Target

When traveling to Philly, this is the Target I always hit up for a few last minute essentials. I’m surprised by some of the bad reviews. I was going to say that I like the consistency –whether in Chicago or Philly, Target is Target. I have never had an issue finding something I need. I actually discovered some new protein bars I bought here for snacks while traveling (Oatmega energy bars).I have shopped here at least three times and my experiences were always pleasant. Admittedly, it is usually a weeknight and it has never been crowded. I have never been over a weekend.

No Apple Pay. Seriously. The store is generally ok. However they are woefully behind the tech curve. Ridiculously inconvenient for a store of this size. Not sure how they plan to compete.

After having 2 horrible experiences in this Target, I read all of the reviews on here. At first I thought I was the only person who had a horrible experience here but more than half the reviews talk about their horrible experience here as well.
I am visiting Philly for a few days (from WA state) and this Target was right by my hotel. I needed to purchase some sweaters as the weather was a bit chilly. I found 3 sweaters and proceeded to the fitting rooms. The attendant was sitting down looking at her phone and never bothered to look up. I stood directly in front of her for about 30 – 40 seconds and she never looked up. I finally spoke up and asked her if I could try on the 3 sweaters. She looked at me like I was bothering her, handed me a tag with the number 3 on it and NEVER said one word to me, nor did she smile. I tried on my 3 sweaters, decided to keep 2 of them and I told the attendant that I was keeping 2 sweaters. She held out her hand and took the other sweater from me, never saying a word!
I then proceeded to the check out line and the cashier was also very rude. Never said thank you and never bothered to ask me if I had found everything OK.
I had been in the night before and had used a small hand basket for my items. I set the basket on the conveyor belt and was rudely told by the cashier to remove my items and she pointed to where she wanted me to put the basket.
I did not bother to complain to a store manager as I felt the manager would have the same attitude as the cashier and the dressing room attendant, however on my receipt was a survey so I completed the online survey. Hopefully Targets corporate bigwigs will read the complaint I submitted on the survey and take action.
I’ll be glad to go back to WA state and back to the OUTSTANDING customer service I get from my local Target.

Store is clean and let’s face it I prefer target over Walmart stores any day but when I have time I would rather make the trek out to the King of Prussia Target than shop here. I’ve encountered more rude, condescending and generally unhelpful staff in this store. They simply behave like they would rather be some where else than work. They act like you are bothering them when they are just standing there doing nothing, when you ask them a question or ask for help. The management really needs to re-​evaluate their hiring process and hire those who are willing to work and are grateful they have a job instead of hiring those who have the entitled attitude.

RUDE.
I got a very rude response from one of the attendants yesterday. I went in to buy my girlfriend’s favorite chocolates: Lindt. I always bought them for her at my regular supermarket but I had to get some more stuff so I went to Target.
MISTAKE.
I asked one of the attendants for the candy section. He rudely pointed towards it and gave me a nasty look. I then asked him if he knew if they carried Lindt chocolate, he made a face and then rudely said «look, I don’t even work in that section, I don’t know, go check if they have them».
He was tall, slim and had a dark scraggly beard. If you see him stay away. Terrible experience at one of my favorite stores.

We could say its just a target and give it 3 stars and move on. However, considering the brand, I have to say its a little less than I’ve come to expect. Parking, while plentiful, is somehow always a pain… ok, maybe I’ll blame that on myself and fellow customers. What I can’t blame on us customers is the typical long waits at the cash registers, the less then typical selection, or the general feeling you just aren’t welcome…

I come here occasionally because the location is convenient, however, the customer service is AWFUL — especially on the weekends! Most of the cashiers are rude and unprofessional. There are no express lines, so you can easily wait 30 minutes to check out 2 items. They have a few self-​check machines, however, the staff do not enforce an item limit. People with 50+ items will stand at the machines forever.
My suggestion to management: Reinforce GOOD customer service with all your employees, and set-​up an express line. Also, if a cashier is not taking any more customers, they need to put up a sign saying CLOSED rather than rudely telling people «I’m not open!»

I usually love Target, but this one is the worst I have ever been to. I have had bad experiences here multiple times, and each time I said never again. But, I kept coming back because of its convenient location (right off city ave). This place literally makes me miserable. The parking lot is a pain. This store is always mobbed. Items are misplaced or out of stock. All of the employees I have encountered here are terrible. It’s near impossible to find someone to help you. I’ve worked retail in the past, I understand it can be exhausting. But, the employees here are unhelpful and have attitude problems. Also, management seems to never have enough people staffed. There is always a long line to check out, and the most recent time I was here the self check outs were all closed for some reason. Do yourself a favor and AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Seriously, if you really need to go to a Target, make the drive over to the Springfield or Plymouth Meeting locations.

