Target

I love Target, so much that I have called it «my happy place» on more than one occasion. This is always my Target of choice to shop at. At this particular location, you have one of the best employees in the electronic section by the name of Felipe. Felipe is very knowledgable, helpful, friendly, approachable, honest, personable, I could go on and on. Anytime I have needed a new game, gaming system, blu Ray, TV, iPad: I always go to this Target because of Felipe and his excellent customer service. This Target has a real gem in Felipe! It’s safe to say you have a repeat customer for sure in me!

I think this Target is OK. The layout is a bit weird, but it was one of the first stores in the area. I remember I was waiting for the train to go to downtown to a class and this lady asked me if I wanted a free Target Totebag at the train station. I looked at here like she was selling something. This was apparently the reaction she was getting from most of the commuters, because she looked at me as if to say «What is wrong with all you people?». I didn’t want to be rude, so I took the bag.
Anyway, I think that this is one of the better Targets for clothes. I am looking for women’s clothes in small or extra small sizes. They often have pretty good things on sale here. The Wheeling Target has a nice layout but is often almost empty. The Palatine Target is rather similar to this one and I think the layout is even stranger.
The Target stores I like better than this one include the Vernon Hills SuperTarget, Highland Park (really nice, but don’t buy anything but clothes, it’s all slightly more expensive) and the Glenview Target (which is better than this one, but not as nice as Highland Park). However, none of those are particularly convenient for me, although I will stop by if I am in those neighborhoods.
Sometimes this place gets busy and they are a bit ineffective, opening lines randomly and taking whichever people from the back of another line can B-​line over to the new register. Sometimes this annoys me, it depends on whether I am in a hurry or not. Also, there are a lot of slobs at this store who leave shoes sitting out and clothing all over the store. I feel sort of bad about that. I don’t know what gets into some people. Anyway, this is my main Target, and I sort of like it.

Not the best shopping experience I’ve ever had at a Target store. To date, this location really lacks in the organization department.
Every department I visited today; $ 1 Spot, women’s clothing and shoes were so messy. So messy that I immediately walked right out of the area and on to the next thing I needed.
I had a gift card to use and this location is the closest to my house. The only two reasons I find myself coming back here.
Cashier was super unfriendly today, unlike my last visit.
Prefer Super Target, but there just isn’t one conveniently located near me.
Pros: good location for me and they open early at 8:00am. Nice parking lot.

This is the Target that started my love for Target, over ten years ago. Actually, about fourteen years ago, when I was a wee freshman at the high school across the street. I’m sure I went to Target before I started high school, but my Target memories start around then. Memories including many lunch periods wandering the aisles, looking at stuff I couldn’t afford (yet), and eating pizza in the ‘food court’ of Target. Occasionally, my friends and I tossed ice at each other. Good times, good times.
Of course, once I matured and started working, I came here to buy the things that I loved from Target: clothes, accessories, media, and other ‘stuff’. I cringe when I think about how much money Target has recieved from me over the years. Ohhhh, Target.
Unfortunately, I don’t think this Target has done any upgrading since then. So, while other Targets have been growing and modernizing, this one is still small and sort of… stale. I generally don’t want to go to this location anymore. However, they still have all the usual Target offerings, which is what matters, right? And I will always hold this location dear in my heart…

The setup is a little weird here, and there’s only one entrance, like at the front corner. I don’t know, it’s just a bit odd. Also, I’m used to my Super-​Target, so this one seemed a bit small to me.
Overall, I guess I can’t really complain — they had everything I needed (Toilet Paper, Paper Towels, Qtips, etc…). But there’s just something «off» about this location.
I’d still come here again if I were in the neighborhood and needed something, as opposed to say, Wal-​Mart (yuck).

