Target

While I do fancy «Target», and this stores location is somewhat convenient for me, I can not say that this is my favorite. I come here maybe two times a month. I would love to come here more, however, here are my negatives:
One, the parking is horrible! The store can be practically empty, but there is absolutely no parking! People just «park at target» that are shopping in the mall. Just a personal opinion.
Two, the only employees they have are working at the registers, so if you need help in bedding or in «aisle 9» good luck.
Three, the set up for this store, like many I’ve been to lately, is very disorganized. I think corporate does that on purpose to make the customer look at other items along their one item journey. Not cool corporate! Not. Cool.
Four, now that it’s winter and the young adults don’t have any where else to irritate people, they are here. And there are no employees to tell them to leave, because they are all working the registers, because their checkout process is slower then molasses, because management doesn’t know how to train, because they are teenagers too! Uhhh. I need to take a sec…
So. Good luck on your Target venture!

Disappointed in the selection of items at this specific location compared to all other Target locations I have been. This is the south hills and I expected a much better store. It’s consistently ditry and messy. Product placement is so confusing. Also, no cell service here so if time allows, sit in the Starbucks lounhe and plan your route on the cartwheel app beforehand because it’s useless once you’re in the store. However, i won’t stop shopping at target because how could you not love Target!?! I expected better from this location, that’s all

This the slowest Target I’ve ever been to. Long lines and long waits in line could be due to large orders by customers but this is a consistent problem that management does not seem able to or interested in aleviating.

This Target store serves as an anchor to South Hills Village mall. I normally go in here when I need low cost budget items or shopping for an apartment or college.
They offer a card which will give you 5% off your purchase which means if you buy an item that is taxable you are only paying 2% rather than the 7% if fully charged.
A lot of their merchandise is made from inferior materials which makes it perfect when you want to shop for a college student who is moving into a dorm or apartment or just want anything basic. I normally don’t do my grocery shopping here since it is out of the way. On my last visit I purchased a bathroom scale to replace an outdated one.
It is a good place however to grab gifts for baby and bridal showers as they have an extensive collection. I normally don’t buy clothes here since they don’t offer petite sizes but they do have a nice selection to choose from.
Staff is friendly and helpful.

Ehhh, it’s Wal-Mart’s classier cousin, the one that married the financial planner instead of the truck driver. Her house is always spotless, and her hair is always done. Her kids are busy with after-​school activities. She drinks a glass of wine at 9:30 every morning. She reads a romance novel, drops a valium, and crashes until 2.
Having commented or lampooned society through my words, Target is plenty of space with little going on. With grocery and department store items for sale, it somehow manages to be even blander than Wal-​Mart. In fact, I’m actually surprised a Target was built out here. It seems redundant. I mean, crikey, why would you come here to shop for food when the dandy Market District Giant Eagle is but a frisbee toss away?

Relatively new location located at South Hills Village mall.
Larger store with more of a selection than most Targets I have seen, especially the food section.
Target is more expensive in the clothing and shoes departments than I remember it being in years past but you can find good deals on clearance if you look. The food prices are actually very reasonable and sometimes cheaper than grocery stores.

A Good Target, yes. It’s very clean and pretty well staffed. The selection is not the greatest, fairly average. It is not uncommon to not find a lot of sizes or colors in the assortments. In Electronics and Toys, they have some limited depth as well, on occasion. But overall, it’s good.

Brand new target, clean inside good walk from the car to the door buttttt the spaced are VERY tight. This is inside the mall, but they also have their own outside entrance that is well lit, walkways are big.
Starbucks inside target is probably the best Starbucks inside a target I’ve been to. Staff is funny, friendly and talkative. They actually act like they like their jobs whatttt?! great!

The current evening manager at this Target is AMAZING. He is so nice — he even apologizes for stuff that is not Target’s fault. He really knows the meaning of customer service!

