Target

This Target has a little bit of everything for everyone. First of all, it offers the same great selection that every Target has, sprinkled with a fair amount of police enforcement to address the homeless population that has, for some reason, selected this location as their Mecca.
The parking lot offers a significant amount of parking that I’ve never had a problem finding a spot in, except on that one Christmas Eve when everyone was losing their mind.
The prices and assortment are standard fair. You can get everything here that you would at a normal Target — plus they have the add on of the Carryout Café and Optical center.
This is definitely one of my go-to’s for everything!

Friendly peeps inside, Parking is horrible though.

I used to shop here all the time… Then Yesenia ruined that! She is a customer service rep, I came to return a gift my son had received and already had– she very rudely told me it’s not in our system there is nothing we can do. I replied «it was a gift I don’t have the receipt». In which she told us they should have given you a gift receipt or something not just the gift. I love Target but customer service is everything… Unfortunately this target is slacking big time… There are multiple targets in the area get your time and money worth– go to a target that will appreciate you and help you!

Most of the time I shop there at night. I usually go in close to closing. The staff doesn’t make me rushed. I did place an on line order but they pulled the wrong item when I had arrived. I went and got the right one myself. I have walked by several of the staff at times who didn’t acknowledge me. Nice staff but nothing spectacular accept for one cashier who wished me well when I went on there for some cold meds.

One of my favorite targets in San Diego. It’s huge and has all of the latest target merchandise. Only problem… Make sure to check the dates of the milks and cottage cheeses before you buy them. As with all the targets in my experience, they expire quickly. I still love this target very clean.

We came to Target to pickup some beach gear and toys for the kids. They had everything we needed.
The parking was ok and the lines weren’t bad.

This target has a great parking lot! I never have issues trying to find parking. The employees are super nice and as helpful as they can be. I came in today to return an item and the line was LONG, but the two ladies managed to get through the line decently quick. I only waited about 10 minutes to make my returns. This particular target usually has a great selection of items that are in stock. I have been to other targets where the shelves are empty. Not this one though. I like the fresh produce and meat selection here as well. I find that it is of good quality and reasonably priced. Being where it is, it is very convenient since it is near many other needed stores such as a pet store, Home Depot, grocery store, etc. However, because of where it is it also tends to have some colorfully, strange individuals that come in, especially near closing time. It seems that every time I’m in there a little before closing some drugged out person is in there going crazy on the check out clerks. so maybe avoid coming here late.

This location always has a good selection of items, and it’s close to my house, so I keep coming back. But the women’s bathroom is always so gross. I have been at different times of day, weeks apart and it’s always dirty (which is a very polite way to put it).
The shopping center and the general area around Sports Arena is pretty busy, so it can be difficult to get a parking spot on the weekends, but it’s nowhere near as busy as the Target in Mission Valley.
The staff here are always very friendly. There is one female staff member in women’s softlines who is just amazing. She is so helpful, I wish I could remember her name.
Overall, if the store were a bit cleaner I would go for a 4 star review.

WARNING!
DO NOT leave your car in this shopping center parking lot alone for more than 30 minutes.
We had never been here before and shopped for a couple hours with family, on a Saturday night.
Apparently there was a sports event across the street and our car was towed.
How does the towing company know which cars are parked for shopping and those who are not using the event parking? They don’t.
The towing charge was $ 352.
In reading other reviews of WESTERN TOWING [(619) 297‑8697], they are well known for illegally towing cars and then afterward they leave a sign in the lot with their contact information on it.
Again, DO NOT leave your car in the lot if there may be an event going on close by.

This is my go-​to Target. The best thing about this Target is it’s not the parking nightmare that the Mission Valley location is (don’t get me started). The store itself is always a little dirty. Like, I kinda want to wipe everything down with one of those sanitizer wipes they have near the carts (which, by the way, seem to forever be out of stock). The bathrooms… let’s just put it this way, I’d rather hold it for 3 hours than use the restrooms here. The few times I’ve stopped in, I’ve regretted it. I get it, no one wants to clean public restrooms… but hey, I don’t want to use public restrooms. The fact is, they’re there for a reason. Please clean them. *insert grin emoji*.
Other than the lack of cleanliness, this Target is alright by me. The shelves always seem to be nicely stocked. The associates are really friendly, and not in an annoying way. And there’s a Starbucks (though those girls seem to hate life — FYI). Overall, it’s my go-​to Target and while they’re not perfect (heck, neither am I), they’re mine.

Kaye is amazing! Today the child I nanny for and I went to Target so he could spend his hard-​earned money from his piggy bank — it was all in change. Kaye was patient, enthusiastic, and encouraging to the kid I nanny for. Customers behind us in line were getting impatient, but she told my nanny kid not to worry about them, and she kept counting out the change. Then she told us about a coupon online that saved him $ 3.25. He was so excited about that! By the end, she had counted out $ 20.23 in change. She made his day!
My 10-​year-​old said he wants to tell her boss that she’s «really nice!»

