Target

This Target gets three stars because it’s just an average place. Most of the time you’ll find bits and pieces here and there that are banged up or in the wrong place; you’ll find clothing in the wrong places or on the wrong hangers; and sometimes you won’t find what you’re looking for at all. However, this location can’t be solely to blame because it’s the nature of big companies like Target to not be the most organized. The struggle I have is that plenty of other Targets don’t have such a scattered, chaotic, disorganized sense about them. I just wish going here was a more pleasant experience at times, but it’s convenient and it’s still Target. The staff, who are always helpful and friendly, certainly help the location earn these three stars.

I’ve been going to this Target since they opened. It is good to see that some of the employees remain from that time. I have always shopped first at Target for groceries, as they have the best prices. However, I am finding increasingly, that items are not where they are suppose to be. You look at the aisle indicators, but you can’t find any of the product that is clearly marked as being there. About ¼−1/3 of the time, there are no labels showing the prices, or things are displayed under the incorrect labeling. A shelf that generally displays discounted items has half marked, the other half of the same product, not marked. While there many customers who drop things wherever they are, that cannot be the cause of this many issues in the grocery department. I get a constant sense of «I could give a rat’s…» from some of the employees.
Several months ago I went in looking for ½ & ½. There was none on the shelves. I asked about it and was told that none had been ordered. NONE HAD BEEN ORDERED!!! Don’t these stores have an inventory system? I went in the following week and checked out the diary section — again no ½ & ½! That’s remarkable — and it turns out the person in charge of that section never ordered it. (I investigate when things go screwy at this store.)
Then there are employees who have consistently gone above and beyond, who remember the frequent shoppers, such as myself, and who are helpful, sweet, and kind. The Pharmacy staff is the best I’ve ever experienced, and I am angered and saddened that CVS *(UGH) has bought all the Target pharmacies. (You can be sure that CVS will find a way to make what was a 15 minute wait for meds into an hour experience. I’ve never gotten out of a CVS pharmacy without it being an HOUR.) For now, though, that staff continue to give sterling service.
This location warrants a «Super Target», and my suspicion is that if it was a gigantor store, the attention to detail would be different.
I’m almost tempted to put particular people’s names here because they have been so excellent. It seems to me that it’s the systems that don’t work so well, rather than the staff. If Target headquarters could address the specific issues inherent in having a store in this location, that would benefit the store and the community, as well.

Near a lot of other stores like marshals and Ross and giant grocery so it’s a good location to get all of your shopping done. It was a little dingy though; definitely not the prettiest target I’ve been in.

Bigger than average Tarjay, Starbucks, pharmacy, groceries, free WiFi. Opened 2 more registers when a line formed. I still say they need a mapping app — took me a couple of minutes to find my way back to the registers after trying on my new cargo shorts.

this is the dirtiest target i have ever seen!!! wow… i was snapping photos like this cannot be real!

This target has the worst customer service on the planet. 3 times I have ordered items to pick up in store. Not only are they NEVER ready, but last time it took them 45 minutes (after I had arrived, even though I placed the order 6 hours previous) to get the ONE item I needed. They constantly have long lines at the checkout and for some reason only open 2 or 3 registers at once. Don’t go here if you need anything quick!

This target is holding PG plaza together. For real though…

I used to like the PG Plaza Target, as it’s a bit closer to where I live; however, especially if I’m visiting on a Saturday afternoon, I MUCH prefer the Greenbelt store. even on weekends, there isn’t the mob scene like there is at PG Plaza; the employees are nicer and more helpful at the Greenbelt store and the customers haven’t thrown merchandise on the floors and trashed the place like at PG. Yes, typical big box store merchandize, but a nice place to shop.

Nice experience… the store is clean with lots of items… great prices and friendly staff!!!

