Target

This NEW target sucks. This Target is where the senior citizens that are employed there go to die while ringing up a single mom with a screaming child, and the woman in front of me desperately tries to hide the fact that she’s buying tampons, oh and a diet coke. The woman Laurie did not even know how properly tender the sale, or make it pop up on the little credit card slider screen. The child is happy now because Laurie took an ungodly 4 minutes to find a crappy target sticker to give to the kid. Did I mention that the mom didn’t have a carriage? JUST a stroller for this little snotty terror. Wherever will they put the 15 pairs of ugly drink cups (omg so good for hosting Xmas at our house this year!!!) ON TOP OF THE SNOT MONSTER. Crying + sticker = not crying. Crying + sticker + all the shit you bought stacked on head = crying and screaming.
Holy hell, that’s just today. I go here often as I work practically on top of this dumpster fire.
This is only one of my many horrible experiences at this place. I’ll tell you what else sucks about this Target.
#1. As you walk in, notice the TINY security «guard» aka 18 year old high school girl who looks like she might blow away when the doors open on a windy day. Who the hell is she gonna secure? Right.
#2. This place has a Pizza Hut/​other crappy food spot in it. Up until recently, they would always have 0 pizzas/​breadsticks/​other stuff ready for 12:00 (lunch time, duh). Typically would have to wait 10 – 15 minutes for the food to come out. GET A CLUE.
#3. Again, the senior citizens that are working the registers don’t know how to work the registers quickly and efficiently. It’s December. STOP TALKING TO THE CRYING CHILD. STOP TRYING TO MAKE SMALL TALK ABOUT THE CHILD AFTER THEY ARE GONE. STOP IT. LAURIE.
#4. Isaiah. I know you’re not from here but please train Isaiah how to work the register. He couldn’t even figure out how to slide a credit card the other day FOR a customer in the line. Granted it was one of those microchip cards, but still. Train your people correctly.
#5. This target’s stop signs are all in the wrong place/​facing the wrong direction. Whichever asshat was the foreman for the traffic signs failed. Terrible.
Are there any good things about this Target?
–The weird kid with the bowl cut only stares at me until I’m out of eyeshot. He doesn’t follow me. Although I must admit when he’s standing behind customer service over the little red fence is kind of creepy.
–the chick that works the Pizza Hut with the terrible glasses doesn’t ignore you while you stand there with your food ready to eat. Really. She doesn’t.
Actual complaint: selling Lego mini figures series 13 for 4.89. They are usually 3.99. I would buy them at 3.99.
In conclusion:
This target sucks and it’s the only one close to me. Phooey.

Huge, new Target in Wilmington.
First problem, the parking lot. I had no trouble parking. But the parking lot smelled worse than anything I’ve ever smelt before. It was horrific. Literally, ran into the store because of the stench. I understand this place is new, but their is a brand new Target in my town (south of Boston), which NEVER has any sort of smell, so there ISN’T an excuse.
Another reviewer said something about «a step up from the Woburn store». This is something I definitely disagree with. I visited that store on Friday, as in the area all weekend (oh yeah, what’s up with the Wilmington /​Woburn /​Burlington area not having any Walmarts? Target is ok, but Walmart is less expensive, and more loyal to me), and in Woburn had a better experience: including Self-​checkout (this store doesn’t have), as well as a larger store with a more manageable and useful layout. I have no complaints about the AWESOME guys at the Electronics desk here… By the way, Ryan is SO friendly, helpful and caring about every customer! I also DID like that the store wasn’t nearly as busy as others and seemed to have a newer look (new signs, etc, etc), as well as being just as clean (or maybe a little cleaner…) than the Woburn store. But I do have a complaint about the guy working in returns as he didn’t REALLY want to allow me to do an exchange without my receipt. I don’t live in the area (I’m between the south shore and metro west), and my normal store ALWAYS, consistently allows returns without receipt. Now, I am not even asking for a gift card OR cash! Simply an EVEN exchange (things brake SO easily these days, guess unless it’s Bloomingdale’s quality I should expect it to last a day!). Anyway, he did it for me, but said it cannot happen again (yeah, whatever. I’ll write down NOT to exchange or return anything at the Wilmington store, if I ever consider returning). Anyway, the store is pretty good and MOST of the staff are pretty good, just it doesn’t live up to the AMAZING store in Woburn. Which by the way, is open until 11 weeknights, instead of ten, has a portrait studio, 2 entrances, more checkouts, and as I said, has self checkout. Woburn, 5 stars. Wilmington, 4 stars.

I’m a fan of Targets, I always like checking out ones I’ve never been too. Driving in the freeway I spotted this location and made a mental note to go back to it.
This was one nice large clean Target. Not many people, which made shopping easier. Everything was in order, prices were good, and the line for check out was great.
Their bathrooms were extremely clean, this was a first time I actually went inside a Target restroom and was not grossed out by how filthy it is. They even had hot water for washing your hand. I see that this is a newer Target, I’m glad it’s been kept up well.

The is Target in Wilmington is located just off Rt. 93, it is brand new (opened in October) and very clean and organized. They also have a large food selection with many brand names and fresh products. They even have a Starbucks to top it off!

Clean store, nice employees. Built very recently, opened October 2, 2014. Lots of room, not crowded like Woburn. Highly recommended.

Brand new Target. Wide open, fully stocked isles. Clean and fresh. Friendly staff. A nice step up from the Woburn store.

Even thought their grand opening was 10÷12÷14, the store was actually open at least the day before, if not sooner. I was in the area, so I decided to check it out. I was hoping the store would be a bit more state-​of-​the-​art (even for Target) — it was, at least in the tech section, with more smartphones and computer accessories available. The grocery section was, as I expected, well stocked.
But for a store about to have its grand opening, there were already signs of negligence. The floors were already littered and scuffed. I was very surprised to find the men’s room was in need of maintenance (maybe they don’t have their service schedule in place yet?). It was also pretty obvious this was the first job for some younger cashiers, but they will ease into their work over time.
The parking lot, while large, has an awkward entrance/​exit off Ballardvale Street. Watch your stop signs and right of way. And above all, don’t bother trying to run red lights. I also noticed a camera on top of or next to every single traffic light at the intersection.
