Target

Tonight, ¹⁄₂₉ I decided to do some shopping at target located within the eagle rock mall. As I walked in, I went over to the market area to grab some fruit. As I picked up a pineapple, a small swarm of flies and insects began to fly and move around! I was disgusted and extremely disturbed. So I went to speak to an associate to contact a manger to relay what was going on. The associate brought over another person who was supposed to be working within the market section, all they did was stare and walked away! No one even bothered to remove the fruit nor clean the area. This is absurd and a big health concern as insects were infesting the other fruits in the section. Very disappointed in the management, as it makes you question their priorities of the company!

This is uh, a very interesting Target. I only go here because it’s 11 minutes away from home. I’m not a fan of the entrance into the parking lot for this Target. It’s a bit dodgy. The interior and layout of the store I’m not a fan of. I found everything I needed but it felt like it took twice as long with the upstairs/​downstairs. There weren’t many cashiers on the registers so that was a bit annoying.

The only reason I have continued to go to this Target is because I live so close to it, but I’ve been known to drive to the next city just so I can go to a better location with multiple registers open and friendly service and I’m starting to think I should avoid it completely. Very few employees at this one greet you or ask if you need help and there are never, ever… EVER…enough cashiers. Every single time I go, there are two registers open and about twenty people in line. Why do they even HAVE the other registers? Are they for Black Friday and then closed the rest of the year?
The icing on the cake is when you bring up an item that has a clearance sticker on it and are treated like a criminal because the barcode doesn’t match the clearance sticker. They don’t come right out and say it but they basically accuse you of putting the clearance sticker on the item. I understand the issue as I have worked in retail, but I feel that the sticker price should be honored instead of the cashier having to fetch a manager, making everyone in the unnecessarily long line wait and embarrassing us. The employees should take better care to make sure the items in clearance sections belong there and that the stickers are correct.
Overall this location needs work and management obviously doesn’t care about customers. I constantly see employees goofing off and having personal conversations, never acknowledging me, but they can’t have a few of these clowns on the registers? Ridiculous.

They need more cashiers! Their lines are crazy long all the time and they have staff walking around but not on the register.

I haven’t been to this target in a while and i don’t know what happened to it. The check out line is outrageous!!! There’s only 2 – 3 registers open on each floor. Where are all the employees??? Never coming back here again.

The average wait to checkout at this Target has become unbearable. I live walking distance to this store and was hoping to make it my go-​to grocery shopping destination. But waiting for ten minutes to checkout? RIDICULOUS. I never wait more than 2 minutes in line at the Ralphs just down the street in Glendale. There are 22 check out stands at this Target and yet there never seem to be more than 5 open at a time. The lines go so far back they block the walk-​way to get to the escalators. And the checkers never have a sense of urgency. Hope management will do something to address this.

Kudos for employing a team member with a hearing impairment. He was all smiles at the register.

I love coming to target, they always have what I need, or something similar to it. What I hate is filling my prescriptions here. Its not so much for the amount if mibry I pay, but the staff is so rude. I had a problem with a prescription where my Dr didn’t call in all my meds, I asked the supervisor there (some stuck up filipina) if I can call the Dr from her phone because I didn’t have signal in the lower Level and she looked at me and rolled her eyes and told me she would let me know. After waiting for almost half an hour, I asked her again and she gave me the worst attitude ever.
I’m not sure what the policy is for using the pharmacy phone to call a DOCTORS OFFICE is… But if I wasn’t allowed to use the phone, then say so. Don’t have me wait over half an hour then give me attitude as you’re dialing the doctors office. When the nurse clarified the prescription that was missing, I asked her if she can speak to the Dr and she said no, that the Dr can calk target themselves (even though the Dr was already on the line) and she would take the call. I understand if she was busy. But she wasn’t. She was just overlooking everyone else work including the pharmacy tech interns… As she just had her hands crossed.
I’ve been filling my prescriptions for years here, but I can assure you that I won’t be coming back here again. I have Aetna insurance and I KNOW that target charges commercial insurances like mine top dollar., so don’t look down on me like she’s giving me free service. Because she’s not. I’m paying. !

The parking lot is the worst here. Really you would think such an old Target with so much parking, both an upper and lower level would not be such a mess, it is totally overcrowded though.
Plenty of check out lines and a great selection make up for it.
Service was excellent and the store huge (2 story) and well stocked.
A bit dated and dim, but great layout and location otherwise.

The woman in toy Dept lied to me and then Customer service associate didn’t help matters, but simply made them SO much worse! HORRIBLE customer service! Don’t go to this location!!!

