address, but that point took over a 30 min. to get across to customer service due to a language barrier. The customer service person was polite, but could not get the information that I gave him correct. My call was then transferred to the next level of customer service and all the info. had to be repeat yet again and again. Was told that Target does not have a system to pick up packages that have been delivered to the wrong person. Was asked if I could drop off the package myself to their customer. Said "No" to that. Was then asked to drop off to a Target store. I shop online too. Defeats the purpose if I am to deliver packages back to the store when they made a delivery mistake when I don't shop in store myself. Target needs to correct this delivery weakest in their system.

Horrible online order support! I ordered an instapot, online, for pickup in the store. It was thru a wedding registry. Online stated it was in stock at my local store. I got there to pick it up & it was NOT in stock. Clerk told me I needed to go online & choose the mailing option. When I looked, the item is listed "online only" on the registry. Obviously not true, since I was able to place the order for pick up. Then, when I wanted to choose to have it sent to me, it said "shipping not available"! I called 2 stores, to the pickup dept & got no answer. Phone just rang & rang. I tried online chat, several times & it kept disconnecting!

Due to the elf fantasy and takeover of the planet, a living thing can no longer purchase anything of any value. I used a small cookie sheet that was new under the broiler, it turned cockroach orange. I used it two or three times since then and it now has sodomite cockroach rust eating the pan where you would place the food. Pure junk. It was purchased in Savannah, GA at Target.

After a really terrible recent experience with a target online order and horrendous customer service I will no longer shop at any target store. I placed an order online for 2 nightstands. When the shipment arrived I quickly realized target had sent the wrong items- the pieces were not what I ordered, they were tall storage cabinets and not even close to the look of the nightstands I had paid for. I contacted their customer service and they advised they would place a new order, they did not want the items back because they were too heavy.

My horrible experience was exasperating enough that I'm taking time to write this review. I purchased several Target gift cards at Christmas time. I am very sorry I did because I tried using one myself. I could never obtain the 5 items I wanted to pick up at the same store location. Then a fee was added. After hours spent trying to make one stop at ONE location, I tired of the entire experience and decided to take the cash and spend it at one store (not a target). Well Target would not redeem the card for cash NOR refund my money. Target is off my list of places to shop.

Much of the merchandise I want is no longer in the store. The things they do have skyrocketed in price. Their delivery service is slow and unreliable. I’ve found out the next day that they don’t have an item I’ve ordered. The store brand products used to be good, now they are garbage. Realize I am liberal. I’m turned off by their “woke” marketing. The staff was rude on my last visit. I’ve started shopping regularly at Walmart for the first time in my life and I’ve found the employees to be friendly, the deliveries are lightning fast and the quality of their merchandise is far better. If I’m ordering online I know immediately if they don’t have something. They usually have everything I’m looking for at my neighborhood store. It’s sad. I’ve shopped at Target for over 30 years but I’m done with them.

In 2022 I have had a lot of issues with the Target Stores especially 10401 MLK Jr Highway. The prices are not displayed on all merchandise in accordance to the law of fair advertisement. The staff for the most part need a lot more training and coaching. The manager never comes out to talk with the customer when needed. Because of the employee mistake on a few of my returns I am not able to exchange nor return anything without a receipt when I had a receipt and was forced to take a merchandise credit card. Also I am 68 and get disrespected from the employees all the time.

I ordered an item on Target.com. Items got delivered. Missing one package. I reached out to Target. I was told to wait 48hrs package will be delivery. I never got my 3rd package. I reached out again, I was told to wait 7 days. I waited still nothing. Only to be told by Target FedEx stated it was delivered so there is nothing they can do. So I paid for an item I never received. I have called all departments. I was told to reach out to FedEx myself. Who in the world says that to a customer who has paid for an item. If that was the route why did Target asked me to wait 48hrs then 7 days. I feel scammed by Target. I will never recommend Target to anyone.

I received a $50 gift card for my birthday and tried to use it for an order online purchase. When I went to checkout and scratch the back of the card for the access number the sticker wouldn’t peel off properly to see the number. The sticker started to break off into pieces and the number wasn’t visible enough to use. I called customer service to see if they would give me a replacement and they told me to download the app to scan the bar code on the back only for an error to show up after several attempts. They then asked for me to provide an email to send a picture of the back of the card so they could verify there was still a balance. After sending it, they then tell me that they don’t have record of the card in the system probably because it was purchased in the store.

I called to have an item price matched. The lady told me it could be done and she told me to purchase it while on the phone. After I purchased the item, she tried to give me the difference. She then stated that it can not be done because it was through a third party. If that was the case, she should of told me that it couldn't be done before she told me to purchase the item. I would have just went through Walmart.com.

Target has recently increased their prices, some only 5%, while the majority of prices went up 25% or more. Meanwhile, they provide their employees with decent starting salaries, but give raises at anywhere from .5% to 3%. Maybe they should take some of their 13 billion in profits and take care of their employees. The COO makes over 12 million a year in salary and the CFO makes more than 20 million a year salary. It is pathetic in any business that these people think they deserve such a salary (if you break down the 12 million to 40 hours per week, it is 5,769 per hour), but yet they are so proud of the fact that they start their people at $15 per hour. Maybe if the top tiers gave up some of their salary, they could pay their people an actual living wage and maybe give them decent raises. Who needs or deserves to make over $5,000 per hour. NO ONE deserves that type of salary.

I am a 74 year old Air Force Veteran and I was refused service at the Target store located at: 2430 Santa Barbara Blvd, Cape Coral, Florida 33914. I was refused by a cashier and the store manager the purchase of a case of “Hard seltzer water” because I didn’t have a card with my birthdate on it. The Veteran’s Administration I.D. with my picture on it. PLUS my obvious age should be proof enough that I’m old enough to purchase “hard seltzer water”. I complained to the BBB for Target's headquarters in Minnesota and got nowhere.

It's incomprehensible that they ship baby puffs in the same box with baby wipes, toilet paper and other boxes. My items were crushed inside the bags and two popped open. The app and website force you to select from limited options then request the food to be packed up and returned to them for a replacement or refund. It's absurd. Hire a shipping manager that can use basic common sense when packing items.

I do not buy a whole lot from this store anymore. I used to, that is why I got their credit card in the first place. I bought a hand vac that would never charge properly. I tried another and had the same issue. About a year later I tried to buy a gaming chair, online. When it arrived there was not ONE single hardware piece in the box (which was taped up, by the way, when it arrived). All that was in the box was two cushions and the bottom plate to the seat cushion. No arms, not screws, no wheels, not even the wheel base. After I ordered it, I noticed they had dropped my limit, for not using them enough. THIS is the kind of crap that has had me NOT use them. They will probably go the way of Kmart, I imagine. Poorly managed business all the way to the top.

Target throws liquid and delicate items that might break during shipping loosely into boxes without any kind of protective wrapping, only some air filled bags on top, which do absolutely nothing to protect the items. My order just arrived with the dishwashing spray bottles leaking. Also, the white target tape they put around the spray nozzle and where the cap screws on does nothing to prevent leaking either. Most of the tapes were wet with liquid when I removed them. Target's shipping department needs to do a much better job.

After over 10 years of having a red card, in November did not see the email bill. Noticed I missed the payment. I called and paid in full the 55 dollar balance. Customer service said it would not go on credit report because I was never late. Well they reported it and my perfect credit score was ruined for 55 dollars. Called back CS. Rude and would not help. Canceled my card because they also lowered my limit to 200 dollars. Target does not care about my business.
