Target

I’m disappointed in Starbucks associate Jessica does not know what the meaning of you get what you pay for. I bought a venti cappuccino and this woman fills it up like its a grande, I repeated to her 3 times you get what you paid for worst customer service I’ve had in a Starbucks they should hire motivated workers not lazy people that don’t know hot to do the job …

I don’t get long days to shop and I thought… «yeah! Target is a good place to go and shop for bathing suits, gym clothes, stock up on birthday cards etc…
I spent an hour and a half shopping. I’ve shopped at Target for many many years. Love it!
I proceeded to the dressing room in the middle of the women’s clothing section of the store, far away from the men’s department. There was a nice lady there attending. I see an elderly man escorting and woman, arm and arm, coming out and I figured… she needed help… whatever. I checked in to try on 2 sports bras. After getting undressed I start hearing «men’s voices» around me trying on clothes and conversing? WHAT??? The dressing rooms aren’t TO THE CEILING. Someone could definitely get up and look over the wall if they wanted to. I was terribly uncomfortable and couldn’t get out of there quick enough!!!
I asked the woman at the counter, «Why are there men in here» and she said, «Yes, dressing rooms are for men and women».
I grabbed my basket… headed for the check out, shaking. Should I buy my clothes that I’ve spent so much time picking out?
HECK NO!!! I dropped them at a counter… I looked for a manager and told «her» how I felt.
What is wrong with you Target? Seriously? Are you absolutely our of your mind STUPID? It’s called BASIC SENSE! Safety first of all and men do their thing and women do their thing. PERIOD!
YOU SCREWED UP!

Too much racial profiling. I only come to this location whenever I’am around the area and it never fails for 1 or 2 workers to follow me and my family around if we’re in here for more than 1 hour just browsing they start to stalk us. It’s mostly all the time white workers that follow us. DON’T RACIAL PROFILE ANYONE!!! It’s rude!

They really care about doing things right! I needed a prescription for my daughter and no body had this medicine. I went to 2 other pharmacies and they would not help me with it. I’m glad I ran into Tony the pharmacist because he took the time to explain why it was so difficult to fill this medicine. Then he offered to contact my doctor to see if the medication can be changed to something similar that was available. It took like 30mins to get into contact with the hospital staff but he was able to change it. Then got it ready for me as fast as he could and I was able to take care of my daughter because of him. I’m very appreciative of the care that they gave. I know pharmacies can take a while getting medications together but it’s reassuring to know you have a pharmacy that’s willing to take the time to help you fix your problems. Way to go Tony ! Danny!

Thirty minutes and an ulcer later, I was finally able to return a $ 7 t-​shirt that I bought for my nephew… It would seem as though Kenia (the customer service employee) has stock in Target, or her father owns the company. She gave me hell… Apparently, one of her co-​workers rang the same shirt twice during my original purchase. I must have already returned one of the shirts… So, the receipt was reading that I had already returned [this] particular shirt. Clearly, I had not returned [this] shirt, for it is sitting on the counter in front of you, Kenia – tags, stickers, and all. Kenia was «on one» tonight. She berated the couple in front of me – informing the woman that she could no longer use her ID for returns for the rest of the year. Dang… the year??? Kenia advised her to use the ID of «someone else,» in the future. To add insult to injury, the crib that this woman was returning had been recalled by the manufacturer. Therefore, [this] transaction/​return should not even go towards this woman’s «return record.» Anyway, THIS wasn’t the first time a customer service employee at this Target has been rude to customers. The customer service employees at this Target are notorious for this kind of rude and unprofessional behavior. They are nice – great customer service, when you are spending your money. It’s a whole other story when you need to return something…

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
The Armenian woman working the Guest Services (Returns) was super rude and interrogated us for every item we returned, pointlessly.
Avoid this store at all costs!!!
RUDE employees, disorganized merchandise, boxes everywhere, slow… SLOW checkout lanes, congested parking spots… RUN!

Very rude Angie and Stephanie.

Sheryl the cashier working around 8 pm on ⁴⁄₂₇. She is amazing. Full of energy and positive personality! It’s evident she enjoys her job and frankly she put me in a better mood after having crappy day! Thanks Sheryl! Stay amazing :)

I really like this Target. Yes the parking sucks but other than that the staff is always helpful and they have a large selection of clothes which is what I mainly come here for.

For the first time ever in my 21 years of life. I finally received good customer service by a cashier at this location. He held a conversation as he was scanning and bagging the items. I know well all just want to shop and get out but usually when visiting targets cashiers just scan and bag and hand the receipt no conversation no greeting no thank you. Thumps up for this cashier.

The pharmacist is amazing here I broke a tooth while on vacation I went to the dentist at 5 o’clock and didn’t get here til almost close and he took great care of me when I decide to move back here I will be taking all of my prescriptions here

Ugh this place is sooo messy. There are boxes in every aisle and theyre understocked on a lot of stuff. Their store is also huge but you never can seem to find someone to help you. I almost my shit because It took them a while to do my returns around 11:40pm, and by the time I grabbed a bunch of stuff I needed it was 12:00am their closing time. I heard the lady on the microphone saying lanes were closing so my friend and I run to the register and they have the audacity and bad attitude to REFUSE to scan 4 items so we can leave, she told us to just come back tomorrow as it was supposedly impossible to scan my stuff cause the registers were closed. My friend was so pissed she ended up just asking all the ongoing other workers if they could help us, we were lucky enough to have bumped into the manager who yelled at those 2 rude and lazy workers because they are required to leave a register open every night when they do inventory updates so they rung us out with a fake smile while the manager hawkeyes them.
Very unprofessional and uncomfortable to go through that and they could have lost a loyal customer because of the bad work ethics
Really bad attitudes in the staff but I am glad at least management cares.