Quite possibly the worst Target. Ransacked like a K-​mart in the 90’s. Never adequately staffed and the staff that are there are overworked and untrained. Obviously not a staff problem but a management problem.

Three words: OPEN UNTIL MIDNIGHT! (Monday — Saturday. Sunday’s until 11 pm). AND they open at 8:00 AM! Convenience is everything in Los Angeles, and these hours make getting to Target during the holiday season particularly easy. This target has a multiple level parking structure but finding the exit can be a bit difficult.
I think the escalators for shopping carts within the store is brilliant! What a great invention! I like being able to shop downstairs and upstairs and have one easy check out. There are always plenty of check stands open, the bathrooms are decent, and all kinds of merchandise from groceries to cosmetics to toys to gardening to automotive for to electronics.
Target is one of my favorite places to efficiently get a lot of shopping done!

Asked to buy one of the televisions on display (55 inch Samsung H6203) and the television brought out (55 inch Samsung H6200) was NOT the one I requested to buy. I guess they thought I just wouldn’t notice?
When I noticed the mistake, the manager said the model I liked on display was no longer available and they give customers who like the H6203 on the H6200 by default. Didn’t even apologize.
When I offered to purchase the display model H6203 for a discount he said he would not discount the price.
So beware: not only do they bait-​and-​switch televisions, but they also think it’s fair to sell display model televisions with missing parts at full price.

Well I now know why this store has such low reviews. I called the store asking to speak to the General manager and the girl who answered the phone (an apparent supervisor) tried to give me a difficult time and wouldn’t transfer the call. Then when she finally agreed to transfer the call, the call would be picked up and then directly placed on hold again.
They obviously don’t see the need to talk to their customers and I guess I no longer need to shop there.

A dual level Target store with all of the standard fare. Electronics, toys, clothing etc. They’ve expanded their food (and alcohol) section and it now takes up over a 3^rd of the top floor.
Parking: one of the great things about this store is that there is never any issue parking. Unlike the pasadena location the abundance of parking here makes is much more convineint.

When Target first opened up, I was such an excited high school student cause now I could spend all my time and money at target. I used to walk in there with a mindset to buy shampoo and I’d walk out $ 50 poorer cause I realized I needed all these other things as I walked around. I am so sad that the dollar section is now $ 1 or $ 3.
As the years have gone by, it’s starting to look a little dingy. I mean it won’t stop me from shopping at target but I’ve noticed a decline. The restrooms always smell and so does the carpet around the entrance of it.
Never really noticed a store layout as I have it memorized. My mom used to bring us here often lol. Great parking as its in a huge plaza.
It’s also connected to eagle rock plaza and don’t forget to check out those stores too.

Much of my experience with this pharmacy has been on the good side. The pharmacists themselves seem confident enough to tell you the information that you need pertaining to your medication.
One helpful feature is their text notification system. You just drop off your prescription and when it’s ready, they send you a text message. I like this feature because sometimes they don’t give you an accurate wait time.
If you question their stock of a certain medication, give them a call!

