Target

There are wonderful times when an application process goes awesome. Even if I don’t walk away with a job, Ive left with my dignity. Those are the times when I feel respected because I was treated like an already hired Internal customer/​guest who was given the best chance possible.
That was not the case for me at this Target. I applied to this store in October/​November and had 2 really great interviews with the Warehouse and Sales Floor Managers. The process moved forward and I looked forward to sealing the agreement and beginning work by the holiday’s. Issues were found somewhere along the way. I wasn’t notified of any way to clear these obstacles or informed of the steps Target was taking to get me moving forward. Not the main issue! The issue most stressing is that when I called and spoke with Jessica today and asked to speak to someone from personnel, I was shut out with“we’re not hiring.” Rude #1
So I attempted to explain to Jessica that That’s OK, but I would like to speak to someone so that we could figure out if steps could be taken so that when the store was hiring, I would know if I would be fit for the position and company.
” Well, we’re not hiring so we’re not looking at applications!” That was the response from Jessica.
…Click!
Word of advice: treat internal and external guests with equal priority! Now, I’ll likely not shop or want to work at this store from this day forth and am very willing to recommend NOT shopping or working for this store to everyone at my school, in my other workplaces, and the community programs I participate in.
Thank you Target @Capitol Ave&McKee RD.

To cut down on costs, I usually go to target already knowing what to buy. So this time, I headed to the women’s section and checked out their shawls. The woman from the fitting room was very friendly and accommodating. I was here also to exchange bras for a different size. By the end of the trip, I got John Freida’s hair serum to experiment with my hair, and a travel-​size body wash for an upcoming trip. My mom stocked up on batteries, and we were at peace. We must have spent a total of $ 25 on everything.
Love this store because of convenient parking, friendly service, and wide selection.

Why am I reviewing Target? Because I have no life like these other Unilocalers?
Yes, of course, and also because they carry kombucha now, a beautifully stocked, refrigerated case of it in the grocery department. Target also seems to keep it at a lower temperature than other stores. Not sure if this is detrimental to the live probiotics, but damn is it refreshing.
I can now pick up wet wipes and kombucha in one trip. That convenience alone is worth 5 stars.

This target is larger than the one on Landess. It has a Starbucks immediately in front of the cash registers. It’s like any target you would go to but it does offer a few different items the Landess one does not. It cant also be a little messier than the one on Landess but its not too noticeable. If you are to try studying at Starbucks here, there isn’t an outlet I know of.

My go-​to Target in San Jose: seems larger, cleaner, and more variety. They have huge grocery and electronics sections. They have pretty standard Target stuff, and things you need. It’s really spacious and the grocery section in the back is pretty extensive. Employee service is a hit or miss, depending on who you encounter.

Caleb and Dante provided the the best customer service that I have had in a while at target when I bought a display Christmas tree. The first employee (name unknown and not worth finding out) that helped me said that they will bring it to the car and I will have to disassemble and load it myself. I really didn’t really mind doing that.
Dante then started to help take the tree down and Caleb from the warehouse came through with seranwrap and they both disassembled the tree for me and wrapped it up real nice to where I can just easily load the pieces myself. I guess they saw me with my 1 year old and elderly father and knew the struggle I would have disassembling the tree and wanted to help:)
Thanks guys!!! Keep it up! Happy holidays:)

It’s a pretty good place to shop, definitely above average, and I love the remodeling that they did a couple of years ago. It added more character, me thinks, but if they had/​have more people working those cashier registers, there wouldn’t be so many customers waiting in a bunch of long lines, on a daily basis; particularly on the weekends.
Another thing is that they should think about expanding their sizes, instead of catering to those who fall into either the petite or the «average» body range (this is on the recommendation of my mom) but I have noticed that they’re getting better and that’s a definite plus!
I do love browsing their scarves/​hats, paintings, cookware and dvd/​cd sections –they always make my experiences there better!

Just your typicaL Target– nothing that makes it stand out.
I come here if I’m in the area or because this is my 2^nd cLosest option when the Target off of Landess is compLeteLy out of what I need.
The seLection can be a bit Lacking at times but the customer service is A-​OK.
Perks of this Location: HUGE parking Lot.
(I’ve actuaLLy witnessed a few peopLe practicing behind the wheeL driving.)

Target, go take my money!
Target is love. Target is life. Target is where I go to when I’m feeling sad or happy. Target knows how to slap me back to reality when I reach the bath & bed section.
I’ve never had a bad experience here, but other locations (such as Coleman or Saratoga) have much more to offer.
However, I recommend coming here anyways if you’re feeling down, bored, or during those hot summer days (they have GREAT AC).

About Cat products provided by Target: Target is my number 1 store for multi cat litter & large bags of cat food! I only go to Target. They are the most affordable with the most quantity and quality. They carry Purina instant action in bucket size that lasts a whole week sometime a week and a half for 4 one year old cats. I use the whole bucket! Sift 2x a day and it stays fresh for week :) they also have a bucket size store brand or lower price thats not bad. I also get the two huge bags of Purina I forget the size but I get the largest one and get a $ 5 discount target card when on sale. I always get the big blue bag thats made for all age cats from kittens to old age which has the most vitamins :) I buy cat gravy Fancy Feast or the chicken pouches that’s like kitty soup for a dollar a pouch & 12 bucks for 24 cans of gravy cat food. All at once that last a week or two. So if Im not at petfood max for cans of Fancy Feast its target for everything which saves me time and $. Its like smart and final for cats :) good quality for a bang for your buck.

