Target

This is one of my favorite targets. They’ve recently remodeled much of the store, and it’s pretty classy looking. It’s got a more open floor plan in the home décor section, which is a nice change from the isle after isle typical set up. One complaint? The bathrooms. Still kinda grody, even though they’ve been redoing the main store floor. Hopefully the bathrooms are next on the remodel list.

Pharmacy team is top notch!
all 3 techs working today & the Pharmacist = very helpful and knowledgeable.
…meanwhile in red-​shirt pre-​cash-​register-​ville…
the Target red-​shirt team/​employees were annoying all huddled around the Mother’s Day card section in one huge tight circle blocking the major walkway of the store… and all getting loud and ready for their «Donut eating contest» on April Fools day while one chick ran around the store collecting more red-​shirt people. …again.meanwhile…the badass Pharm team was in their section being what??? yep that’s right! .badasses. **drops mic**
side note:
2 weeks ago, Nick (an actual helpful red shirt guy) .helped me and my peeps out with patio furniture. I’d like to make sure he gets a high five for being a badass red shirt employee. soooo if you’re Nicks boss and you’re not mad at me for calling y’all out for your donut shenanigans could you please High five Nick for me? K.thanks. bye. ;)
(See B&W picture I posted with him.)

***ELECTRONICS REVIEW ONLY***
My husband was out looking for a 70in that was on sale for $ 1038.00. He was at the location in Hillside. The manager called here and was advised they had only the floor model & would take off 30% if we wanted it. Well when I arrived to pay for it & went to electronics the kid working back there was very discouraging with his selling me this tv. Stating oh its no remote, it’s no box, it’s been playing for a yr continuously. I’m like look kid it’s my tv & I want it now! Then they say well if it’s purchased now it has 2 be taken we can’t hold it 2 give you time 2 go home & get your truck. WHAT A CROCK!!! So I leave, go get hubby & our truck & we head back. We’re attempting to purchase when the manager Megan asks who authorized 30% it was insane they only do 10−15% blah blah blah but she was advised that a manager ok’d the sale and she continued w/​the authorization. 2 stars for the $ 700 price of a 70in!!! SCORED ON THEM ANYWAY
NOT VERY COOL PEOPLE! NOT COOL AT ALL.

This is my go to store for everything. It’s around the corner. I probably frequent this place 3x a week. I wish it was a SuperTarget. Anyway, I have to say I’m upset with their customer service. I was charged twice yesterday of a transaction of 102.44. The transactions weren’t pending they were processed. When I called the store, They just said, ‘my manager said call your bank’. They didn’t even look into the situation or ask for my transaction number. So disappointed. I called my bank, they asked if I called the store. I said yes. He said they should have liked into it. But he could file a claim. It would take 90 days to be resolved. 90 days, why couldn’t the store just the care of it. I guess what bothers me the most. Is that Target was breached some time ago, thousands of dollars were used out of my account. How lazy can the manager be to not get on the phone. Or ask to come in store to resolve situation. Customer Service sucks!

This store has horrible employees Meagan and Adian… First off I’m calling all over looking for a t.v. the guy I talked to was great he told me that the t.v. I was looking for they only had the display available so I would get 30% off so I say cool I’ll be there can you hold it for me he said they don’t hold things for customers… I get there he’s gone and I have to deal with these two fucktards they were very discouraging and not happy to assist us saying things like the TV has been on for a year we don’t have the remote or a box for it no instruction manual or anything so I’m like IDC I want the t.v. they didn’t want to give it to us at the discounted price that the guy on the phone told me who was told by a manager 30% Meagan said I’ll give u ten percent off and another 5% for the remote they didn’t have complaining saying 30% is insane I’m thinking in my head its not your store or your money what’s your issue lady I told her I called twice and they told me 30% off and this is what a manager said she went on to say the guy I spoke with is not a target employee and I said why is he answering the phone then furthermore they donate these TVs to schools and churches why is she giving me so much shit over this 30% off the TV has a couple of scratches on it and one of em happens to be on the screen so after all that bs and more her and her minion gave me I buy the TV for $ 788.00 its 70inch so I figured you can’t beat that even with these peoples nasty attitudes. After that this guy offers a protection plan but doesn’t know anything about it he doesn’t know how much the deductible is or anything and didn’t attempt to find out very crappy workers then they take the TV off the wall and I had to help these jerk offs they place the TV on the carpet take off the brackets that hold it on the wall and told me I’m all set… I told him no I’m not u need to place this TV on a cart and wheel it to the front door… did he think I was gonna carry it on my back wth wrong with these people me personally I believe they were racist white trash good whites don’t behave that way and I’m sure they don’t treat their white customers that way according to all the good reviews I love good service and people who know their job I wanted to smack Meagan and her little flunky these idiots even went in the back room and had a conversation about it never seen anything like this I’ll never return to this target IDC if I was on fire and they had water I ain’t going

This target is so slow… and they are lazy to help their customer out… so not satisfied

Clean store. Friendly staff. Convenient location if staying at one of several hotels in area and need to pick up items. Easy to access. Lots of options in food section for healthy snacks, and meals.

