Target

This store is trash, manager Joaquin is a little, rude b*tch who acts like he’s tough shit, but he’s really a p*ssy.

Apparently being a manager at this specific target location requires you to be illiterate and stupid. Both managers on the floor apparently can’t read past the 5^th grade level. First manager said I couldn’t use my coupon because the item wasn’t pictured on the coupon. When stated that she needs to read the fine print, dumb broad decides to argue and say that the coupon is invalid. Dealt with a second manager who decides that the first reasoning from preventing me from using my coupon is indeed stupid as well, makes up her own rules for why I’m only limited to using one. ONE per purchase is not the same as one per transaction. Luckily the girl cashier I had before dealing with dumb and dumber was nice. She even saw my coupon agreed that it was valid. Too bad this location only promotes people who are too stupid to understand a simple coupon policy.

This Target location on Bristol is probably the grimiest one. Actually it’s probably the ONLY grimey Target I’ve ever been to.
The parking lot is always packed and worse it’s packed full of idiot drivers. I know that has nothing to do with the store. I’m merely describing the atmosphere of this charming location (insert sarcastic tone).
Every time I walk into this store (which isn’t often, thank goodness) there’s a weird & funky smell that makes me wanna turn around and walk out, but I just hurry and get what I need because I’m already there.
I’m giving this location one star due to the fact that there are self-​checkouts now. Only plus about this location.

I like Target but have concerns at this location. Several clerks at checkout use cell phones at the exact same time you use your credit card. Do they see this as gap time with friends or are they trying to capture credit card info? I only pay cash at this location. Just too risky and Target has had breaks in securing cards before. It would seem they need to look both inward as well as outward in regards to security for patrons.

Liz at the customer service counter was really nice and very helpful. I came in a few days ago to exchange an item that I lost a receipt to which was my mistake. She made things right and made me leave with a smile on my face. I should’ve left this review sooner but it took a bad experience at another Target location that made me wish there were more people like Liz to help you out.

Had to meet a gift card seller at this store and knew exactly what I wanted, a DJI Drone w/​free backpack offer Target was doing. So I did everything I could to make everything go smoothly making sure it’s in stock and the deal was being offered.
I called them to make sure they had the free backpack deal going on. Guy said they weren’t doing that deal and when I told him all the other Targets are doing it, he said something like «well this is not a magazine Target store». But I knew this deal was going on, I knew every detail including its end date. Called another Target and that employee had a good feeling that person was lazy and didn’t want to check, and that all Targets do the same deal.
I go to the store and I see that offer going on, so that person lied stating that this Target doesn’t follow the other Targets offers. Pissed off that someone would not wanna check real quick and rather make some story up, especially when this $ 700 drone is prominently on display in the electronics area at every single Target.
To add the insult, they can’t find the free DJI backpack even though their system says its in stock. It’s not with the drone, and said they wouldn’t offer the free backpack deal if it’s not there or do a rain check. They made no effort to try look for it either and acted like their job was done even though the inventory system said 1 was available.
A smarter Target worker at another store told me the DJI backpacks sometimes get thrown into the luggage area on accident. And then I go the luggage section and this guy was right, I found their missing backpack the moment I walk into the luggage section aisle. Making me to do the Target employee’s job to find a missing item. And having to fix their mistakes.
This Bristol Target really fucked me over and wasted my time because I had to text my gift card seller my item was not there and lets try a different store. Which caused her to not wanna meet me. It was then I decided to see if I can find that missing backpack so I can get my deal over with. I begged her to come back once I found it, but she was already pissed at me and hung up on me. She eventually came through, but all those inconveniences really screwed with my gift card meet up. What was supposed to be a simple 20 min trip turned into a 2 hour run around.
This Target isn’t helpful, you are on your own if you need to find something specific. They employees here rather stare into space all day rather than make an effort to find a missing item. I have to thank the Irvine Target employee for telling me where the backpack could be misplaced, he seemed to care to make customer’s lives easier.

