Target

I went to target this afternoon on lunch. My co worker and I first walked in and had a nice genuine conversation with the beautiful girl at Starbucks. She was very knowledgeable and patient with the elderly in front of us.
We were then walking down the aisle by the furniture department and there were these two employees (blonde and brunette). They had went out of their way to decorate a display table just because it made the section more friendly. Lastly, we were checking out with Dillion. He was instantly welcoming and you can tell he loved his job! He had a funny sense of humor that made us wake up a little in our afternoon crash, before heading back to work. Overall, this target has amazing, hardworking employees that are clearly being treated right! Keep it up Target!

So you’re telling me that a place exists that has prices similar to Wal-​Mart but with out the people who look like they were just on an episode of Jerry Springer. Sounds good to me.
The parking lot here can be a little bit of a hassle & you might have to park far but they do have a very large parking lot. While this Target is very big it is not one of the super Target’s. However a lot of the reviews are saying that this place is outdated & needs a remodel but I don’t think that this Target is that outdated. To me this Target looks like a lot of the other ones.
The staff here is friendly & they seem to want to help you if you need it unlike the Wal-​Mart across the street. This Target does carry some frozen foods & groceries but it is not as up to date in this department as some of the other ones. Just like all of the other Target’s the prices are very fair & they do have a good selections of products.
Another plus about this location is that they always have a lot of check out lanes open & available. The check out process is usually fairly quick here even with a full cart.
Overall this Target is not the biggest or fanciest but it gets the job done & is well worth the trip. I would visit here again if I was in the area.

I worked at this Target a million years ago, before it was renovated. No, it’s not a Target Great land — which means that while it has some groceries, both fresh and frozen, as well as dry goods, it isn’t the same quantity or variety.
That being said, I’ve been here to shop for groceries after work with my boyfriend, and we were able to get what we needed for dinner that night. Would I do all my shopping here? No. Do they have duck bacon or organic quinoa? I’m going to say no. What is this Target? A great place to stop in and grab what you need, they have a nice variety (even in food. They manage to have stuff for my pizza roll loving boyfriend, and edamame loving me).
It even has a Starbucks.

No. No. No. I am not one to go out of my way to write a negative review on an establishment, but I have had way too many bad experiences at this Target over the course of many years and it doesn’t seem like anything has changed. First off, the employees that run are Starbucks are incredibly rude. On several occasions, I have wanted to grab a beverage before beginning my shopping and at times the employees have gotten an attitude with me when I have asked them to remake my drink. There had only been one occasion when the drink did not taste right. All of the other occasions, my drinks had been made wrong — I customize some of my beverages. If I am paying $ 5 at your store for a drink, I would like one that I can actually enjoy. Not something I didn’t even order! Second off, the pharmacy scares me. YES. I said it. Scares. Once, they literally tried giving me the wrong prescription. On a second occasion, I dropped my prescription off and I had been told they had the medication in stock, only to receive a call back about 20 minutes later letting me know they actually didn’t have it in stock and it was a mistake on their end. I guess that beats getting the wrong medication though… HAH. Also, when I call the pharmacy, I am always on hold for so long before someone can actually assist me. If they cannot help me at the time, they should give me a call back or let me leave a message, not put me on hold for literally 20 minutes… They also seem to mess my insurance benefits up a lot, sometimes trying to charge me prices that do not align with my benefits. Apparently, they cannot properly enter the correct info on my card (true story), and kept telling me my insurance card was invalid, forcing me to call my insurance and wait on hold for about 30 minutes only to shortly find out my insurance card was valid as assumed, and it was the employee that put in the wrong info. These are some experiences that have happened over the past 2 years, but some issues listed have been recent so it doesn’t seem like this location has gotten their customer service act together. I have spoken to their managers about 2 incidents, but it doesn’t seem like anything was addressed overall. Also, to note, this Target doesn’t have a lot of items that other Targets do so I prefer shopping at other ones when I am there to browse. They do have a decent clearance section though. For my overall experience, I have to give this place 1 star. I am trying not to be harsh, but when I try to avoid your store due to customer service, there is an issue.

Geez this Target is getting a bad rap. I like to stop here after work because it is convenient. This is just a regular Target not a Super Target or anything, but they still have a small grocery section and all the regular trappings of Target. I don’t do my regular grocery shopping at Target anyways so I don’t miss anything in the grocery section. This location also has a Starbucks inside.
I do find the set-​up at this Target to be a little strange. The different sections aren’t always where I expect them to be but I’ve gotten used to it. I haven’t had much interaction with the staff here but everything seems normal.
I still get sucked down the Target wormhole at this store and spend at least $ 50 when I only came in for a bottle of shampoo. That’s my own fault though.

I don’t understand the low reviews for this place. With all the reviews saying it was outdated, I was expecting a tiny, run-​down target with limited options looking like it was left off the list for Target remodels. But upon arriving, it was just like any other Target that we have back here in California (I was visiting my sister who lives in Barrington). I guess there are plenty «super-​targets» in the Chicagoland area that this doesn’t quite stack up against?
This Target had everything we were looking for and we were furnishing my sisters 1 bedroom apartment. They had a Starbucks inside, a small grocery section, and a large selection of everything we needed for the apartment.
It didn’t feel outdated at all. We have a LOT of outdated Targets in California and this one actually seemed like it was remodeled recently. Seems like they have all your basic needs, without the full blown grocery section.