Its a Target… What more would you want.
Stocked shelves, grocery department, fresh underwear, and sporting goods. Yay.
For Vegans they have a good deal of protein alternatives in their frozen section. Best hours are before 5 pm on all days.
The parking lot is murder with only 2 entrances and exits, take care in driving.
Also, this is one of the smallest targets that I’ve been in.
Customer service can be hit or miss.
Starbucks on location.

This Target is the worst one I’ve ever been to. The parking lot is a disaster and so dark you can barely see people walking by. The staff have no clue where anything is and the store is always a mess. One time an employee kept walking away when we tried to ask her where a particular item was. The lines are always too long. I enjoy going to Target… Just not this one.

This Target is in a congested location off City Avenue. Essential items are there when needed. Shopping carts seen dumped onto Presidential Boulevard. Clean it up!

I love target, love love love it. I just had THE WORST experience. It took me 45 minutes to get a Store Pick Up order and 8 pictures. Both of which I had been notified were ready before I got there.
AWFUL, can’t even express how disappointed I was with my experience today. In addition to the EXTENDED time it took (and it wasn’t even waiting in line) they told me the wrong price for the pictures, and when I showed her the email that said how much I’d be paying, she seemed offended that I was showing her that. Sorry, but I’m not about to pay even a cent more for some pictures that took me 45 minutes to pick up.

been here 50 – 100 times. Mondays are a great time to shop at store after work, it’s calmer. They were stocking, but, that is okay, I was still able to shop and find my items. Ithink this location is relatively well stocked and clean. I like the Starbucks within the target as I was thirsty afterwards and got an Iced Americano. It’s nice to use Target card and still get 5% off purchases. I think the household items are a good deal. Grocery items prices haven risen since my last visit a couple months ago. Still think it’s a reliable choice and you can find most anything you need.

Not the first time here, maybe the third, Lol. I love it here! Found almost everything I needed today. I was not too found of the Target in South Philly. But you can’t really compare as inventory always changes. I like that they have white bed sheets that I like here as well with the count I prefer. Now I know where to come since it is fully stocked, at least for now. It is always a hit or miss. Today was a good day, that’s all. Im glad Target came to the east coast.

This Target is Horrid! First off, the parking lot is like a maze to get into, and when you do, there are people running around like the people who are driving cars do not need to park.
Next, the inside. There are cops. Need I say more? It is your basic regular Target with a grocery section. The shelves are a hot mess… so are the patrons. You can tell that the employees do not want to be there, and oh-​so crowded.
Since this location opened, I have only gone in extreme emergencies. I mean, come on, you can only take so much ratchetness before your head explodes. Plus, they are usually out of what I need anyway. Go to Plymouth Meeting.

This place is a disaster… I don’t know if they’re severely understaffed, the patrons are animals, or I’m in a 3^rd-​world country where banshees run havoc through the place, but it’s a certifiable mess. Drive a few miles farther out and avoid the mess. This is the worst Target I’ve ever seen.

They need to stock their shelves faster and more during overnight. Doesn’t look good to have empty shelves on a Monday morning.
Usually target is good about having their shelves stocked but I guess they are slacking now.
The Target Pharmacy is pretty nice and they have an auto refill option which is nice.

I have to be up front at the start of the review– I have Target Syndrome. I have trouble walking into Target and only coming out with the items on my list. I have even more trouble going in to return something and coming out empty handed.
With that being said, I don’t love this Target. Yea– I know where everything is and can call it my regular Target but its just never a good shopping experience. It is great that they have a produce section however I can never find a good bag of spring mix or spinach when I go in. Maybe I’m just going at the wrong time but they always seem to be out.
Too often it can be home to some pretty sketchy characters. I was once approached by a panhandler when walking through the home goods section. Not cool.
The proximity of the store to my office and the convenience of being able to buy almost everything I need will keep me begrudgingly going back.

I’ve come here a number of times. It is clean and well-​organized, and the staff are helpful if you need assistance finding things. One thing that is nice about this location is that their grocery offerings are slightly expanded and they sell a small selection of fresh meat, eggs, and produce. They also have a larger freezer section than some other Target stores.
Whether they will have items in stock or not can be frustratingly hit-​or-​miss although most of the time, I am able to buy what I come here for.
The store is also located in a small shopping strip so you can grab lunch or do some banking while you are there running errands. Another big draw for this Target is that it is actually accessible by public transportation – the 65 and the 44 both stop right in front.

I’m not sure which stores others have been to which create such high expectations for Target stores. It’s Target!
We get what we come for each time we visit and expect the same typical crap Philadelphia service anywhere we go in the area. Target is no exception.
If you want stuff from Target, this store is just fine. If you want a better experience try shopping either outside of Philly or don’t shop at crappy department stores.