The parking here is the worst! People are uncivilized and drive like monsters here. It is also the dirtiest Target I have ever seen! It smells disgusting like poop, I mean it is torture being inside.
It is also a dangerous location so make sure to lock up your vehicle and watch your back. Also be aware of your surroundings inside as there are creepy people walking around, not shopping. just walking for no reason at all.
This store is not what a Target should be like… even Walmart is a step up.
Just stick to the one in Costa Mesa, I mean its a world of difference.

This store is a big mess.
Went to buy printer ink and all the boxes were in the wrong place.
Also most of the printer ink boxes were open.
Told one employee and he could care less.
The store in Irvine is much better and cleaner

I love this Target! It’s got all the necessities one could need. It’s your basic Target, basic needs and the best part, the clearance items are cheaper here than at other places.
This is Santa Ana. If you’re a pretentious jerk, keep driving down to Irvine to pay higher prices for the same items or for your choice of 20 more lotions which nobody «needs». But don’t come here and complain.

Parking can suck here because there are many stores in the vicinity.
The store can be a little messy. And the popular items can go quickly. I had to go to another store to get stuff because this place lacked some of the items I wanted. However, there can also be some items discounted at this store that are not at another store.
Customer service was okay…

An interesting Target. Pretty busy here and they have a grocery area, as most now have. Cashier was very friendly but some of the clientele are a little sketchy.

Terrible… absolutely terrible. I love Target. I’m really loyal to the brand but this Target was atrocious. First off I read one of the Unilocal reviews about the smell and was like «this must be an exaggeration». Wrong, this place really does smell bad. My goodness who cleans this place (or does it get clean at all). The make of the store is really bad too. It looked like it had seen better days for sure.
Once inside I was met with some clearly dissatisfied employees. They looked so miserable that I didn’t even bother asking for some help. Most of the employees are either in the front miserable or in the back talking to each other. No wonder this place is terrible.
We came through looking for some CDs. When we got to the aisle everything was gone. There wasn’t a lot of selection. Maybe they were out of stock but it looked abysmal. Finally I just decided to get some pens and went to cash out. The cashiers took forever. I’m done with this Target. I won’t be returning until a remodeling occurs.
PS this parking structure sucks too

I love target you can just find anything and everything you need!
It’s so much more better than Walmart and prices are good too. I love how they always have more than 3 registers open so you’ll never be waiting for too long! I don’t think I’ve ever had to wait behind more than 3 people and I’ve been coming here for years.
Everything is also organized and categorized very neatly.
Customer service is good too, they’re always willing to answer my annoying questions that they probably get asked a million times a day.
All in all, target over anything any day.

The only reason that I would go to this Target is because it is the closest one to my home. The next Target is too far out of the way (on Harbor in Costa Mesa). Other than that, I would not come here. The aisles are almost always messy… don’t even get me started on the Dollar Section here! Aside from the food part of the section, it looks like a bomb went off, and stuff is thrown everywhere. Also, it seems like things are almost always out of stock. If you see something in the Dollar Section at another Target and come here looking for it, you can bet you won’t find it here! Secondly, the makeup aisle is the same thing. It is very understocked.
However, on the bright side, it never gets too crowded (for me, at least), and it is relatively clean. Although the fitting rooms can be a different story (a little stanky).

This Target blows, but man! It’s close to my apartment so when I need to pick up a potato masher or a quart of milk at 9:00 PM, I usually bite the bullet and head straight over to this Target.
My fellow Unilocaler Pillin L. said. «Not all Targets are created equal.» She’s right. For some reason this Target just can’t get it together. Is it because it’s in a shoddy shopping center? Is it the location along Bristol? What is it?!
I came here to pick up just five essential home products this past Sunday afternoon. One of those items was water, the gallon sort. They were sold out. WTF! How does that even happen?!
Whenever I go to Target I usually like to stop in the cosmetics section because, duh, I love makeup. I don’t even bother with this Target because the inventory is always dismal… I would compare it to Ulta’s inventory, and that’s pretty sad.
Female hygiene products? Forget it. I’m better off running to Rite Aid across the street. Will I have to pay more for those items? Yes, but I need them, dammit!
Clothing selection in general… let’s not even talk about it.
This Target is hopeless. Do yourself a favor and just go to the one on Harbor and Baker.