Most of the cashiers have a terrible attitude! At least pretend to be a nice person– you are getting paid and no one is making you to work there! Ugh.

ok so everyone chill and consider this: target has good prices on many things, has interesting items, and their clearance aisles are dope. We all can agree on this so there is no point in me describing that. Here is what I noticed about this particulat location:
They recently remodeled into a «Super Target» which contains a marketplace. I was excited at first but then I realized they DONT SELL BOOZE AT ALL. So that really sucks. Arlington Heights, if you’re out there– chill with your liquor laws. They are condescending. Like wow, I can’t buy a mini shooter of Fireball Whisky? And I can’t chill a beer at the Binny’s cooling pool? Get the hell out of here.
Anyway, I love this target for everything it was before the remodeling. I especially like the section where the candles and CDs are. You can press a button and try out some relaxing /​cultural music. Personally, I like the ones that say «ocean» or «spa». They’re only $ 10, and I buy them once in awhile for the girl in my life. I give her a lotion massage with their Up&Up brand aloe lotion while she listens to that spa shit. She called me a true gentleman, but really I am just a target customer.
SELL WINE AT THIS LOCATION and you can make me the ultimate gentleman. I love the prices, the staff, but please just sell booze. Thanks for your time — Ash Devonte
PS, My girl says she loves your candle selection

Guest Services FAIL!
It seems like every time I stop at this target, there is something that makes me regret stopping here. I’m fed up with this location and can’t begin to understand how something happens every time without fail.
Tonight I was checking out and requested $ 20.00 cash back. I wanted small bills but the cashier did not have enough in her drawer to accommodate my request. The cashier even mentioned that they had already called for more change to their drawer, but had not received it yet. I didn’t want to hold the line, so I took the $ 20.00 bill I was offered and headed towards guilt… I mean guest services.
After waiting a couple of minutes for the person to acknowledge my presence, I explained what just happened and very politely asked if they could change my $ 20.00 bill. My request was met with a disdainful look and I was told «We should not do this.» I expressed my need for the smaller bills again and asked why I couldn’t get my change. The clerk said «wait.» very impatiently and called over their radio to confirm if they could in fact change my $ 20.00 bill. The clerk was given the green light without hesitation by the person on the other end of the radio to make change. I was then asked quite rudely how I wanted my change. I received my smaller bills and thanked the clerk who again made no effort to show me any courtesy. I was made to feel like I had inconvenienced someone for asking them to do something that is a part of their job. I was met with hostility form the start of this customer service interaction and it was the last straw. If I could rate this location no stars, I would do so without hesitation. I will re post this to Google and Yahoo reviews in hopes to keep anyone else from having a negative experience.

I had a negative experience returning something here. I bought an item that didn’t work. When I tried to return it, an older lady who was working at returns wouldn’t let me. She said it would be a financial burden on Target to make a return. Aren’t returns something all stores account for?
I didn’t think her policy was fair so I went to another Target and they returned it with no problem at all. I’ll make sure I don’t go to this Target from now on because they have a bad return policy. Also, I’m a lot more wary of going to any Target now because of this experience.

I am not crazy about Target but they do carry some of the items I need. My rating is based on customer service and registries.
I recently purchased an item from a wedding registry for my daughter. Today, a duplicate of the item came for my daughter in the mail.
When I bought the item I handed the printout of the registry to the cashier and made sure to ask her to remove it as a needed item. She assured me it would be removed.
Because my credit card has been compromised, and I do not save receipts because of their use of credit cards for returns, I cannot return the item or get store credit. I discussed this with customer service and they assured me there was nothing they could do except maybe; just maybe but not likely, I could have my daughter take the item in to Target and they would do something; however, she said 9 times out of 10 nothing will be done.
If the other purchaser did not save their receipt, my daughter will have two identical items and Target would do nothing to help with the matter. They also refuse to use the packing slip to return it even though the box is from Target and the packing slip is from Target. I surely didn’t think about the credit card being an issue when I got my new one since this happens fairly frequently with BOA.
This is the second time I have had issues such as this one at Target. I would just try to avoid using Target for wedding registration in the future since they seem unable to keep their records straight and will not help if they are in error.