First time at this Target location. Only came here because I really really really wanted a fan. I already went to three different Targets near SJSU and all the fans were gone — I assumed the freshmen cleared the shelves! So I went online to see which location had the fan in stock and this was the next closest location. This Target was in a big shopping center with lots and lots of parking — a little too much parking! The layout of the Target is all weird and stuff, so I kind of got lost. But I found my fan, so I’m happy. There’s self checkout at this location too! There’s also a nice Starbucks inside Target :) I probably won’t be back to this location since it’s a little further /​I’m never really in the Alum Rock area, but at least I know there’s another Target nearby :)

Busy, busy shopping center. I’ll drive farther for less problems entering & leaving.

There is no customer service there, 5 out of 5 times I asked for help looking for an item, the answer was always «we don’t have any.»
The chubby gargoyle looking female cashier with 10 layers of make up on kept talking about her life with every freaking customer in her line, slowing the scanning process down dramatically, when her mouth is moving, her hands are not!
I called once to check if they had an item, I was on hold for 20 minutes, being transferred back and forth between 2 women. She eventually said «I’m not sure, let me transfer you to someone at electronics, he’ll know.»
she transferred me, a guy answered, and I told him what I was looking for and that the woman said he could help me. He said «I don’t know anything about that,» then hang up on me. I called back and that woman put me on hold again. Does target employees not know how to check inventory?
I will never shop at Target again!
«Target Managements, don’t forget to thank your rude, lazy, useless employees for chasing away your paying customers. Also, thank them for bring Target down to Walmarts level.»
If we’re getting the same shitty customer service, then at least Walmart is cheaper. What do you have to offer Target?

Love going to Target. This one seems real nice. I love how I can always find what I need here. Love the fact that they have lots of American made items.

Decent Target! Always packed!!!
Parking is decent and has a large lot. This is my go to Target, but nothing really sticks out here. Everything is usually in its place, but the place is on the older side and doesn’t always carry everything I look for that I saw at a different target.

No Booze sold here! No beer, wine or natha! At least there is a Starbucks. Place packed and messy. Did not find a few things I was looking for. I should have went to the target near my home. Parking is a mess and the carts stop on you when outside-​all bad! Only two stars because I found some items on my list– and had a nice ice coffee as I shopped. Will not return here to run errands.

That store is suck, 100 present suck, Because of one of managers. He have Indian accent. He is still thinking he is woking on old country, like Indian or some where ! I hadn’t saw so ridiculous and uneducated manager at any target store before !
I waited in line for check out my electronic product at electronic department. Before I stand in a line. Target ‘s red T-​shirt associate say I can check out at electronic department. when the Indian accent manager come to me, a dude in front of me was paying for his electronic products that as same as I had, talk to casher who the only one on electronic department. He say I can not check out here without buy any iPad. I have already standing for at least 30 minuter. Ridiculous

I was running errands and happened to found myself at this particular Target location. First off, the location is pretty easy to find since I don’t know the area too well. There is a huge parking lot only for Target while there’s another parking lot for the stores nearby in the same plaza. It’s nice that they separated Target from all the other smaller stores. The store itself was clean and organized. It was the weekend so it was definitely busy.
I was trying to buy a tri-​fold poster board for a class project. I knew right away where to go for the school supplies and quickly found my way there. However, I didn’t find what I wanted and I am guessing they ran out. They do have lots of variety of posters, but not the one I needed or the size was too small. They have like «baby» tri-​fold poster boards. I was kind of disappointed and left soon after hoping to find a poster somewhere else.
Other than the fact that I didn’t find what I needed, the store itself was still decent. The store was packed and I don’t blame them for it. It is the holiday season and everyone is trying to get presents and all that. Overall, I would come back if I am ever in the area.

I’m a big Target fan. Yes, Target. It’s leagues better than the evil personified company Wal-​Mart. There is another Target closer to me in Milpitas, but I often find myself at this one for whatever reason.
This place gets packed and crowded. Not as bad as Wal-​Mart, but still pretty bad. Lots of times, they are understocked and most of the employee’s don’t know crap. I asked this guy a question the other day and said about a pumpkin carver and he said «we don’t carry those». Well in less than 5 minutes, I found it. Sounds like keeping your employees informed is not an immediate concern. Still, this is Target.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Target overall. (Yes, I do. Oh yes) This one is severely lacking at times though. It’s a bit on the sloppy side. Still, they do have a decent selection.
However, if you like Target and don’t mind a little drive. Check out the one in Milpitas instead.

I stopped in Target to pick up a gift card for a friend’s b-​day and also to return a few items.
The return line was a bit slow with a bunch of people.
Purchasing the gift card with pretty simple and then I was on my way out.