The following review is for their Pharmacy.
Don’t be fooled by my 2 stars. Let me just start off by telling you how much I LOVE Target. It’s my go-​to place for anything and everything, they have great quality stuff at a good price, and you can stack discounts like no other. (This particular location is actually quite ghetto in a number of ways, but that’s another story)…either way, I could go on.
The pharmacy at this specific location, however, will no longer be my go-​to place for prescriptions. You will stand in line to pick up your prescription for what seems like an eternity before reaching the counter, only to spend at least another 15 minutes standing there waiting for an incompetent worker to service you.
That’s not all. My second experience with this place is what prompted me to write this review…
I lost my prescription a couple days ago and was hoping to obtain a refill at no cost provided by my insurance. I called Target Pharmacy, explained my situation, and was told to call back in an hour. About 70 minutes later, I called back, and not only did I have to explain my situation again, I was told to wait an additional 30 minutes. It became evident at this point that the employees at this pharmacy did not practice efficient communication skills whatsoever. 40 minutes later, I call back. Did I have to explain myself again? Yes! Was I finally done being assisted? Of course not! The employee on the line THEN told me to give them MY phone number, so that they would call me back once they figured things out. I received a call back 15 minutes later and everything was finally taken care of.
I completely understand the fact that Target had to take the time to touch base with my insurance company, but PLEASE DO NOT tell me to keep calling back over and over again if you do not have an answer for me yet. This was a very frustrating experience and it’s safe to say that I wasted almost half of my evening waiting for a definitive answer from them.
TL;DR: Slow & unprofessional pharmacy with workers that don’t communicate very well between one another. You are better off going to the Target Pharmacy on Harbor.

Only time I go to Target is when the lady wants to go.
Just like any other Target, FREE WIFI!
yassss, no need to waste my Data
while my GF shops around lol.

I don’t think anyone reads reviews before going to a Target, but I just want to say this.
I hate this location. I hate the long lines and I hate the weirdo cashiers that work here. (Nobody wants to hear about the benefits of drinking tea.) Three’s a crowd does not apply at this location. The pharmacy takes forever and some ghetto people keep opening the hair products and dipping their fingers in there. Classy. The LOD at this location needs to do a much better job.
I only come here because it’s close to my work, but honestly, I hate this location. Target, if you were a guy, I would so punch you in the face.

I love me some Target, heck I think everyone has some sort of Target addiction. I go to this particular location just because its close to work and I can pop in on my lunch break if I need something.
This location is no different than all the other Targets in regards to what they have in stock, you may however find some good stuff on clearance which is always a nice find oh and this one has a Starbucks inside just in case you need a pick me up while you shop.
This store is usually pretty clean and the customer service at this one is good, I had a scan coupon for $ 10 off and for some reason it wasn’t picking it up but instead of my cashier dismissing it she promptly called the manager and they gave me the discount.

Well this is definitely your below average target. Perhaps its due to location, but i doubt it. Perhaps its due to staff, but dont know any of them. But this place just didnt have the same target standards that i am used to. Honestly it felt like I was in a trashy walmart.
This location had a ton of stuff just haphazardly placed around the store. Someone picked something up and 3 aisles later decided to dump it. Normally that is moved back to its original spot quickly, but it didnt seem to happen here.
Pro Tip: They have a giant shared strip mall parking lot just down the street a mile from south coast plaza or so.
They have all the usual target brands and clearance racks etc. So that is good, it just wasnt up to the usual top notch standards I am used to finding elsewhere. I doubt will be back, as I am almost never needing a costco when im in that area…