(Shopped 12÷23÷14 TU @ 2:30pm and many times before): Bullseye… all my brethren Pinoy brothers and sisters couldn’t be wrong about this place!
Oh heck, I was last-​minute Christmas shopping, felt sentimental, and figured it was finally time I wrote a review for Eagle Rock’s Target location. This has been my go-​to «Tar Jay», and honestly, I was tired of the constant «Your Next Review Awaits» homepage annoying beacon reminder whenever I signed-​in on my laptop. So here was my latest adventure:
Greeting Cards ($ 1.99) — I used to haunt Hallmark stores back in the day but have since eased my way to e-​cards, Facebook birthday postings, text messages, and of course the simple call on the phone with a personal greeting all for the sake of the environment… and the cheapskate in me! But when it was Mom’s birthday, she still required the physical whimsical card from her baby boy. The prices were generally cheaper than most and selection was varied and plentiful.
Men’s Clothing ($ 15.00) — Damn, I remembered back in the 90’s when the Mossimo brand was the shit and I actually made bank on them when I sold all my stock because I noticed the shoddy material and workmanship. Well, Dad loved his flannel shirts to death (seriously, he wore them until there was nothing left!) and this nice lumberjack number was on sale from a still inexpensive $ 24.99 which tended to be the average price for such items. Personally, I’ve only bought workout clothes because who cared how they looked?!
CDs ($ 26.99) — I still bought physical CDs which they usually had a surprisingly good selection along with some nice «Target Exclusive» editions. But in this case, Mom needed Streisand’s lastest release, and I decided to introduce her to one of my favorite songtress, Sarah McLachlan. Both were literally music to her ears.
Service — With a sales staff that ranged from first-​job high schoolers to semi-​retired older adults, I’ve honestly never had any issues with anyone I’ve ever dealt with. Someone always greeted me when I entered or left, answered any questions I had, genuinely seemed to know their products and appeared happy, and one time I was offered a raincheck for an item that was sold out — they still did that! Baby
and wedding registries were also available. All aces in my book!
Parking (Free) — Located at the Pinoy capital of retail in Southern California — the Eagle Rock Plaza, there was ample parking all around this two-​level structure — ’nuff said.
Atmosphere, décor, ambience — Your typical «deparcery» store, there were two levels filled with clothes, food, gardening, home furnishings, household goods, toiletries and more. There were interior mall entrances on both floors, long escalators and quick-​ride elevators found in the center, and a ton of checkout counters also on both floors. The prescription counter was downstairs, while prepared food was upstairs. Of course, the walls and floor were covered with various ads and POP/​POS displays. Natural lighting only came through the second-​level front windows
while the rest of the store was electric soul-​sucking fluorescent lighting. At least in the electronics & entertainment department, there were TVs and background music.
Attire — Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-​shirt, boardshorts, and flip-​flops.
Overall, the Target location in Eagle Rock has been a pleasure to shop at. The prices were always competitive, they usually had all items stocked (don’t forget to ask for a raincheck if something was sold out), it tended to be one of the cleaner locations, and again the service has been wonderful. Plus, it wasn’t as crowded as the nearby Glendale Galleria location. I found exceptionally good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (total paid experience was around $ 48.00; no tip required). And, they accepted my credit card of choice… AMEX! 4.5 STARS

Why this Target rocks:
It’s open until midnight. And it has everything. And by everything I mean:
A Starbucks that accepts your actual Starbucks gold card
Inexpensive Tide
That last minute baby shower gift you almost forgot
Greeting cards
Affordable groceries like Peet’s coffee, organic milk and Progresso soup
Play-​Doh
Sonia Kashuk cosmetics
Everything you could possibly need for your earthquake emergency kit
Parking is not bad. Service is usually good. And you can get cash back.
Only downside is that Starbucks closes at 10 pm. Oh, well. Nothing’s perfect!

Almost nobody makes out a trip to Target to get a few necessities, and leaves with just that! Duh!
Halloween means seasonal candies: D Woohoo~!!!
I’m a little embarrassed to say I spent 2 ½ hours shopping here (mainly for treats) =X. I did take my time, but it’s also not the most organized here.
To buy list:
— Bed sheets
— Towels
— Laundry detergent
— Limited edition Oreos if any
Unexpected finds/​purchases:
— Candy corn flavored popcorn
— Candy corn Hershey’s
— Caramel apple Milky Way
— Caramel apple soda
— Caramel apple Pirates Booty corn puffs
— Disney Halloween cheese puffs
— Halloween Rice Crispies
— Pumpkin-​shaped Reese’s white chocolate
— Orange-​colored Kit Kats
— Watermelon Oreos
— Bed sheets, towels and laundry detergent
Heh… ^^
Not to mention they also had other Halloween editions such as candy corn flavored marshmallows, pumpkin spiced marshmallows, Halloween cookies baking kit, TONS of super-​sized candy bags for the trick-​or-​treaters in all sorts of variations, LOTS of different costumes for all ages including pets, and fancy decorative items!
Not much inventory over at the Cosmetics department. They did have an entire isle full of hair products on both sides of the isle. But one isle had some Burt Bee’s products and then another isle had even more of those same Burt Bee’s products; which leads me to my only gripe with this location…
Thumbs down:
Products are all over the place and isles aren’t the most efficiently designed for a convenient shopping experience. You have the dried and canned foods on this section of the floor, but then the pasta sauce and cereals are on the other corner by the non-​food related items. The Target here is two stories, so they do have a LOT of merchandise. Women’s clothing can be found on both floors… whyy? So you will probably end up having to go back and forth, up and down the escalators/​elevators if you’re not familiar with this location. (I worry for children who tend to wander. Super easy to get lost!) There is a directory, but it isn’t descriptive enough to depend on it solely. But it’s okay, they have plenty of opened registers on both floors!
Also, not to nitpick; All the Oreos were at the cookie isle (so I thought) and I found watermelon flavored ones! But then during my browse I found an entire shelf of the cookie dough ones by the chocolates! What if I hadn’t passed by that part of the floor :(
I may have missed it, but I didn’t notice the $ 1 section most Targets have. I’m sure they have it, though… somewhere. If you find it, let me know!