Its target… they got shiznit to buy… cheap azz HDTV’s… lots of options for candy, video games, briefs for that halloween costume that you want to wear while showing a little of that sexy man leg… ;) lots of cashiers to jack yo money and a good selection of condoms.

Target is the one stop place where I can shop for all my make up, clothes, shoes, and groceries.
They have an awesome make up, hair and skin section (I always get sucked into the nail polish and the lotions). Their clothes seem to have give up a little in price and the quality doesn’t seem to be all that great. They also have pretty basic and generic styles. I really come here for the basics and for a swim suit during the off season when they’re cheaper. Their shoe selection is probably my favorite part of target. They have the most adorable boots and booties for the winter, comfy sandals during the summer, and heels and flats all time of year. I get sucked in!
The groceries are good, a hit or miss for deals. You either come out with a bunch of stuff is there are sales going, or nothing at all if they aren’t.
The staff seemed okay, they seemed tired and ready to go home (we came in about a half hour before they closed. I know, we were THOSE people) but they were pretty friendly. Parking sucked, but hey it’s target and I can manage to not be lazy and walk.

Date of visit: 8÷27÷2015
So Cam wasn’t actually able to make it back to Target during work, but we had a small slice of time between the train station and meeting up with some friends for dinner, so we decided to stop by and reprint.
The customer service was just okay — they replaced all of the photos for free, but since it was just one person, the lady prioritized everyone else, even though we were there first. Not sure why they couldn’t have brought over someone else.
Anyway, only use the Target Photo service if you’re printing general prints, not something specialized with borders. Their printer cuts off the top left part on their pictures and the employees don’t check the photos as they’re printed.
I’m glad that they at least replaced all of the photos for free.

Came to Target to look for some Shopkins toys for my daughter. We found it but there were only a few to choose from. Small selection here. The store itself was organized and easy to find what your looking for. They have a grocery section here which is great. Lots of fresh fruit and frozen food.
I also noticed a Starbucks in here. I was tempted to get a drink, but the line was long.
I didn’t like the parking situation here either. Be careful for all the crazy drivers here. People like to speed through a shopping center. Getting in and out of here is crazy. Come here early if you want parking and avoid the traffic of people trying to find parking.
Place is crazy on a Saturday afternoon.

Located on Sports Arena Boulevard, this is the most convenient Target store for visitors to Ocean, Mission and Pacific beaches. The Target at Mission Valley Mall just off of I-​8 is a close second.
It’s a large Target, with a layout likely much like a Target near where you live. They stock essential beach items such as umbrellas, towels, sunscreen… at regular Target (not beach) prices. And let’s not forget the first aid. One possible difference from your Target at home: awesome kiddie shopping carts.

The mini rolling shopping basket frames are designed to fit a shopping basket and condition the next generation of shoppers to follow the red bullseye banner. Clever kiddie cart in theory, but a flawed design for youngsters that don’t quite get the concept of steering.
The problem is that the rear wheels also spin 360 degrees like the front wheels. Luggage. Kiddo gets some momentum, then stands on the cart and glides across the floor. Too much lateral movement though. Sure, she gets the occasional «awww cuuute» from people, but I feet bad when she drives the cart across the aisle like a crazy person and into oncoming traffic. There’s still plenty time to brush up on steering skills before the future Driver’s Ed years –_​–
The store itself is fine. Snack bar and $tarbucks up front and the usual departments and grocery you’d expect at any Target. Someday, I’d like to take that security scooter for a spin sometime.

This is a nice, clean Target with a good selection of everything from soap to sheets to toys to groceries. You can also buy things online for store pickup. Customer service at checkout is always fast and friendly. Customer service, ironically at «customer service» (aka Returns) is sometimes hit or miss, but Steve is always cheerful and helpful. Target also makes it easy to return anything since they can look up any purchase on your credit card without a receipt, or they’ll return something without a receipt with a picture ID (up to $ 70/​year). If you have a registry with them you can return any gift without a receipt.
With the great selection and long hour, it’s always nice to have a Target nearby!

I like this target. They’re open til pretty late and it’s perfect for when I want something to do after my night classes. They have a pizza corner and Starbucks with a pretty big sitting area.
There’s the $ 1 corner where there’s always something new to buy for every holiday or just because.
I skip the clothes section and just go straight to the travel pack wall and see what I can get for my next weekend trip: baby wipes, contact solution, hair stuff.
There’s always cute, fun cards to read if you’re bored.
I like buying plates and cups, especially if they’re cute like for kids. I’m using them as my dogs food and water bowl at the moment.
They have this pretty cool wine cork where you keep it in the bottle but you can open it and pour without taking it out. (Picture below) They were on clearance for just over $ 5 for 2. I mean, I don’t like the colors but… oh well.
Anywho, they have their holiday candy in the back right of the store and that’s my last stop.

This is your typical Target. The parking lot is always full so I usually park in the back and walk. The staff is helpful and the check-​out is pretty fast.
My tip is to download their Target Cartwheel app and you can scan barcodes to see if there are extra discounts. This app is helpful and saves a few bucks.
