Target

A while back, I went to Target to purchase some snacks for my growing baby. Saw that they were having a sale on toys that said «get 20% off your entire purchase of toys» and the only exclusions I saw in the fine line were no Legos and nothing on clearance, the date was also valid.
I picked out a baby Einstein guitar TOY and. The lady at check out of course asked if I had a Target red card (yes, I know you have goals to meet a certain number or sign ups, but that doesn’t mean it’s not annoying AF. I USE to have a Target red card many moons ago and cancelled it because I like my rewards on my debit and credit card so much better. As much as I love you Target, you don’t give me the miles + occasional West Elm gift cards).
Anyway, I get to the checkout and the woman asks me the question that makes me cringe to save 5% which would ALMOST discount taxes… The system didn’t honor the deal. It’s like because I didn’t want a red card that she didn’t want to look into it a bit more by asking someone to check it out and what else was annoying? Well… The nosy lady behind me who says the deal is only on crockpots or some ish… CLEARLY, she only came for cook wear and wasn’t in toys anyway. So I paid full price and wandered to guest services to double check. It was IN their weekly ad and she even stated that my purchase should have gotten that discount and gave me the difference. It honestly would have been fine if I read the ad wrong, but it just bothered me that the woman at check out pretty much blew me off just because I didn’t want the stinkin’ red card

They need self-​check outs at this location, other than that it is my favorite target to shop at.

Most aggrevating store to shop. Boxes and carts blocking isles. Employees stocking shelves. Reminder as to why I don’t shop here. Left without buying what I needed. My last time shopping here.

It’s a Target. The biggest difference between this one and others is that they lack self-​checkouts compared to those that used to be solely human cashiers and installed self-​checkouts over time. But even though there are only human cashiers, they worked faster than the branches that possess self-​checkouts.
They have a lot more inventory availability than some of the other branches in this area. They still had some Pokémon games left in stock while other branches did not during the Pokémon promotional period. And they had the free cards as well during the giveaway day, and they were nice about it even though I was mostly getting them as a proxy for someone else.
The only issue I had at this location is that there was a high-​end beggar outside, while the branch at the Marketplace has a sign that states they’ll throw people out by comparison.

My «5 Star» rating is only because of an extremely special employee whom I met today at Target.
Went to Target today located at 26 762 Portola Pkwy, Foothill Ranch, CA 92 610. When I walked in, I needed to ask a question of one of the employees regarding recycling my water bottles. I walked over to Lori D.‘s register. She turned and acknowledged my presence right away. She greeted with with a big smile and she has such a wonderful sense of humor.
As I checked out, I ended up in Lori’s check out line. Immediately, we looked at each other and started laughing. We both kept saying, «Where have I met you? I know I’ve seen you before.» And… so on! It was driving us both nuts as we knew we had some sort of exchange or meeting, but neither of us could place it! Then, we both started laughing SO hard when we realized that it was me who walked in, asked her a question and we both made a funny comment with a play of words. SO happy that we put 2 and 2 together and figured out that we made each other laugh not long ago. Lori was so funny, so kind and so sweet. She absolutely made my day. Yes, it wasn’t anything major… but sometimes the smallest things make the biggest difference to others. Lori D. — please know that I thank you and I’m grateful for the smile and the laughs we exchanged. Next time I’m there, I will look for you… as you are worth any wait in line… just because of WHO you are! Great customer service is so rare these days! Target… you are truly fortunate to have Lori D. as an employee who cares about the customers! A rare find!!! Thanks SO much Lori!!!

Horrible customer service and long checkout lines. On our most recent visit, we attempted to return a couple of lamp shades we bought at the Mission Viejo store. They refused our return because we bought them at a different store.

The last four or five times I’ve been to this Target to buy food it’s either had mold growing on it within a few days (unopened months away from the expiration date) or the things on the shelves are expired. Milk g goes bad long before the date as well. I just found a can of green enchilada sauce that expired Nov. 2014. Good thing I checked the labels first. The pharmacy and other products are great bit don’t buy food from here!

I was on the search for those Corgi ornaments this Christmas season. All the Targets in Irvine did not have them. I happened to pass by this Target on the way to get some curry and decided to check if there were any. Lo and behold, the elusive corgi ornaments were there! I quickly got all of them and checked out.
The store is clean and quiet, and wasn’t as busy as other Targets in Irvine on a Sunday afternoon. They still have the old Target carts here, but I don’t mind; it’s still Target.

This Target used to be spot on but now every time I go here it’s a 15 min wait to checkout. Don’t they have employees? Why only 2 registers open… if you want to go plan on waiting a while at checkout.

I’ve been coming to this Foothill Ranch Target location since it opened and it has always served as a great alternative to bargain shopping across the street at that other big box store… I rarely shop here though, only because I never find what I’m looking for but I always tend to purchase something I may need; like a pack of blue Bic pens and a Loteria T-​shirt. A-​OK

Ridiculously annoyed. My mother and I get to the register and our laundry detergent is leaking. The man working at the cash register lets us know then runs over to the manager to tell them. They say «just put it here». The managers never sent a runner or anything, I felt bad for the young man working the register because he was concerned and tried to help while working a long line. I ended up running to the back and getting it myself after waiting 10min. Poor management.

two registers open, while Joey (the Target cashier) spent twenty minutes helping the three people directly in front of me with a few grocery items. The line behind me showed 10 customers waiting at this point but increased when leaving. While in-​line, I went over to the store phone twice and asked for additional cashiers. Holly, the Store Manager was not responsive so after ten minutes I called again asking to please send additional cashiers.
It wasn’t that the store was busy. It was the two cashiers on duty, were just very; very; slow. When I got up the Joey (the cashier), I over hearing all the questions Joey was asking: (EG what kind of onion is this?; what kind of vegetable is this? etc), and apparent questionable responses as to not understanding the produce pricing list he was searching through; I though well, be patient he was new to the job with maybe a few days experience. So I asked him when it was my turn: Shocked! when he told me he has worked as a Target Cashier for over a year. Really…
Recommendation: Target needs to consider an on-​the-​job training program (OJT) and a website that allows them to receive feedback would be nice.
It is now understandable why their stock is in the tank. Poor management starting from the top.