Be nice to the Target lady. They put up with thousands of… well just be nice. =)

I agree with Candice G. I had occasion to visit this Target only due to being in the neighborhood and found it not as pleasant an experience than my standby in Rosemont by the Horizon (yes, I am old and I still call it the HORIZON!)
No Starbucks, disorganized, unkempt. (why would the layout be in such contrast with the other stores?)
The sole positive I can say is that the return booth person was speedy, efficient and very friendly. Suppose I should have made note of her name to give her props.

I find myself at this Tarjay oh-​so-​often. And really, it’s due to its proximity to mi casa. And yes, even though it’s not my fave Target, I still have a helluva time leaving without spending at least $ 50. You know, you roll in expecting to pick up dish soap and ice cream and leave with a cart full of random… and you wallet quite a bit lighter. But that’s neither here nor there.
As others have mentioned, the setup isn’t the most user friendly. I find myself often searching for something that I *know for certain* I’ve found at other Target locations and cannot locate here. If you can find an employee, it’s great — they’re helpful and friendly. However, perhaps because of the strange setup — at least in my head — I have a hard time running down an employee to give me a hand.
I’ll definitely continue to patron this Target because it has 89% of what I need and hey, it’s Target. I can’t help myself.

Sure, the sign says ‘Target’, but the inside looks like a K-​Mart and that’s being kind. In reality it’s more of a Venture/​Phar-​Mor hybrid, but I don’t know how many people remember those bad boys.
First off, how did I not know this Target existed? I only go to Target
.
Second, why is this Target so busted compared to the others? The set-​up is (and I’m trying to be as constructive as I can here) ugly and dumb. The merch is last season’s biznast and it’s not even on sale. They’ve got full price stuff here that I bought on maximum clearance at other nearby Targets two months ago and the ladies underwear and sock section backs up to electronics so while you peruse for nominally priced dainty things you get to listen to some jackass blast the surround sound on HD 3-​D TVs. F*ck.That.Noise. Okay, not entirely– I did buy some long socks. But other than that, this is the one Target on the Planet that I’m not foaming at the mouth to go back to.

Good store helpful people

Target (for some pronounced tar-​jay) is a sink hole of spending for me. It must be the lighting and my love of the color red that makes me want to purchase everything. I am a sucker for good marketing and they do it right.
This time I went in for a humidifier because I am old enough to know that I need a humidifier now and I found an amazing one for $ 13 in their clearance row. I also found a wood holder for our fire place, doggie treats, breath mints you can’t find anywhere else, soap and a million other little things that made their way into my cart. I don’t walk out before spending $ 100, which is not a goal as much as a mandate.
The only downside to this Target is that there is no Starbucks inside because what I really need is more caffeine for these excursions… ;)

Pretty good Target location. It has most things you’re looking for and the food is relatively fresh, although it could use improvement on some items. The only complaint I really have about this location is I dislike how the parking lot is laid out, but it’s hard to avoid given the streets it’s located between. Good for a wide variety of nicer products though.

This location never seems to have stock of what I need and/​or doesn’t have what I’m looking for. I constantly leave there empty handed and a waste of time.
In general I think their prices have gotten out of control. Way too high it’s like we all forgot it’s target and not macy’s

Hallelujah, my local Target is moving towards the future and become a little less hood rat, hood rat, hoochie mama.
A greater grocery selection is coming in April and for the first time I saw sales associates actually walk people to what they were looking for as apposed to saying, «eh, it’s over against the wall.» Phew.
The store is currently in hellish disarray but I trust that the short term pain will yield a better experience at the local Target. Awesome.

I’m so used to Targets with floor set ups that don’t make sense that this was a welcome surprise. It reminds me more of the traditional style that is at just about every Target in MN. I almost got lost because I’ve become accustomed to the IL setup.
Employees were hard to find, but I picked up the red phone and got someone helpful in the light bulb area. They got me in and out in no time. Even the checkout went smoothly.