This Target is one of the anchors of the mall and is on the north side facing Greenbelt Road. Getting into and out of the parking lot is a bit of a negotiation, but it is what it is.
Inside, its the usual Target setup with clothing, electronics, housewares and such. This is not a SuperTarget so there isn’t much for groceries. The place could use a bit of a refresh but what in this area doesn’t?
I was specifically looking for one thing, which it turned out that they did not have. But as it usually happens when I’m in a Target, I end up getting something else. Their selection of Washington Nationals gear was very messy and not well stocked. Lots of small and kids but very few large and certainly not even a single extra large. I got a hat and on the way out, found a bright red tshirt in the men’s department. For my visit to the Nats game, this would do okay.

The store looks shabby, like I’ve never seen a Target look this dirty and dingy before. And they only had 2 registers open with very long lines. I walked in, saw the long lines and walked right back out.

Besides the fact the front entrance always smells like a terrible mashup of pee, vomit and bleach —-this Target is allllright! I refuse to give it three stars based on the fact that it’s located outside of Beltway Plaza… so what?! P. S. boo boo, you knew that already. Don’t come here if you don’t like the location! (Which btw, despite the fact that Beltway Plaza is a booty pile of mess, this Target is nothing like that!) Yes it’s large, yes it’s well-​organized, and yes, there are never outrageous lines here!
I actually like the layout of this store better than others in the area (Laurel, Glendale, Silver Spring) and I find that items are always in stock and generally NOT junked up like other Targets. The best part yet is the after work crowd… there virtually isn’t one!!! So if you’re need of a quick purchase, this Target should do the trick! Sales are always up front as any Target, and employees are friendly and efficient.
Parking is only problematic if you’re too lazy to walk a mere 20 steps from your car to the store… its not that hard folks.

I’m ok with this Target, the location is a bit off, you’d think they’d have major storefront presence.
I had to return a shirt & the process was seamless. The associate was very friendly & processed the return quickly. I had to pick up a few items while I was there. The store itself was pretty clean & there were plenty of employee presence.
There were only a few checkouts open, which they weren’t too busy. The associate that checked me out was very nice & of course made sure I got my bag discount, used my coupon, the Cartwheel app, & my Target debit Red Card.
Plenty of parking.

I would go to this Target before any Walmart ANY day! I love Target, and even though this isn’t the nicest, it’s the closest to me! Large parking lot and they have grocery items

I don’t know if it’s because I came first thing in the morning, but this place had one of the cleanest public restrooms I’ve ever seen. Gotta appreciate that! (Not to mention, they always have a sizable selection & the associates are pretty cool).

By my check in’s you’ve probably come to realize I go to Target a lot, it’s kind of my thing. Though I go to this Target the most, it’s by my job, it’s actually the one I like the least. I hate the parking lot and the strip mall thing it’s located in. I hate the way the store is laid out, it seems off. And something about this particular Target seems ghetto and run down. But I’ll go back, because it’s cheap and close.

I do a ton of shopping here. It is nice for the most part but I do not like they way they rearranged it. The prices are ok but I have noticed a few times that some customers just leave things messy and all over the ground. Overall it is a nice store.

My wonderful sister got us a year’s worth of diaper certificates – worth up to $ 10.99 for a jumbo pack – so we usually only pay the tax (~$ 0.65). While out and about on errands in Greenbelt, I stopped into the Tarjay to pickup a pack.
Her: Hello.
Me: Hi.
Her: Did you find everything you needed today?
Me: Yup.
Her: Would you like to save 10% off your purchase today by getting a Target card?
Me: *looks at $ 0.68 total and mulls over the $ 0.06 savings* Ummm… no thanks…
I understand that they probably train the employees to do this, but seriously?
Location — No giant red balls out front and the interior is still the same as it always has been. Enormous parking lot with plenty of cart return things. Not much else to do in this Mall other than swing by Three Brothers for a bite.
Merchandise — Not a Super Target. Selection is comparable to other Tarjays.

I wasn’t sure what to expect here, but this was a very nice Target! It’s not a «Super Target», but it is very clean and well-​organized. Possibly the neatest Target I’ve been into. Of course, I’m used to the mad house that is the Alexandria Target, and I was at this one on a weekday. I experienced no cart collisions.