I came here for last-​minute Christmas shopping and had a pretty good experience. It fulfilled all my Target-​related expectations, and was a pretty standard visit. There was one weird thing though… at the food counter right by the entrance an employee was loudly commenting on the appearance of various female customers as they entered the store. Hence the 3 stars. And his comments weren’t even clever or well thought out. Even more reason for the 3 stars.

Inside Target, I was so delighted and surprised to walk in and at the Starbucks on the right find tins of full leaf Tazo tea on sale because you know they stopped selling the Tazo brand in the stand alone Starbucks stores earlier this year. I got two Awake and one Earl Grey.

As a longtime resident of Foothill Ranch, I’ve been disappointed to see this Target going down hill in virtually every aspect, from cleanliness to item availability to service.
It wasn’t until recently that it became startlingly apparent why. The employees are terrible, rude, and incompetent, and so is the management. I will never return to this Target (and possibly no others either), and I would advise that you avoid this place!
The last time I went in and attempted to use valid manufacturer coupons, I was called a thief by a checker because the item was almost free with the manufacturer coupon and Target’s Cartwheel app. Target’s policy specifically states these coupons are to be combined.
The specific employees who humiliated and slandered me in front of other shoppers were Ana and Jaime G. They yelled that I was trying to steal from the store WITH VALID COUPONS and even threatened to call security because I wanted to use a coupon!
I’ve filed a complaint with Target, but have of course heard nothing.
One of the managers of the store, Lindsay, is also incompetent (and probably one of the main reasons why the store is so bad). She recognized the coupons were real and valid, yet imposed her own arbitrary limits on what coupons could be used. For example, she stated that only one product per brand could be purchased, despite the fact that they were completely different products and completely different coupons.
She never apologized for the outrageous behavior of the Target employees, or that they yelled at me and called me a thief for trying to use coupons at their store, which accepts coupons.
Bottom line, these facts show the employees at this Target location are sub-​par, which has a ripple effect on the entire operation.
I’ll never be back to this location, and would advise you avoid it!

There’s a very nice young gal working the Starbucks counter tonight. She bought her first car with her recycling money she started saving since third grade. Very pleasant shopping experience. they had everything I needed plus friendly employees.

We shop here every week, have returned items with no problem and generally have a good experience overall.
This location is pretty clean and organized and has some great sales so can’t complain.
It is also located right by our home so it’s convenient but I do find more things at the Jeronimo location although that Target is subpar.

Target is pretty much my go-​to place for those random everyday items I need. I usually enjoy wandering the aisles, just to see what I can’t live without. This location, however, makes me want to spend as little time inside as possible.
This Target seems like it has seen better days. There is an overall feeling that it is unkempt, with disorganized shelves and many items that appear to be out of stock, leaving empty space. A little merchandising (and cleaning) can go a long way!
While there is nothing technically ‘wrong’ with this location, it just isn’t as nice/​clean/​well stocked as some of the others, and kind of reminds me more of a Wal-​Mart (yuck!!) :/​

As we work only minutes away from this Target location it has quickly became a go to store for us while on our way home. The Target itself is designed nicely and features a large and open layout and most of the items are fairly easy to find. I love Target and am a huge fan of their stores but some locations far exceed others and this one leaves a bit to be desired in certain areas.
1. Why are the shelves in the food section often so barren? I don’t understand why places are so inept at ordering enough stock to fill the various shelves throughout this area. We often go to pick up milk or yogurt only to find one gallon of milk in the case with an expiration date two days away.
2. Always check your pricing at the register! I cannot count the number of times we have purchased something at a Target location where the shelf or sale paper price does not scan out at the register correctly. The amount of times this store overcharges is unbelievable to say the least and I have seen numerous locations with signs posted about this from the department of weights and measures.
3. Watch for moldy or open food! We came to pick up some berries from the fruit section and saw numerous containers of blueberries with mold throughout. We have also seen a watermelon with gashes through it simply sitting at the top ripe for the picking. Thanks but no thanks.
Not everything about this location is bad, the pricing is actually quite good and can save you some serious cash on food and allows you to avoid a trip to the grocery store which is always nice. The service can be non-​existent most of the time but is friendly when you can find the help. Another plus is the fact that they typically ave a good number of registers open so the lines move pretty fast even when extremely busy. We will continue to come here for the conveniency factor but there are far better Target locations out there.

Normally I enjoy my shopping trips and experiences to Target, but earlier this afternoon my daughter and I specifically came to this branch to pick up another car seat and there were approximately seven «display only» toddler car seats shown, but none were available for sale. The shelf underneath was completely empty! Did I just miss a big sale or something? Super frustrating because I wanted to have that second duplicate car seat installed by this weekend. We usually shop at our neighborhood Rancho Santa Margarita Target store, but they didn’t carry the specific car seat I had originally purchased from the Target store in Foothill Ranch.
On the opposing shelves were «display only» infant car seats as well as a handful of those car seats available for purchase. I scanned through those boxes and the neighboring aisle making sure that I wasn’t missing anything or that they weren’t out of place, but to no avail. Instead we decided to head straight to Costco and found an even better car seat with the same high ratings through Consumers Report at almost half the price! I should have checked Costco the first time around!