Clean and everything is always in stock. The parking lot can get a little crowded at times, but it’s manageable. I wish the Pizza Hut inside was something healthier.

Worst Target I’ve ever been to. Shelf prices are wrong on a majority of things. Staff is totally incompetent. Shelves are usually empty of any item on sale. And the guy in the parking lot collecting carts is rude and dangerous.

Aw. I’m sorry, little Target store, but I am going to have to take a few stars away from you. I’m not sure what is going on with this location lately, but for the past few months their grocery section is super, duper understocked and they are always out of what I need. I tend to do a lot of my grocery shopping at Target stores and this one is right on my way home, which is great. But what isn’t so great is having to then go up to the Villa Park location immediately after I stop here, because they’re missing everything I went there for in the first place. And finding all of the items I want stocked in plentiful quantities at VP. So… not sure why they aren’t getting them down at Yorktown, but if you’re grocery shopping you may just want to head to Villa Park for awhile.

Very nice store, clean and kept as I expected! Never wear red when shopping at Target as folks will ask you where things are! Lol

I’m going to give away my secret. I often come here on Saturday mornings around 8 a.m. Why? Because nobody else does.
Normally this place is packed and there are lines of people waiting to check out, but at my secret morning shopping period the shelves are neat and clean, the aisles are empty and the cashiers are just waiting for me to make my purchases.
Overall, this pretty up there with my favorite Targets. The selection is a bit more sparse than some of the less busy stores, but I blame that on its prime location and heavy traffic not on the store itself. The staff is always helpful and friendly and that makes for a good start to my weekend plans.

This target is in a great location near the yorktown mall. I frequently shop here due to the outstanding location and convenience but more importantly the employees are always willing to go the extra mile and help out. They do price math which is a plus and the store is open pretty late.

I think I always look lost in stores, as if I’ve never shopped before. I always feel like when I go to this Target location, it’s WAY more awesome than my local Target, and find it necessary to buy something to drag it back home with me to California. I swear it’s the way they set up the store, since the exact same items are in all the Target locations. Now that’s what I call merchandising!
Or is it the way the store is configured? Again, you would think I never left home by the way I react to this place!
Friendly staff, great parking, and subliminal merchandising techniques to make you «want» everything you see.
Major bonus points for having a clothing section dedicated to all the local pro teams, AND priced well. We don’t have a section like that in my hood!
One last thing, I am a horrible human being. You see, here in California we have these laws that have been enacted for a few years now, that we no longer have plastic bags given to us. We bring our own recycling bags wherever we go. But if you forget, no worries, you may just purchase a bag for 10 cents. BUT — the bags are now paper, since California is anti-​plastic. (Now before you think we are just a bunch of hippies, just know that places in Europe have been charging for bags for twenty-​some odd years). Well — I MISS those plastic Target bags SO much, I begged the cashier to give me, well … a whole bunch of them! I’m rolling around on the floor right now on my Target plastic bags like it’s money, hoping I won’t suffocate on them.
Covet those plastic bags people of Chicagoland! They might be gone before you know it! Until then I will hoard them each time I visit, since plastic Target bags are the best!

I LOVE this Target mostly because it has 3 – 4 times the amount of clearance my local Target has. This store has massive amounts of stuff on sale that was either sold out at my store or we never even had in stock. I saw a lot of the Altuzarra designer collab there too, although the 30% clearance prices were still out of my price range.
The main problem is this place is a disaster – almost like a tornado ran through it knocking over every piece of clothing and shoe in its path. It’s not the store’s fault because I heard a manager or lead tell all of the employees near the dressing room to go clean up the shoe area. I had earlier gone to shoes only to be frustrated that a bunch of people had deserted a bunch of shoe boxes in the middle of the aisle. People were having issues getting around it with their carts. I just decided not to even deal with shoes and moved on to clothes.
I come to this Target quite often and everyone that’s ever rang me up has been nice. I do find it tough to find things though since this store is so big, but that’s a learning curve I’m willing to deal with.

No matter when I visit this Target it’s massively busy. I was in the area headed to Oakbrook, though, so this was the most convenient one.
I needed to get a price adjustment on some items. 10 to be exact. Since Target doesn’t release their circular early, I had no idea when I bought things on Saturday that they’d be on sale the next day. Frustrating. But the sales associate at guest services was fast and friendly. She didn’t make me physically return and buy back each item. Instead she just used the receipt. Thank goodness. I ended up getting $ 12 back. Nice.
They loose a star because they don’t sell beer here, which most Targets do. I happened to have a 20% off a 6 pack Cartwheel coupon
But they still get props because they carry NYX Butter Gloss. This gloss is moisturizing, smooth, and has amazing color payoff. Best lip gloss for the money for sure.