This target is nice as they have a huge selection on items than your average target and the customer service is kinda better than the north Hollywood one…
I came here looking for an item and it took forever to find someone who knew what it was and never actually was able to find it.
Disappointed but it’s okay. I still love this target and it’s amazing prices on items. Not to mention my everyday 5% off!

Me: Hi, can you point me in the direction for children’s raincoats?”
Target girl#1: «Sure. Head over to the kids section and they should be in the section closest to the aisle»
Me: «Thank you very much. Happy New Year»
Walked to the kids section and proceeded to look around but found nothing, so I figured they may have them tucked away somewhere else. Found another Target employee and this was our convo:
Me: «Hi there does this store carry raincoats for kids?»
Her: «Yes» (no eye contact)
Me: «Nice. Can you point me to them please»
Her: «Ughh…We’re sold out, can’t you see it’s raining out there?» (Still no eye contact)
If she would’ve said Sorry we’re sold out that wouldve been good for me, but the added shit pissed me off so I told her the following:
«Sorry to have bothered you by asking something that pertains to your job have a great day and a Happy New Year» to which she replied «I’m sorry i’m just having a bad day and it shouldn’t affect my job. I’m really sorry. We’re sold out but we should be getting more in next week»
Because of that I’ll be back. She started off as a grumpy bitch, but ended as a polite helpful lady. Thanks.

I really hate this Target. Located in the EMPIRE CENTER, this big box store is nothing but headaches. And wait till Wal-​Mart arrives. Lawd help y’all when that happens.
Getting into the parking lot is a huge hassle! Parking, although ample is usually not gonna find you a close spot. Once you get into the store things calm down a little. This is a giant super store inclusive of food.
I’m not a fan of the clothing departments and it really bothers me that they don’t make enough room for carts! I’m always knocking things off shelves and racks on accident.
The store itself is clean and fairly well laid out from a shopping stand point. I’m a back end cap peruser kinda gal, always searching for all the clearance items. But this store doesn’t seem to have nearly as many clearance items as the North Hollywood store. (I guess that’s a good sign of management not over ordering, But bad for us frugal deal shoppers).
They offer a 5% cash back on use of their store Visa. I opt to pay cash and not get suckered into late fees and interest. But those who are good at paying the full amount every month… bonus!
The staff is friendly, But it never seems like they have enough stands open. But when they are not busy, the staff will wait at the front of the counter and wave you in to an open line. And that is always appreciated.
Generally if I am at this Target, it’s because I plan on visiting one or more of the other stores in this large commercial property. If it’s just a Target run, I’m heading to the North Hollywood store.

Target used to be THE place to go to get cheap crap, ASAP. However, it’s not just crap, minus the cheap part. I mean, yes, there are still some things that are fairly priced, but it’s no longer what it used to be even 10 years ago. I honestly don’t go to Target that much anymore, as the prices are equal to many other stores, and Target is just SO DANG HUGE, it’s kind of too much for a simple grocery run.
It’s kind of a «fun» store, because they have everything, and sometimes prices are good on certain things (like $ 5 shoes on clearance), but overall, their quality is sub-​par. It’s like Ross without Ross prices. No thanks. At least there’s plenty of parking.

I really want a Wallmart to open a store next to Target! I’m sure the added competition would force Target to keep their shelves stocked better.
I have been to Target at least 6 times in the past several months and they have always seemed to have problems keeping the large bottle of Simply Lemonade 2.63L (2.7qt)89oz stocked. I have also had problems finding Snapple Lemon Iced Tea 64oz on the shelves. Now it seems they have eliminated that flavor!
Service-​Marginal. Shopping carts need to be cleaned. There always seems to be trash left in the carts. I don’t look forward seeing used tissues, napkins, plastic bags, newspaper, and other detritus. Long waits in the checkout stands have become a normal occurrence.
Parking-​Very crowded. Even with the huge parking lot. Parking can be a challenge.

It’s pretty hard to not be a fan of Target. Even the smallest sized branches offers everything you would need in a store, but this branch in particular is pretty nice sized.
It’s fairly clean, and if there is staff around, they are very helpful at least from my experience. I literally could decorate my apartment, buy groceries and office supplies all in one stop. On top of it all, they always have sales, and returns and exchanges have proven to be easy with this branch. Overall a a good shopping experience!

2015 Unilocal 100 CHALLENGE — ⁰⁴¹⁄₁₀₀
Nice, new-​ish Target in Burbank!
PROS:
+ Very big and spacious
+ Lots of parking
+ THEY STILL HAVE PLASTIC BAGS (rare in LA area!)
+ In a giant shopping center with a ton of other stores
+ New-​ish compared to the next closest Target (North Hollywood at Vineland/​Victory)
+ TONS of cash registers
CONS:
— Layout is different than other Targets I’ve been to
— Left side of the store is significantly more busy because they put all of the most visited departments on that side (toiletries/​medicine/​cosmetics/​food/​house and cleaning supplies); super annoying navigating through
— Because the plaza is very big/​busy parking can be hard to find

I love this Target! The location in the Empire Center is great because there’s tons of parking! The store itself is humongous and the aisles are very wide. I’ve been in here a lot and have noticed that the store is always clean and so is the restroom.
Target basically has everything I need to survive, lol! In addition to having a lot of clothes, food, and other household items that I frequently get it, they also have a good collection of action figures! I’m a bit of a collector so I’m always frequenting this aisle when I come in.
Also, the Pizza Hut located at the front of the store has great tasting pizza! I’ve eaten pizza from other Pizza Hut locations and this is seriously the best pizza hut pizza I have ever eaten! I have become a bit addicted to the pizza here. Thanks for cooking it up well, employees! You’ve got a regular customer out of me!