Good store, but awful phone system.
I had called in to the store, where I was greeted by a nice lady. I asked if there were any iPad covers in stock, so she said she would transfer me to electronics. So I sat on hold. After about 10 minutes of nobody answering, the machine automatically hung up on me.
I proceeded to call back, where the same lady greeted me. I explained what had happened, so she transfers me again. I, again, wait another 10 minutes where somebody finally picks up and says «…Hello?» And I said «Yes hi, I was calling ab-​» «Hello? Hello?» where I was hung up on yet again.
Against my better judgement, and after dealing with this for 20 minutes now, I call back again. This is where it just gets ridiculous. The same lady went to transfer me yet again. 5 minutes later someone answers and says «Yes we do have the Levi Jeans in a medium. Did you want me to hold it for you?» Where I proceeded to say «.Um. I was supposed to be transferred to electronics. I’m calling about an iPad Cover.» Where she said okay and went to transfer me. Again, the call was somehow lost.
Eventually I asked the lady after 3 times if she could just find it herself. In the end, they weren’t in stock.
So in the time I spent on the phone simply asking if an iPad Cover was in stock, I could have just driven down to check for myself and been back home and saved myself the time. Very disappointed. It should not take a half hour just to find out if something is in stock or not.

I was at the Starbucks at this target and was very disappointed with the service. The barista was extremely rude and got my order wrong. I have experienced poor service at this Starbucks more than once and will most likely not come back.

Finally, FINALLY — there’s a Target within a reasonable driving distance from those of us in the South Hills. Hallelujah!
Let me get the negative out of the way first: I am not a huge fan of the clothes at Target. Periodically I find something that fits just fine, but a lot of items just don’t work that well on me comfort or fit wise. Also, even if items do pass both tests… the stuff is cheap for a reason: it will not last long. Friends and I alike have fallen victim to the curse of Target clothing repeatedly in the past (i.e. it’s so preeeeetty, oh CRAP it’s ruined within a month or two). That said, Target is at least a good emergency shopping stop if you need replacement clothes in a hurry — which happens to all of us at least one at some point.
But Target redeems itself and more once you get past the front few aisles of clothes. The accessories I’ve bought here seem to hang in there and are exceptionally cute; shoes here are fairly reasonable as well. Plus, there is SO much more to look for here than clothes, and Target as a shopping area is still absolutely wonderful. I will always prefer Target to Wal*Mart — Target’s are just better maintained! They’re better organized and fun to walk around in, too, and this one is no exception. I have found great jewelry boxes, cheap lamps for work, cute pillows, affordable DVDs, basic desk supplies — heck, my friends and I have raided the toy aisles just for kicks, and it’s always fun because of the variety here. That’s just naming a few things off the top of my head.
Best of all, Target is now my supplemental food shopping site. Seriously: there are great snacks and frozen meals here that I haven’t found at Giant Eagle. I couldn’t believe it when I found that out. How awesome!
You’ll see me again soon, Target — I may have sworn off your clothing (with varying degrees of success, I admit — your winter gloves were pretty darn stylish last week; maybe those count as accessories, though?), but you still have plenty to offer!

Awesome new Target location! Love the Starbucks and grocery section. Conveniently located in south hills village mall. Prices are way lower than local grocery stores!!!

Much needed and long awaited addition to South Hills village. I love Target for many reasons but currently am thrilled at the new arrival for the ability to purchased green and natural cleaners for my home. Over the past two years Giant Eagle has stopped supplying almost all natural cleaning supplies. There are very few Seventh Generation or Method options anymore. Although Trader Joes does offer natural options, I find that the basic Trader Joe’s brand doesn’t compare to the quality of the big name brands like Seventh Gen for cleaning supplies (love the Trader Joe paper products though). Now that Target has landed at South Hills Village, I no longer have to make the trek to Robinson for cleaning supplies. Couple notes: this store is LARGE with a great food section. There is a Pizza Hut and Starbucks inside. Parking is not great but there are more spaces by the Bonefish Grill.

Target? Excuse me while I yawn… Yyyyyyyaaaaaawwwwwwwwnnnnnnnn. Been there done that, if Simon Properties wanted to thrill us why not bring a new store to the Burgh? They’re one of the largest Mall operators and owners in the nation and they can’t draw new businesses into the city? Beall’s? Fry’s? Books-​A-​Million? Nope, we get another Tarjey… Yyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaawwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnn!