This probably isn’t fair: but I primarily rate this Target based on the fact that it is the best entrance into the Yorktown Shopping Center. Seeing a movie at AMC? Sneak out through the Target parking lot at the end to avoid the backup along the main road. Entering the Yorktown mall or going to dinner at DMK? Sneak in through Target and get at that mall through the JCPenny entrance.
Honestly, Butterfield is a nightmare many times, especially because it is always seemingly under contraction. Being able to sneak in through Target makes shopping excursions more bearable.
As a result I end up at Target a lot because it happens to be on the way to all of the above for me. Going to a movie? Buy some movie candy at Target. Unexpectedly sunny? Buy some cheap sunglasses to get you through the rest of the day. Wardrobe malfunction? Target can help in a pinch. All of these things have happened for me and Target has helped with all of them. It’s kind of a fix all for last minute needs, gifts, what have you. As far as locations go, this is my favorite, too.

Target has a nifty new feature on its site. It’s something that I’ve seen at competing stores (coughWalmartcough) before but seems to be new to the Bullseye — ship to store!
Or more accurately, pick up at store. Unlike the big Blue W, Target’s variety seems to be more like «tell us what you want to buy and we’ll get it off the shelves/​from the back for you».
Here’s how it works — peruse the Target website and look for items that say «eligible for store pickup». Put those things in your virtual cart. Check out and put in your e-​mail. You’ll get an e-​mail when your stuff is ready to be picked up; you have 48 hours to go get it. Just go to the service desk, show ID, and you’re all set.
The main downside I found is that you can’t always specify color on things. On our recent try-​out of this we selected a dog bed, collar, leash, and bowls. While we chose the «blue/​green» collar and leash, we ended up with red ones. Not a huge deal, but worth noting. It was super-​easy to exchange them.
You also can’t use this on grocery items, which is too bad; that would save me a lot of time. But since this whole thing seems to still be in the testing phase, I can only hope they will expand it as time goes on.

This Target and I are not on good terms. I wish I could break up with it, but the prices on non perishable items and laundry detergent are much better than say, Jewel. So, I return. And every time, I’m disappointed.
Sure, as written in previous reviews, waiting in lines sucks. There’s usually 4 — 6 lines open and at least 5 people in each line.
This time, I was smart though. They had a sale on laundry detergent. Buy 2 Gain, Downy or Tide detergent, get a free $ 5 gift card.
Now, I’ve had issues before with their sales. They had a «buy a package of kraft cheese and oscar meyer ham and get a free lunchbox». And when I tried getting the free lunch box, the cashier told me I would either have to pay for it or not get it because I wasn’t getting it for free (because he didn’t know how to do it). So I didn’t get it.
But this time. This time. I took a picture of the card that said the sale on it so when I was one of 3 people waiting (in 3 different lines) for the manager to help the somewhat incompetent cashier, I had proof that it was on sale and that I could get the $ 5 gift card.
Long story short, I did not get the gift card. Even the manager didn’t know about the sale nor could get it to work. Though I did get $ 5 off as a «coupon» so it worked out anyway.
So, be prepared. You will run into problems.

This Target will be henceforth known as the «Apocalypse Target.»
I arrived in the area early prior to a Unilocal event, and I needed to pick up a make-​up bag for travelling anyway. As I arrived in the Yorktown area, I pulled up my Unilocal app and was so thrilled to see that Target is located in the mall loop! What an awesome location!
When I got here, the whole parking lot was dark. Target? Closed? At 7:30 p.m. on a weekday? It can’t be. There were a lot of cars in the parking lot. One side of the entrance was totally blacked out. The TARGET sign was blacked out. Many of the lightposts in the parking lot were, you guessed it, blacked out! There wasn’t a storm in the area, so maybe some maintenance guys are slacking, I don’t know.
This Target seemed kind of… dirty. Perhaps it was the dim, K-​Mart style lighting. I didn’t browse much here aside from the cosmetics. Everything in this section is well-​stocked. I did purchase a make-​up bag with a green/​brown mod floral print for $ 30, which seems steep to me, but since I am travelling in…2−3 hours from now… I didn’t care. I was just happy there was a variety and I didn’t have to purchase some teenybopper bag with peace signs on it.
Some of the employees were sort of hooting and hollering at each other, mostly younger girls, between the registers and clothing directly across from the checkouts. Whenever I see/​hear anything in a store that I know I would’ve been reamed for when I worked in retail, but these kids get away with it, I wanna slap these kids!
The location is so ideal and convenient to Yorktown mall. But turn on the lights!