I only go to this location because it’s on the way home from work, if it wasn’t I would avoid it entirely. Not only is it tiny for a Target but most of the staff should not be in retail. They have a floor supervisor that basically ignores you, if she knows how to smile, I have never seen it.
What I dislike the most about this place is that the supervisors are constantly asking the cashiers how many redcards they were able to get, over the walkie talkie and during my checkout. Can they really not see how uncomfortable this makes the customer? Personally, it makes me feel less like a guest and more like I am merely a dollar sign. Especially after being ignored.
I’ve also walked past as a manager was having a team meeting around goals in the middle of the sales floor. As a retail store manager myself, I understand the importance of these pow wows but there is a time and a place for everything.
I don’t see any focus on the customer. Based on my experiences, the focus is all on corporate compliance.
They do have a Starbucks inside although, I’m still trying to figure out when it’s open because it never has been when I’ve been there.

This is a Target so old and outdated that it’s neither a SuperTarget nor Target Greatland (at the very least, it’s not advertised as such), but it gets the job done in a pinch. We’ve stopped here many a time on the way to a house party to pick up some snacks or a last minute gift; however, there isn’t much in the way of groceries, which means we sometimes have to make another stop elsewhere.

My wife and I were getting ready to leave for a trip to Mexico. My wife breastfeeds our young son, but was bringing an electric pump for the trip. At 9pm the night before we leave we found that our jackass cats had chewed up the tubing to the pump. After a frantic drive to Target, I found that Target doesn’t sell the pumps by themselves. I asked an employee by the name of Cathy, I believe if there was anything she could do. She asked a supervisor by the name of Jason if they could take some tubing out of a demo model. He found some tubing, charged a reasonable price and the trip was saved! THIS was above and beyond customer service. The first margarita was in your honor!

Now-​a-​Days, Isn’t Image Everything?
I feel that this Target store was left behind when corporate decided to update all of the Target stores. In my opinion that doesn’t cut the mustard. A corporation needs to protect their image and I feel that this store brings them down. It’s like going back in time without the benefit of using a time machine. Now what fun is going back in time if you don’t get to use a time machine?
I guess that they sell some of the same stuff as the other Target stores but it doesn’t appear to have as much too choose from. It almost reminds me of that other store that sounds like SMALL FART.
And for that reason, I’m out (Shark Tank).

I come to target to buy one thing and I end up spending over $ 100. Story of my trips at target. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
This particular trip i went to price match something from the Target website and although the Target website was sold out, they allowed me to price match and buy in store which was so convenient and hassle free.
They also price match amazon prices which is awesome!

The layout is very weird. Only one entrance. And it seems outdated. There is a Starbucks inside, so that’s a redeeming point. However, definitely not my favorite Target by far.

(Edit 5÷17÷13) Either the customer service training is severely lacking, or the employees just don’t give a damn. When I was charged double for an item priced on sale, I was referred to the service desk. They did in fact process the credit, but when I pointed out that probably 9 out of 10 customers would unwittingly have walked out paying $ 12 more than the shelf price, the clerk’s explanation was «Everybody makes mistakes.» I did grumble something about the service at this Target getting worse. Her response «That’s one person’s opinion.» And I’m not happy about my response, which was, «I’m changing my 2-​star Unilocal review to 1-​star. Her response? «That’s fine.»
Actually, I don’t think it is.

(Original review)
You’re a manager, Andrew. Act like one!
Quick story: Lady lets go of cart in parking lot. Cart rolls into parked car, puts noticeable dent in side. Lady (apparently a good and honest woman) decides to wait for the owner to show up so she can exchange information. I go to the service desk and ask that they page the owner so s/​he can get to the dented cars, relieving Lady of a long wait with young child in car.
After some stumbling, manager is located, but quotes store policy against using the intercom for something other than (I can only assume) stock checks or calls to staff a register. I am told that an incident report can be filled out. I explain that there is a woman with small child waiting for the car owner, and an incident report hardly seems the most efficient method of dealing with the situation right there, that moment. A simple page would do that. Apparently, however, it does not conform to policy, and despite the fact that it would assist two customers (they call them guests!), he wouldn’t, couldn’t, or perhaps didn’t feel confident enough in his own ability and authority to make a common sense decision … something that would be both simple and of benefit to his customers.
It is also my experience that there is a kind of disconnect between pharmacy and OTC pharmaceutical items. At times the people behind the counter have little idea of what is stocked on the other far side of their domain, and may not even be even slightly familiar with some of the common OTC items there.
Target is a great store for a lot of things. This branch is not one of the better ones in the area.

It’s a Target. The middle sized kind.

The layout of this Target is odd. Perhaps because it’s very long and only has one entrance. With that being said, the store is kept in good order and I was able to get what I needed. I was a bit annoyed that random shelves had Clearance signs but nothing was there and no tags. As a bargain shopper, I’d like to know what it was missing!
